[00:00] Muaji
This is a trap.
[00:03] Muaji
It was snapped intentionally.
[00:05] Muaji
You knew we wouldn't fail to notice it,
[00:08] Muaji
so marching into the forest must
be exactly what you want us to do.
[00:12] Muaji
I've seen through your ploy!
[00:14] Muaji
Why don't you give it up and come on out?
[00:20] Muaji
The Fly Swordsman, a subordinate
who appears in the legend
[00:23] Muaji
of the Lord of the Flies, hmm?
[00:26] Muaji
I don't know who you are,
[00:28] Muaji
but if you hand over the leopardman
and the girl, I'll spare your life.
[00:32] Muaji
Better yet, I'll even welcome
you into the ranks of Ashint.
[00:35] Muaji
You seem to be a rather skilled warrior.
[00:39] Seras
And if I refuse?
[00:40] Muaji
Then I'll bestow suffering with my curses.
[00:43] Muaji
Suffering so great you'll rue being alive.
[00:46] Muaji
Even the Five Dragoons could
not fend off our curses.
[00:49] Seras
You claim to be the ones who slew them?
[00:51] Muaji
Yes. Even Humanity's Strongest
was powerless before our curses.
[00:56] Seras
Promise me you'll guarantee
Eve and that girl's safety.
[01:00] Muaji
You have my word on the matter.
[01:03] Seras
Very well. Then I'll lead you to them.
[01:06] Seras
Everyone, please follow me.
[01:09] Muaji
I see.
[01:10] Muaji
Halt, all of you.
[01:13] Muaji
You have no intention
of simply handing them over.
[01:17] Muaji
Isn't that right?

[02:52] Seras
How...?
[02:53] Muaji
You wording gave you away.
[02:55] Muaji
Just now, you said "everyone."
[02:58] Muaji
A few men would be plenty
to accompany you.
[03:01] Muaji
But you were trying to lead us
all into the woods.
[03:06] Muaji
Perhaps you need us in
range for something. Is that it?
[03:09] Muaji
Maintain your distance
and prepare to attack, men.
[03:13] Seras
I thought you were going to kill me
with your masterful curses.
[03:16] Muaji
I'll let you in on a little secret.
[03:18] Muaji
My Ashint soldiers here are
the successors of the assassin's guild.
[03:24] Muaji
A hero from another world once declared
the guild evil and exterminated it,
[03:28] Muaji
but we've taken up their line of work
[03:32] Muaji
as users of curse magic.
[03:35] Seras
So you use poisons?
[03:37] Muaji
Correct.
[03:38] Muaji
Incredibly advanced ones.
[03:41] Muaji
Ones that can only be synthesized via
special techniques passed down
[03:45] Muaji
among the few survivors
of the assassin's guild.
[03:49] Seras
So they kill people with advanced
poison that leaves no trace.
[03:53] Seras
That's the true nature of their "curses."
[03:55] Muaji
Then the tragedy of the Black
Dragon Knights fell into our lap.
[03:59] Muaji
The sudden demise of the Five Dragoons
heralded as the strongest alive—
[04:03] Seras
Could only be explained by curses
beyond human understanding.
[04:06] Muaji
You are wonderfully quick on the uptake.
[04:09] Muaji
That is why we proclaimed ourselves
the slayers of the Five Dragoons.
[04:12] Muaji
We decided it was the perfect opportunity
to foster belief in our curses.
[04:15] Muaji
No one can prove they aren't real!
[04:18] Muaji
Maybe it really was a curse!
[04:20] Muaji
So long as such uncertainty remains,
we come out on top no matter what!
[04:25] Muaji
In this world, without any proof,
those with the loudest claim take all!
[04:29] Seras
So what is your ultimate goal?
[04:32] Muaji
We're going to use Duke Zuan to carve out
a central role for us in this nation.
[04:37] Seras
All while assassinating
those who get in your way?
[04:39] Muaji
Yes!
[04:40] Muaji
In the end, we'll take
the country for ourselves.
[04:43] Muaji
By the way, where are your other allies?
[04:46] Seras
Aside from Eve and the girl, it's just me.
[04:49] Muaji
I find it hard to believe you planned
to face us all by yourself.
[04:54] Seras
Then allow me to explain.
[05:05] Seras
You see, I'm the one who survived
facing down the Five Dragoons.
[05:11] Muaji
To think the Fly Swordsman is
actually the famous Seras Ashrain...
[05:15] Muaji
Though it's all starting to come together.
[05:17] Muaji
So, you slew the Five Dragoons?
[05:20] Seras
And if I did?
[05:21] Muaji
No, it couldn't have been you.
[05:23] Seras
Why do you think that?
[05:24] Muaji
It's simple.
[05:26] Muaji
I don't believe you could best
Humanity's Strongest.
[05:31] Muaji
This is the man set to be that
leopardman's final bloodsport opponent.
[05:36] Muaji
His name's Belgar.
[05:38] Muaji
And this over here
[05:40] Muaji
is Belgar's older brother, Varragan.
[05:42] Muaji
These two are Ashint's strongest siblings.
[05:46] Muaji
And what an odd twist of fate,
[05:48] Muaji
for they had a younger brother named Zarash.
[05:52] Muaji
That's right.
[05:53] Muaji
They're the older brothers of the Fang,
who was pursuing you.
[05:57] Muaji
Now what will you do,
[05:59] Muaji
Seras Ashrain?
[06:04] Muaji
My subordinates have already
circled around behind you.
[06:08] Muaji
Shocked, are you?
[06:10] Muaji
Indeed, we were just a decoy.
[06:12] Muaji
Cloaking one's presence
and sneaking up on a target
[06:15] Muaji
is an art all assassins master.
[06:18] Muaji
That said...
[06:19] Muaji
You have a terribly
pretty face, don't you?
[06:22] Muaji
I think I'll need to take my time
granting you my personal blessing
[06:26] Muaji
and reforming you as a proper
devotee of the curse god.
[06:30] Muaji
No matter how strong you may be,
[06:32] Muaji
all are powerless before the status
ailment caused by our curse!
[06:36] Muaji
This is the end for you.
[06:38] Muaji
Now, bend a knee where you stand.
[06:44] Muaji
Seras Ashrain,
[06:46] Muaji
I shall grant you the honor
of one day bearing my child.

Let me demonstrate a "curse"
you're unfamiliar with.
[07:15] Touka
Paralyze!
[07:22] Touka
Guess you didn't think I'd have
an attack with this kind of range.
[07:25] Muaji
Wh-Where's our detachment?
[07:29] Touka
I already crushed them.
[07:30] Touka
All fifteen men while
you were blabbing away.
[07:33] Touka
Poison.
[07:35] Touka
You were keen enough to notice
that Eve was up to something,
[07:38] Touka
so I knew you'd catch
that intentionally broken branch
[07:41] Touka
and avoid entering the forest
for fear of a trap.
[07:45] Touka
Which is why...
[07:47] (Flashback) Touka
Act like you're trying to lure
them all into the forest.
[07:50] Touka
I tipped you off that something was afoot
[07:52] Touka
and had you suss it out yourself
[07:54] Touka
to make you feel in control,
confident that your judgment was sound.
[07:58] Touka
Yet that's exactly what
paralyzed your analysis,
[08:01] Touka
acting like a poison.
[08:08] Seras
It went exactly as you predicted, my liege.
[08:11] Touka
You played along with him
to buy time for us.
[08:16] Touka
His mistake was not considering
the possibility of a greater ploy.
[08:22] Touka
Seras, I was right to leave him to you.
[08:25] Seras
I'm glad I was able to help.
[08:27] Touka
Could you go back and update
Eve on the situation?
[08:30] Seras
Yes. Consider it done.
[08:33] Touka
They've turned back, huh?
[08:35] Touka
My real trap would be incomplete
if the first wave didn't return.
[08:39] Touka
Piggymaru, let's connect again.
[08:41] Touka
What's the matter?
[08:44] Touka
Sorry.
[08:45] Touka
I didn't even think about
the toll on you. My bad.
[08:49] Eve
So not even you can predict everything, huh?
[08:52] Eve
Allow me to aid you.
[08:54] Touka
All right. Seras, take care of Lis.
[08:56] Seras
Yes. I'm counting on you, Eve.
[08:59] Eve
Yes.
[09:00] Lis
Big Sis, don't worry about me.
[09:02] Touka
She'll be safe with Seras.
[09:04] Touka
Have no fear.
[09:06] Touka
Can you get an accurate
headcount on the first wave?
[09:15] Eve
Got it.
[09:20] Soldier1
We've finally found you, Eve Speed!
[09:23] Soldier2
We'll drag your pathetic leopardman
corpse before the duke!
[09:26] Soldier2
Your head is mine!
[09:29] Touka
Paralyze!
[09:33] Touka
Poison!
[09:35] Eve
Tooka.
[09:36] Touka
Yeah, I know.
[09:40] Zuan
There's nowhere left for you to run,
[09:42] Zuan
you ungrateful mockery of a human!
[09:44] Zuan
You can run, but it's futile, futile, futile!
[09:46] Eve
Duke Zuan...
[09:47] Costello
Rejoice, Eve Speed.
[09:49] Costello
The duke will mount your head on a pike
[09:51] Costello
and have that girl wear garb
made from your pelt.
[09:55] Costello
You'll be together forever,
happily ever after.
[09:59] Zuan
And once I sell her off to a brothel,
[10:01] Zuan
I'll make her wear a leopard mask
while she serves her customers!

Berserk to drive the duke mad.
[11:23] Eve
Tooka, I must thank you.
[11:26] Eve
Even though I'm a warrior,
[11:27] Eve
I was beginning to think I'd
had enough of battle.
[11:31] Eve
But I feel delight once more
as I fight alongside you like this.
[11:52] Soldier
Spare me!
[11:54] Soldier
S-Stay back!
[11:58] Zuan
I'll remember this!

And I shall not let it stand!

In the near future, I'll see
that you meet a cruel end!
[12:05] Touka

[12:07] Touka
Are you stupid?
[12:08] Touka
Did you really think
we'd just acquiesce and let you go?
[12:11] Touka
Be done with him.
[12:13] Eve
If you had only sought to play me,
I might have forgiven you.
[12:18] Eve
But...
[12:19] Eve
But instead, you tried
to go after the girl too!
[12:26] Eve
Farewell.
[12:42] Seras
Looks like it's over.
[12:44] Touka
Seras, could you take Lis
and prepare to depart?
[12:48] Seras
Certainly.
[12:50] Touka
Thanks.
[12:51] Touka
Also, thank you for the backup with a bow.
[12:53] Seras
I'm sorry I acted without orders.
[12:56] Touka
You're already the vice captain
of this mercenary group.
[12:59] Touka
When I'm not able to make the calls,
I leave that to you.
[13:03] Touka
You're good with that, right, Eve? Lis?
[13:05] Eve
Indeed.
[13:05] Lis
Yes.
[13:07] Touka
Good. We didn't let anyone escape.
[13:10] Touka
Freeze.
[13:12] Touka
When inflicted on a living target, it
encases them in ridiculously strong ice.
[13:16] Touka
But this unique skill treats corpses as
objects, which can be crushed into powder.
[13:21] Eve
What are you attempting to do?
[13:23] Touka
With this skill, I can get rid
of the bodies without a trace.
[13:27] Touka
These curse magic users
claim to have slain the Five Dragoons.
[13:30] Touka
So I figure I can pin that
on them forever now.
[13:34] Touka
No one can prove that curses aren't real.
[13:37] Touka
Oh, how proudly you boasted about that.
[13:39] Touka
Now no one will ever be able
to prove you were real either!

W-Well...
[14:18] Lis
I wonder if I'll grow like you have.
[14:22] Seras
Wh-What do you mean?
[14:24] Lis
The proprietress said that
if my breasts didn't grow,
[14:27] Lis
then I wouldn't be treated as
a proper woman in the future.
[14:29] Seras
That's not true.
[14:30] Lis
Huh?
[14:30] Seras
Everything that woman forced
upon you was wrong.
[14:34] Seras
So please forget everything she said.
[14:37] Lis
Forget everything...?
[14:38] Seras
Yes.
[14:39] Seras
From now on, you should only let the words
of those you trust take root in your heart.
[14:44] Lis
Then I'd like to let your
words take root, Miss Seras.
[14:49] Seras
In that case, I'll do my best
to make more time to chat.
[14:53] Lis
It's like I have another big sister now.
[15:03] Seras
I'll take watch, so please get some rest.
[15:07] Touka
No, my eyes are wide awake.
I doubt I could sleep.
[15:10] Seras
Shall I lend you this?
[15:12] Seras
You might slumber peacefully resting here.
[15:16] Touka
You're just as tired too, aren't you?
[15:18] Touka
If you'd like,
[15:20] Touka
I could lend you mine.
[15:26] Seras
Um, did you... mean that as a joke?
[15:31] Seras
Pardon me.
[15:32] Touka
Stuff like this isn't so bad now and again.
[15:35] Seras
I-I'm grateful for your courtesy.
[15:37] Touka
To be honest, I've been
curious for a while now.
[15:40] Touka
Would you mind...
if I touched your elven ears?
[15:42] Seras
Go right ahead if you'd like.
[15:45] Touka
Then...
[15:48] Seras
What do you think?
[15:50] Touka
It's kind of a strange sensation.
[15:53] Seras
S-Sir Tooka, that...!
[15:55] Touka
Ah, sorry.
[15:57] Seras
I-It's fine.
[15:59] Seras
This might be rude to ask,
[16:02] Seras
but do you have any special
feelings toward Eve or Lis?
[16:06] Touka
Why would you think so?
[16:07] Seras
The way you interact with them feels gentle.
[16:11] Seras
Like it does with me.
[16:12] Touka
Well, I guess it's for the same reason.
[16:15] Seras
Does she remind you of your aunt as well?
[16:18] Touka
Eve is probably more like my uncle.
[16:20] Touka
Her gender and her manner
of speech are different,
[16:23] Touka
but she has the same heart.
[16:25] Touka
My aunt and uncle are the only the
reason I want to return to my world.
[16:28] Touka
As for Lis...
[16:30] Touka
she's like me.
[16:31] Seras
Lis is?
[16:32] Touka
We were in similar situations.
[16:34] Touka
We were both abused in terrible environments.
[16:37] Touka
The key difference is our hostility.
[16:39] Touka
I'll eliminate anything that threatens me.
[16:42] Touka
Touka Mimori isn't here to save the world.
[16:44] Touka
Just to exact my own selfish revenge.
[16:46] Touka
I'm not a good person.
[16:48] Touka
If you ever want out of
this quest for vengeance,
[16:50] Touka
you're welcome to leave anytime.
[16:52] Touka
This is purely so I can get even, after all.
[16:55] Seras
I have my own share of thoughts
regarding Alion's goddess,
[16:58] Seras
so I have no intention of leaving.
[16:59] Seras
Especially not after you've given me
the important role of vice captain.
[17:03] Touka
Well then...
[17:04] Touka
To repay you for going along
on this journey with me,
[17:07] Touka
I'll hear any one request you have.
[17:09] Touka
Assuming it's within my power, of course.
[17:11] Seras
Huh?
[17:12] Touka
Go ahead and give it some thought.
[17:14] Seras
I understand.
[17:16] Touka
You should get some rest.
[17:19] Seras
Good night, Sir Tooka.
[17:22] Touka
Yeah.
[17:24] Touka
Sleep.
[17:36] Sogou
Thank you very much.
[17:38] Nyantan
You have good form.
[17:39] Nyantan
You'll probably surpass me in terms
of pure technique at some point.
[17:42] Nyantan
Though, please remember our promise.
[17:45] Sogou
Yes. I promise not to tell
anyone about our training.
[17:49] Nyantan
It would be difficult to get
permission from Vicius if you do.
[17:52] Nyantan
You will become stronger, Ayaka Sogou.
[17:55] Sogou
Um, Nyantan-san,
[17:57] Sogou
why did you agree to help me?
[18:00] Nyantan
You resemble my little sister.
[18:03] Nyantan
It's eat or be eaten in this world.
[18:06] Nyantan
Show any weakness, and you'll fall
prey to intrigue and violence in no time.
[18:11] Nyantan
Remember that.
[18:18] Seras
Some say it puts more
emphasis on appearance,
[18:20] Seras
but it certainly does its job.
[18:21] Touka
Are you sure about this, Lis?
[18:23] Lis
Of course!
[18:25] Lis
Thank you so much, Sir Tooka!
[18:27] Touka
You don't have to force yourself.
[18:29] Lis
That's not the case at all!
[18:30] Lis
I'm happy that you bought this for me!
[18:34] Seras
Sir Tooka.
[18:35] Touka
Hmm?
[18:36] Seras
Isn't it about time we came up with
a name for our mercenary band?
[18:39] Touka
A name?
[18:40] Seras
Yes. We might need to identify ourselves
on the other side of the Land of Monsters.
[18:46] Seras
I have one idea to propose.
[18:48] Seras
What do you think of
"The Lord of the Flies' Warband"?
[18:51] Seras
It's what the army led by the
Lord of the Flies was called.
[18:54] Touka
The Lord of the Flies' Warband?
[18:57] Eve
I think it's a good name.
[18:58] Lis
I-I think so too.
[19:03] Touka
It's not bad.
[19:05] Touka
All right, let's go with that.
[19:15] Touka
So this is the Land of Monsters...
[19:19] Touka
What's that?
[19:20] Eve
A corrupted tree.
[19:21] Eve
They say it used be a sacred tree.
[19:25] Eve
Tooka, pour some magic into my right hand.
[19:28] Touka
Magic?
[19:29] Eve
Yes, please.
[19:34] Eve
This crest was only passed down to our
tribe's leader and their children.
[19:38] Eve
The green dot represents
our present location,
[19:41] Eve
and the red dot represents
the Witch of Taboos, or so I was taught.
[19:45] Eve
So we just need to go in the direction
that connects the two lights.
[20:00] Touka
It's not fading at all.
[20:03] Touka
I'm sure time will ease it.
[20:05] Touka
I'm sure time will fix everything.
[20:08] Touka
No, it won't.
[20:09] Touka
My thirst for vengeance against
that damn goddess isn't receding at all.
[20:13] Touka
So what if I'm a fool?
So what if it's disgraceful?
[20:16] Touka
I may be the foolish and
disgraceful Touka Mimori,
[20:19] Touka
but I will show the Goddess Vicius hell!
[20:22] Touka
The Land of Golden-Eyed Monsters
throws us in great danger,
[20:25] Touka
but at the same time,
it's packed with experience points.
[20:29] Touka
I might never catch up to the
S-Class and A-Class heroes,
[20:32] Touka
but I can close the gap between us.
[20:34] Touka
Which gives me good reason to level up.
[20:37] Touka
I'll kill and kill and kill.
[20:40] Touka
I'll annihilate everything in the
Land of Monsters and turn them into EXP!
[20:44] Vicius
You've all leveled up a surprising amount.
[20:47] Sign
Kirihara's Group
[20:47] Vicius
You have my gratitude for all the
hard work you've put in thus far.
[20:50] Vicius
However, increasing your level only
means increasing your base stats.
[20:50] Sign

[20:56] Vicius
You all still lack skill in combat,
namely technique.

The Takao Sisters
[21:01] Vicius
So, with that in mind, I've summoned famous
figures from every nation to train you.
[21:08] Sign
The Four Saints
[21:08] Sogou
These people...
[21:10] Sogou
They're all incredibly strong.

At this time, we've confirmed the Great Demon
Empire's forces are making a major move.
[21:21] Vicius
Our next battle against the Great
Demon Empire's army will likely
[21:25] Vicius
be a grand battle well
beyond our expectations.
[21:27] Vicius
So,
[21:28] Vicius
the heroes our Alion prides itself on,
meaning you all, will be participating.
[21:43] Vicius
We must have all the heroes
continue to level up
[21:48] Vicius
while they learn actual combat.
[21:53] Vicius
So soon enough,
[21:54] Vicius
I plan to have them head for the
Land of Golden-Eyed Monsters.
[23:31] Eve
This technology is unbelievable.
[23:33] Eve
What is this carved into the white portion?
[23:38] Lis
It's super yummy!
[23:39] Lis
I've never had anything
so delicious in my life!
[23:42] Touka
I see.
[23:42] Lis
It's good, isn't it, little Piggymaru?
[23:45] Eve
I can scarcely believe it.
[23:49] Touka
What's the matter, Seras?
[23:53] Seras
I love it.
[23:54] Seras
Oh, no, it's nothing.
[23:56] Seras
These baked sweets are very delicious.
