[00:02] Captain
    Ordinarily, this crystal should
    change to a silver color.
[00:06] Soldier2
    Huh? But doesn't that mean...
[00:08] Captain
    Guess this thing's toast.
[00:10] Soldier2
    Shouldn't we inform Alion of this?
[00:13] Captain
    Well, we can slap the usual
    "nothing amiss" in today's report.
[00:13] Sign
    Ruins of Disposal
[00:17] Captain
    Nothing's out of place here either way.
[00:20] Soldier1
    You don't think someone actually
    made it out of these ruins alive, do you?
[00:26] Capatin
    That's not happening.
[00:28] Capatin
    After all, the Ruins of Disposal
    have a survival rate of zero.
[00:46] StallOwner
    Oh, you like the Lord of the Flies one?
[00:48] Touka
    Lord of the Flies?
[00:50] StallOwner
    He once turned an island
    of monsters into his fortress
[00:53] StallOwner
    and fended off all kinds of invasions,
[00:56] StallOwner
    making himself master of the demons
    ostracized by the source of evil itself.
[01:01] StallOwner
    The Lord of the Flies' army
    was ultimately wiped out,
[01:05] StallOwner
    but since the way they went down
     was just so cool,
[01:07] StallOwner
    they're still popular to this day.
[01:11] Seras
    Sir Tooka...
[01:14] Seras
    Adding excess worries would
    only interfere with his journey.
[01:19] Seras
    So at least for a while...
[01:22] Seras
    I should focus on being his sword.
[01:27] Touka
    I'm not exactly a good hero right now.
[01:36] Touka
    A devil feels much more appropriate.
[01:39] Touka
    Goddess Vicius...
[01:41] Touka
    You'll find yourself crushed
    underfoot one day.
[01:44] Touka
    I'm going to be the one
     to put you in your place.
[01:48] Touka**
    Don't underestimate the dedication
[01:52] Touka
    of a man who's sold his soul.
[01:58] Sign
    Failure Frame
[01:58] Sign
    I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything with Low-Level Spells
[03:24] Sign
    White Citadel of Protection
    Magnar Kingdom
[03:24] Ganozea
    I can't believe the Five Dragoons
     have been wiped out.
[03:28] Sign
    Inside, Wolves' Rendezvous
[03:28] Ganozea
    And you're certain it's true?
[03:31] Ganozea
    I still find it hard to swallow that
    Humanity's Strongest is no more.
[03:31] Sign
    Ganozea Sigmus
    Magnar's White Wolf King
[03:36] Jin
    I identified the corpses
    of the Five Dragoons personally.
[03:37] Sign
    Jin Rowan
    Ulza's Monster Slayer King
[03:39] Jin
    We are looking into the matter.
[03:41] Ganozea
    Right. Any pertinent information from Alion?
[03:45] Sign
    Yusef Wolletta
    Alion's Steadfast King
[03:45] Yusef
    Goddess?
[03:48] Sign
    Goddess Vicius
    Alion Kingdom
[03:49] Vicius
    Apparently the Black Dragon Knights
    were pursuing Seras Ashrain.
[03:53] Alma
    Neah's former knight captain?
[03:54] Sign
    Alma Sentnokia
    Yonato's Queen, Keeper of the Sacred Eyes
[03:56] Alma
    Do we have any clue where
    she went afterward?
[03:59] Jin
    At the scene, we found what we believe to be
[04:02] Jin
    the bloody, torn remnants of her clothes.
[04:05] Jin
    Judging by the amount of blood,
[04:06] Jin
    we believe she was grievously wounded.
[04:09] Alma
    You're suggesting there's a chance they
    killed each other and she's already dead.
[04:14] Jin
    Anyway, speaking of Neah,
[04:16] Jin
    I heard Holy Emperor Ortola
    passed away last night.
[04:19] Jin
    I also heard he lost his mind
    just before his death.
[04:23] Ganozea
    Hmph.
[04:23] Ganozea
    I couldn't care less about the coward who
    sold out his own country without a fight.
[04:28] Vicius
    Either way,
[04:29] Vicius
    the Black Dragon Knights were our best
    hope against the Great Demon Empire.
[04:34] Vicius
    Losing them is a major
    blow to our Holy Alliance.
[04:39] Vicius
    It so follows
[04:40] Vicius
    that the heroes from another world
    will play an even more important role now.
[04:44] Zine Mira
    When great evil comes, Alion flourishes.
[04:44] Sign
    Falkendotzine Miradiasordzit
    Mira's Beautiful Mad Emperor
[04:48] Vicius
    Oh my. I do believe it sounds
    like you're implying something.
[04:52] Zine Mira
    Whenever the source of evil itself appears,
[04:54] Zine Mira
    all nations are forced to rely upon Alion.
[04:57] Vicius
    There's nothing we can do about that.
[04:59] Vicius
    Every living soul in this world is hampered
[05:02] Vicius
    by the demon king essence, leaving them
     unable to harness their full power.
[05:08] Zine Mira
    What about the legend of the God Slayer?
[05:11] Vicius
    Pardon, but what could possibly lead
    you to bring up such a story now?
[05:16] Vicius
    Are you well?
[05:19] Zine Mira
    Sorry for interrupting the conversation.
[05:22] Zine Mira
    Do continue.
[05:24] Ganozea
    I'd like to ask you all once more.
[05:26] Ganozea
    Do you believe the demise of the Five
    Dragoons was the work of Seras Ashrain?
[05:35] Soldier
    Excuse me.
[05:37] Ganozea
    Hmm.
[05:38] Ganozea
    Apparently someone in Ulza
    is claiming they were responsible
[05:42] Ganozea
    for eliminating the Black Dragon Knights.
[05:45] Ganozea
    They call themselves
     the cursed magic users of Ashint.
[05:52] Sign
    Monroy's Bloodsport Champion
[05:53] Seras
    The Land of Golden-Eyed Monsters
    lies further north from here.
[05:58] Touka
    No signs of pursuers, huh?
[06:01] Seras
    I expect this city will be our
    best option to make preparations.
[06:06] Touka
    What's that?
[06:07] Seras
    The bloodsport colosseum.
[06:10] Touka
    Bloodsport colosseum?
[06:11] Seras
    Yes.
[06:12] Seras
    It's an arena where slaves
    and mercenaries kill each other.
[06:16] Seras
    The fighters are called bloodsport warriors,
[06:19] Seras
    and they can earn rewards by winning matches.
[06:21] Touka
    So like the gladiators of ancient Rome.
[06:25] Seras
    The duke and the mercenary's
     guild run the place.
[06:29] Seras
    It's now a prime source
    of entertainment for the masses,
[06:32] Seras
    but it started as a place for the
    mercenary's guild to assess fighters.
[06:39] Touka
    This looks like a good inn.
[06:41] Seras
    So as not to waste travel funds,
[06:43] Seras
    I feel we should get but one room...
[06:46] Seras
    unless you're against it, my liege.
[06:50] Touka
    You know I'm a man, right?
[06:56] Seras
    That's not a problem.
[06:58] Touka
    Then I'll guess we'll go with one room.
[07:00] Seras
    O-Okay.
[07:05] Touka
    As expected of the capital,
[07:06] Touka
    this place is pretty packed.
[07:08] Drunk1
    Hey, did you hear about
    the Black Dragon Knights?
[07:09] Touka
    From here, I can...
[07:10] Drunk2
    Got any new info on that?
[07:12] Drunk1
    You know how they say Seras Ashrain
    killed the Five Dragoons?
[07:16] Drunk1
    Well, apparently she's dead!
[07:19] Drunk2
    Did they take each other out?
[07:21] Touka
    Are you alright?
[07:21] Drunk
    Nah, she just lost and fell in battle.
[07:25] Seras
    Thank you.
[07:25] Drunk2
    Then who killed them?
[07:27] Drunk1
    They're saying Ashint got the Five Dragoons.
[07:31] Touka
    Ashint?
[07:32] Drunk2
    Oh, the cursed magic users everyone's
    been talking about lately?
[07:36] Drunk1
    Word is they're going around claiming they
     killed the Dragoons with their curses.
[07:41] Touka
    What do you think?
[07:42] Seras
    I've heard rumors about them as of late.
[07:45] Seras
    Apparently they worship the god of curses.
[07:51] AshintSoldier
    We are the guardians of Ashint!
[07:54] Sign
    Ashint Soldiers
[07:54] AshintSoldier
    The soldiers who protect Sir Muaji,
    progeny of the curse god!
[07:58] AshintSoldier
    We are his Curse Soldiers.
[08:00] AshintSoldier
    Now, clear a seat for us.
[08:04] AshintSoldier
    Hurry up and bring us some booze!
[08:06] AshintSoldier
    We are the saviors of Ulza!
[08:09] Touka
    They hardly seem like a threat.
[08:11] Touka
    But I guess it works out for me if
    they're taking responsibility
[08:14] Touka
    for offing the Black Dragon Knights.
[08:16] Drunk1
    Must've really cursed them to death, huh?
[08:19] Drunk2
    Well, even if someone else did the deed,
[08:22] Drunk2
    these guys could always just say
    it was the work of their curses.
[08:25] Touka
    I see. That's one way to look at it.
[08:27] Drunk1
    Man, speaking of people
    who could take on the Dragoons...
[08:30] Drunk2
    The Dragon Slayer and the
    leopardman at the colosseum.
[08:32] Drunk1
    What about the Witch of Taboos?
[08:34] Drunk2
    What, the witch?
[08:35] Drunk2
    Yeah! She's a dark elf, right?
[08:38] Drunk2
    Though no one's seen her
     in over a decade now.
[08:42] Drunk1
    Actually, someone right here
     in the royal capital has met her.
[08:45] Touka
    Mind telling me more about that?
[08:49] Drunk1
    Who the hell are you, man?
[08:51] Touka
    Oh, first, each of you can
    order two drinks of your choice.
[08:54] Touka
    Place an order for something to eat, too.
[08:57] Touka
    My treat, of course.
[08:57] Drunk1
    All right, young man, have a seat!
[09:00] Drunk2
    Hey, lady! Bring us another round!
[09:03] Drunk1
    So, the person who claims
    they've met the Witch of Taboos
[09:06] Drunk1
    is apparently Monroy's
    strongest bloodsport warrior.
[09:10] Touka
    How would I go about meeting this person?
[09:12] Drunk2
    That monster's gotta be at
     the bloodsport colosseum, right?
[09:16] Drunk2
    If you talk to Duke Zuan,
    the guy who runs the place—
[09:22] Drunk2
    Boy, you're in luck.
[09:27] Drunk2
    That right there is Monroy's
    strongest bloodsport warrior...
[09:32] Drunk2
    Eve Speed.

    I Became the Strongest and

[09:38] Touka
    Can I treat you to anything?
[09:42] Touka
    I heard the rumors about you
[09:43] Touka
    and was hoping to meet you.
[09:46] Touka
    My name is Hati. I'm a mercenary.
[09:49] Eve
    Eve Speed.
[09:52] Touka
    You can really put it away, huh?
[09:54] Touka
    Oh, right, you're a bloodsport warrior.
[09:56] Eve
    State your business.
[09:59] Eve
    You didn't come over here
     because I'm a bloodsport warrior.
[10:03] Eve
    Or am I wrong?
[10:04] Touka
    Saw right through me, huh?
[10:05] Touka
    Then I'll be upfront.
[10:07] Touka
    Do you know where the Witch of Taboos is?
[10:11] Eve
    So you're the type to believe
    rumors flying around, huh?
[10:14] Eve
    It's true I ventured to the Land of
    Golden-Eyed Monsters where she dwells,
[10:19] Eve
    but I've never met the witch.
[10:22] Touka
    So you're saying that you don't
    know where the Witch of Taboos is?
[10:27] Eve
    Sorry, but I don't.
[10:29] Touka
    I see.
[10:31] Eve
    Why do you seek the Witch of Taboos?
[10:34] Touka
    Curiosity, I suppose?
[10:36] Touka
    I dream of being a scholar in the future.
[10:38] Touka
    So I'd love to hire a mercenary
    and pay the witch a visit.
[10:42] Eve
    That's not a place you waltz into
    and come back alive.
[10:45] Eve
    I know this sounds rude,
[10:47] Eve
    but I doubt you'd last three days there.
[10:50] Touka
    I appreciate your concern.
[10:54] Eve
    Hmph. I'm just doing you a favor.
[10:57] Eve
    From what I can tell, you're still young.
[10:59] Eve
    You should cherish your life.
[11:02] Eve
    Though maybe that rings hollow
     coming from a bloodsport warrior.
[11:12] Seras
    She was lying.
[11:15] Touka
    So by denying it,
    she actually outed herself to us.
[11:18] Seras
    Yes. This has to mean...
[11:20] Touka
    Eve Speed knows the whereabouts
    of the Witch of Taboos.
[11:24] Touka
    Oh no.
[11:25] Seras
    What's the matter?
[11:28] Touka
    I forgot to bring Piggymaru food.
[11:31] Seras
    Huh?
[11:32] Touka
    It's been a while, but I guess I'll use that.
[11:47] Seras
    Slightly hardened bread...
[11:50] Seras
    and is this cheese?
[11:54] Seras
    It's delicious.
[11:57] Seras
    What is this?
[11:58] Seras
    Is it a common food in your world?
[12:03] Touka
    It is.
[12:05] Seras
    P-Pardon me.
[12:07] Touka
    Enjoying this otherworldy snack?
[12:09] Seras
    Yes. It's so good it made me smile.
[12:13] Touka
    I'd love to give you more,
[12:14] Touka
    but sadly I can't will it
    to produce the same thing.
[12:18] Seras
    A transparent bag...
[12:20] Seras
    Are these letters scribed on it?
[12:23] Seras
    It's pretty.
[12:37] Touka
    Maybe it seems more alluring
    because it's not from your world.
[12:43] Touka
    Now, let's consider our plan moving forward.
[12:46] Seras
    Yes.
[12:47] Touka
    First up, the Witch of Taboos' location.
[12:50] Touka
    I hope we can find a way to get that
    bloodsport warrior to tell us, but...
[12:53] Seras
    Shall we try gathering information
    on her tomorrow?
[12:58] Touka
    What would a bloodsport warrior
    value most after their life?
[13:01] Seras
    Typically money?
[13:03] Seras
    They can buy their freedom
     if they have the funds.
[13:07] Seras
    Though it seems to require a vast sum.
[13:11] Touka
    A vast sum, huh?
[13:18] Eve
    Anything new?
[13:20] Lisbeth
    No.
[13:23] Eve
    Hang in there a little longer.
[13:25] Eve
    I promise I'll get you out of here.
[13:32] Seras
    Silfigzea, Ferillbanger, Willozega.
[13:42] Touka
    Every time I see this, it reminds me of
    a magical girl's transformation scene.
[14:01] Touka
    What gorgeous swordsmanship.
[14:05] Touka
    No wonder Civit had high
    hopes for fighting her.
[14:16] Touka
    So, is there any kind of trick
     to close combat?
[14:21] Seras
    Are you interested?
[14:23] Touka
    I rely too much on my skill as things stand.
[14:25] Touka
    I might need it at some point.
[14:29] Seras
    I understand.
[14:30] Seras
    We'll start with using minimal
    motion to lock down your opponent.
[14:37] Touka
    What is it?
[14:38] Seras
    Well, back when I was captain of the knights,
    I often trained the members like this.
[14:43] Seras
    So I suddenly felt nostalgic.
[14:49] Seras
    Now then...
[14:52] Seras
    Please assault me.
[14:58] Seras
    Oh, no, um...
[15:00] Seras
    I only meant in terms of
    using force to defeat me.
[15:07] Touka
    I know. Here I come.
[15:15] Seras
    Now, if you do this as well...
[15:16] Seras
    You don't need any weapons for this,
[15:19] Seras
    and you can use it on opponents
    you don't want to harm seriously.
[15:21] Seras
    You can hone this move
    in a few short days...
[15:24] Seras
    I-I'm sorry!
[15:26] Seras
    I got too close and I'm all sweaty!
[15:29] Touka
    Don't worry about it.
[15:30] Touka
    If you don't want to get so close,
[15:32] Touka
    then please at least teach me the form.
[15:35] Seras
    S-Sir Tooka, are you all right
    with me teaching you like this?
[15:40] Touka
    Yeah, I'm fine with it.
[15:42] Touka
    Let's keep going.
[15:47] Seras
    Sir Tooka's...
[15:53] Seras
    What a strange sensation.
[15:55] Seras
    It feels like part of him
    is blending into me...
[16:02] Seras
    What am I...?
[16:06] Seras
    It doesn't look like anyone is watching.
[16:09] Seras
    Even if I do have affection for him,
    how could I do such a dirty, lewd thing?
[16:13] Touka
    Do you have a moment?
[16:21] Seras
    Since when—?!
[16:22] Seras
    H-How long has Sir Tooka been here?
[16:24] Seras
    I'm sorry I didn't notice you were there.
[16:27] Seras
    Did you need me for something?
[16:30] Touka
    Yeah, I noticed my clothes were missing,
[16:32] Touka
    so I wanted to check with you.
[16:34] Seras
    My apologies!
[16:35] Seras
    I know I didn't ask, but I thought I
    would wash them with mine!
[16:39] Touka
    You don't mind if I ask you to do that?
[16:41] Seras
    I don't mind at all!
[16:42] Seras
    I'm used to washing clothes.
[16:58] Touka
    That's what a truly kind person looks like.
[17:07] Touka
    Seras is diligently trying
    to become my sword.
[17:11] Touka
    She's suppressing all kinds of emotions
    to perform her role for me.
[17:17] Touka
    I should be grateful.
[17:21] Seras
    Sir Tooka?
[17:23] Seras
    Are you still awake?
[17:26] Touka
    I just couldn't sleep.
[17:27] Seras
    That's not good.
[17:29] Seras
    In that case...
[17:34] Seras
    These are a type of medicinal herb.
[17:36] Touka
    Do they help you go to sleep?
[17:38] Seras
    That's correct.
[17:40] Touka
    Looks like there are several varieties.
[17:42] Seras
    Yes. These herbs have a similar color,
    but they have the opposite effect.
[17:46] Seras
    Drinking these is said to grant
    you vigor and leave you excited.
[17:52] Seras
    I'm sorry.
[17:53] Seras
    Um, I didn't mean anything by that.
[17:55] Touka
    I know.
[17:57] Touka
    Medicinal herbs, huh?
[18:00] Touka
    Wait a minute.
[18:10] Seras
    Oh, that smells good.
[18:12] Touka
    Would you like a taste
    before we add the herbs?
[18:15] Seras
    Yes, please!
[18:18] Seras
    It's delicious!
[18:20] Seras
    So just putting this
    in hot water creates soup?
[18:23] Seras
    Seems like an excellent portable meal.
[18:26] Touka
    Let's try adding the herbs next.
[18:28] Seras
    Yes, right away.
[18:35] Seras
    It's done.
[18:37] Touka
    Shall I drink the one we
    used the wrong amount in?
[18:40] Seras
    No, I'll drink it!
[18:42] Seras
    Please let me take responsibility.
[18:45] Touka
    Okay...
[18:49] Seras
    It may be a bit thick after
    using the wrong amount,
[18:52] Seras
    but drinking this is refreshing.
[18:54] Touka
    Refreshing?
[18:56] Seras
    Isn't it?
[18:57] Seras
    This herb typically...
[19:02] Touka
    Did you use the wrong one?
[19:03] Seras
    Yes...
[19:08] Seras
    Sir Tooka, I'm truly sorry.
[19:10] Touka
    It's fine.
[19:11] Touka
    Thanks to that, I can read through
    a bit more of this tonight.
[19:16] Touka
    Damn, I can't seem to settle down.
[19:20] Seras
    Um...
[19:22] Seras
    Is there anything I can do for you?
[19:31] Touka
    Just get some sleep.
[19:33] Touka
    We have intel to gather tomorrow.
[19:39] Seras
    Sir Tooka.
[19:41] Seras
    May I ask you something?
[19:44] Touka
    What is it?
[19:45] Seras
    Are you resistant to temptation?
[19:48] Seras
    Oh, I mean, um...
[19:50] Touka
    Well, I might be resistant for now.
[19:57] Seras
    For now?
[19:59] Touka
    Right now, my revenge takes
    priority over all else.
[20:05] Touka
    I think that makes it difficult for me
    to turn my attention elsewhere.
[20:09] Touka
    In a sense, it's binding me.
[20:11] Seras
    Binding you?
[20:13] Touka
    Though once I achieve my revenge,
    I should be able to focus on other things.
[20:18] Touka
    Until then...
[20:20] Touka
    Well, I guess it's like I'm cursed.
[20:30] Seras
    I'll do everything in my power to help
    release you from that curse as soon as we can.
[20:38] Touka
    Yeah, I'll be counting on you.
[20:41] Seras
    Yes, my liege.

    Bloodsport Colosseum
[20:51] Seras
    I've returned.
[20:54] Touka
    How did it go?
[20:55] Seras
    As you'd expect concerning
     a popular bloodsport warrior,
[20:58] Seras
    everyone was happy to talk
    when I brought up Eve Speed.
[21:02] Seras
    She used to be a slave,
[21:04] Seras
    and her slaver sold her to the colosseum.
[21:07] Seras
    Since leopardmen are uncommon,
[21:10] Seras
    she was a hit from her first fight.
[21:12] Seras
    Also, she hasn't lost a single
    match in the three years since.
[21:17] Touka
    Did you already hear that
    tomorrow's her final fight?
[21:22] Seras
    Yes.
[21:23] Touka
    Which means she's already earned
    enough to buy her own freedom.
[21:27] Touka
    That'll make using money
    to negotiate rather difficult.
[21:31] Seras
    Moreover, I learned something concerning.
[21:34] Seras
    Apparently, she'd already earned the funds
    to buy her own freedom two years ago.
[21:41] Touka
    Then why...?
[21:44] Seras
    She's trying to buy someone else's.
[21:48] Touka
    A child?
[21:50] Seras
    She wants her freedom too.
[21:53] Seras
    There's one more thing you should know.
[21:57] Seras
    The majority of previous bloodsport champions
[22:00] Seras
    have died during their final matches.
[22:03] Touka
    I heard about that too.
[22:05] Touka
    But isn't that just the result
[22:07] Touka
    of getting pitted against
    a challenging opponent for a finale?
[22:11] Seras
    It seems there's more to it than that.
[22:16] Seras
    I heard the duke running
    the bloodsport colosseum
[22:19] Seras
    arranges for the champions
    to be at a disadvantage.
[22:32] Touka
    Then that might be our lead.
