[00:06] MIDORI
I-I'm so tired...
[00:09] MIDORI
I've been working too much
overtime this month.
[00:12] MIDORI
I need to get home so I can sleep.
[00:19] MIDORI
I can't keep going...
[00:21] MIDORI
I'm heading straight to bed.
[00:32] MIDORI
H-Huh?
[00:35] MIDORI
M-My body...
[00:38] MIDORI
Am I... dying?
[00:42] MIDORI
I'm Midori Akitsu, and I'm 27 years old.
[00:46] MIDORI
My life was a short one...
[00:52] MIDORI
I can't believe I worked
myself to death. This sucks.
[00:56] MIDORI
No one's here for my final moments.
[00:59] MIDORI
I didn't even get to say goodbye to my parents.
[01:03] MIDORI
I don't want to die like this!
[01:07] GOD
Would you like me to intervene?
[01:09] MIDORI
Huh?
[01:12] GOD
Your lifespan is fixed,
so that can't be changed,
[01:16] GOD
but if you help me, I'll change how you die.
[01:20] MIDORI
How I die?
[01:22] MIDORI
Wait, are you... God?
[01:26] GOD
Yes.
[01:27] GOD
Humans are currently persecuting other
species in a world known as Asdyllon.
[01:35] GOD
I'd like to reincarnate you there
[01:37] GOD
so you can decide if the humans
should be wiped out.
[01:41] MIDORI
Wait, what?!
[01:43] MIDORI
I don't think I can help you
with something like that...
[01:45] GOD
In exchange, I'll grant you a special power.
[01:49] MIDORI
A special power?
[01:50] GOD
Is there anything you want,
like teleportation or killer abilities?
[01:57] MIDORI
Fluff...
[01:59] GOD
Huh?
[01:59] MIDORI
I wanna pet fluffy things!
[02:01] GOD
Wh-What?
[02:04] MIDORI
I've been dying to pet my
parents' kitty foreeeeever!
[02:12] MIDORI
I want the healing power of stroking
that silky fur all day long!
[02:21] MIDORI
Petting fluffy animals is the only
thing that soothes my exhausted heart!
[02:28] GOD
I'm not sure I understand,
but that'll be your special power.
[02:33] MIDORI
Huh?
[02:34] GOD
I'll make it so creatures
other than humans like you.
[02:37] MIDORI
What? H-Hang on!
[02:39] GOD
Well, thanks for helping out!
[02:41] MIDORI
W-Wait! I haven't agreed to anything yet!
[02:46] MIDORI
Hey, wait!
[03:09] RALF
Oh, the baby's awake!
[03:12] NEEMA
What in the world happened?
[03:12] KARNA
Father, look!
[03:14] DAYLAND
Shh. The naming will be over soon.
[03:15] NEEMA
I can't speak, and I can't move my body...
[03:19] CERULIA
Her name will be Nefertima.
[03:21] CERULIA
Nefertima Osphe.
[03:29] RALF
Nefertima...
[03:30] KARNA
I'll call her Neema!
[03:33] DAYLAND
There, there. Are you hungry?
[03:37] RALF
She's so cute!
[03:39] CERULIA
Nice to meet you, Neema.
[03:39] NEEMA
I... really...
[03:44] NEEMA
I've really been reincarnated?!

Fluffy Paradise
[05:16] SIGN
Episode 1 Nobody Told Me This Would Happen!
[05:16] NEEMA
Larshia, the largest of Asdyllon's three
continents, is home to the Kingdom of Gaché.
[05:23] NEEMA
I was reincarnated there as Nefertima,
third born to the royal ducal family of Osphe.
[05:31] NEEMA
As for my family in this world...
[05:37] RALF
Neema, congratulations on turning three.
[05:40] NEEMA
There's my gentlemanly older brother, Ralf.
[05:43] KARNA
Here's a spell to celebrate!
[05:45] KARNA
Isn't it pretty, like fireworks?
[05:47] NEEMA
My energetic older sister, Karna.
[05:49] NEEMA
My beautiful mother and kind father...
[05:52] SIGN
Lovey
[05:53] NEEMA
Although Papa can be a bit disappointing.
[05:56] NEEMA
And finally...
[06:00] DAYLAND
Neema!
[06:03] NEEMA
Dee!
[06:05] NEEMA
There's my beloved dog, Dee,
who's always there to save me.
[06:10] NEEMA
I eat, sleep, get coddled by my family,
and pet fluffy animals.
[06:14] NEEMA
My life is the best!
[06:16] CERULIA
My, my. Neema is always
surrounded by animals.
[06:21] NEEMA
Thank you, God!
[06:25] BOTH
Neema!
[06:28] NEEMA
But maybe I shouldn't pet
the animals too much.
[06:38] NEEMA
The royal palace?
[06:40] CERULIA
Yes. I have to go there for work,
but I don't know what to do.
[06:45] CERULIA
Your father is working,
and Ralf and Karna are at the academy.
[06:51] CERULIA
Animals aren't allowed at the royal
palace, so I can't take Dee.
[06:56] CERULIA
Can you be a good girl for me, Neema?
[06:59] NEEMA
Yeah!
[07:00] NEEMA
All right! I get to leave the house!
[07:12] NEEMA
Everyone's so cheerful and lively,
[07:16] NEEMA
but they all seem so peaceful.
[07:20] NEEMA
They don't look like people
who'd persecute others.
[07:28] CERULIA
You're sure you'll be okay all by yourself?
[07:30] NEEMA
Yeah!
[07:32] CERULIA
All right, then.
[07:38] CERULIA
I put a protective spell on you.
[07:41] CERULIA
Be a good girl and wait for me, okay?
[07:50] NEEMA
I'm bored.
[08:06] NEEMA
Wait! Wait for me!
[08:17] NEEMA
Oh, wow! The royal palace rules.
[08:20] NEEMA
It's a fluffy paradise!
[08:27] NEEMA
Huh? What?
[08:47] NEEMA
Heck yes! A rare fluff!
[08:51] NEEMA
I-I want to touch it. Is it okay to pet it?
[09:00] NEEMA
Hey, that tickles!
[09:03] NEEMA
Take this! Squeezed you back!
[09:07] NEEMA
So fluffy!
[09:09] NEEMA
How is it so silky and fluffy?
[09:12] NEEMA
This fluff must be super rare!
[09:23] NEEMA
Huh? Can I ride on your back?
[09:30] NEEMA
How pretty!
[09:33] WILHELT
What's that on your back, Lars?
[09:39] WILHELT
Lars may be well-behaved,
but he's still a beast.
[09:41] WILHELT
Get down. It's dangerous.
[09:43] NEEMA
Where'd this beautiful boy come from?
[09:50] WILHELT
Come on, now.
[09:52] NEEMA
No! Put me down!
[09:56] WILHELT
How's this, then?
[10:01] NEEMA
Let go!
[10:02] NEEMA
What is this brute doing?!
[10:09] NEEMA
Thank you!
[10:12] WILHELT
It's rare for Lars to take to
anyone other than me.
[10:15] WILHELT
Hey, where are your parents?
[10:17] WILHELT
What's a kid doing out here?
[10:19] NEEMA
Mom is working.
[10:22] WILHELT
What's your name?
[10:27] NEEMA
Nefertima Osphe. I'm three years old.
[10:31] WILHELT
You're from the Osphe family, huh?
[10:35] WILHELT
Come with me.
[10:45] WILHELT
Pardon me.
[10:50] DAYLAND
Neema?
[10:51] NEEMA
Dad!
[10:52] DAYLAND
Why are you here?
[10:57] DAYLAND
That's the prince's...
[10:58] WILHELT
She seemed lost, Duke Osphe,
so I brought her to you.
[11:02] NEEMA
Not lost!
[11:04] WILHELT
I rescued her while she was
playing with Lars in the yard.
[11:07] BOTH
What?
[11:09] DAYLAND
Neema, tell me what happened.
[11:12] NEEMA
I came here with Mom.
[11:14] NEEMA
I was lonely by myself,
and then Lars played with me!
[11:19] DAYLAND
Neema...
[11:20] DAYLAND
I see. You were lonely, were you?
[11:23] DAYLAND
I'm so, so sorry.
[11:24] NEEMA
Owie, ow...
[11:25] DAYLAND
Your Highness, thank you
for bringing Neema to me.
[11:32] NEEMA
"Y-Your Highness"?
[11:33] NEEMA
You're telling me this brute is a prince?!
[11:39] DAYLAND
Come, now, Neema. Thank the prince.
[11:45] NEEMA
Th-Thank you...
[11:53] WILHELT
So polite for such a little girl.
[11:55] NEEMA
S-Stop it!
[11:57] GAULDI
Is that your youngest daughter?
[11:59] DAYLAND
Yes.
[12:01] NEEMA
Wait, does that mean this man is...
[12:04] NEEMA
Okay, I should put on a show for him.
[12:08] NEEMA
I'm Nefertima Osphe.
[12:10] NEEMA
I just turned three.
[12:13] GAULDI
My, my. What a good girl.
[12:17] GAULDI
Do you like Lars?
[12:19] NEEMA
We're friends!
[12:21] GAULDI
I am Gauldi Russ Gaché.
[12:24] GAULDI
I'm the king of this nation.
[12:26] GAULDI
You're welcome to visit again.
[12:28] NEEMA
Thanks, Mister King!
[12:31] CERULIA
What's the meaning of this?
[12:34] CERULIA
I can't believe you ran off on your own.
[12:36] CERULIA
Do you have any idea how worried I was?
[12:39] NEEMA
I'm sowwie.
[12:41] CERULIA
Not only that, but you were
riding the sky tiger?
[12:43] NEEMA
Sky tiger?
[12:45] DAYLAND
She's talking about Lars.
[12:48] NEEMA
Me and Lars are friends! He protected me!
[12:53] NEEMA
Can I visit him again?
[12:54] NEEMA
The king invited me back.
[12:57] CERULIA
You're hopeless... But very well.
[13:00] CERULIA
Just promise me this.
[13:03] NEEMA
Promise?
[13:05] CERULIA
You mustn't visit the sky tiger
when anyone's watching.
[13:08] CERULIA
He's a holy beast who uses
elemental power. He's special.
[13:13] NEEMA
Elemental power?
[13:15] CERULIA
That's right.
[13:16] CERULIA
Our spells draw on our mana,
[13:20] CERULIA
but spirits use the divine power
that fills our world.
[13:25] CERULIA
Using that energy is known as elementalism.
[13:28] CERULIA
Typically, holy beasts only grow attached
to the master with whom they bond.
[13:35] NEEMA
But Lars is my friend.
[13:38] NEEMA
I wanna see him and pet him...
[13:41] CERULIA
I know. But that's why you have to promise
[13:45] CERULIA
not to go see him while
others are around. Okay?
[13:49] NEEMA
Okay!
[13:50] CERULIA
Good.
[13:52] NEEMA
Dee! Let's play!
[13:55] CERULIA
I know animals are fond of her, but I
can't believe she befriended a sky tiger.
[14:01] DAYLAND
Perhaps she has some kind of special power.
[14:17] NEEMA
Wow!
[14:19] NEEMA
What a splendid building.
[14:21] NEEMA
And so many people!
[14:24] NEEMA
I've never been anywhere other
than home and the castle!
[14:28] NEEMA
I'm here today to observe my
brother and sister at school.
[14:34] NEEMA
I wonder if there are any rare animals here!
[14:34] CERULIA
Neema? Neema.
[14:37] CERULIA
Don't do what you did the other day.
[14:39] CERULIA
Here. Take my hand.
[14:41] NEEMA
Okay!
[14:45] STUDENT
Welcome, Duke Osphe. Have a seat.
[14:49] STUDENT
Would you like some tea?
[14:52] NEEMA
This is part of our school visit?
[14:54] NEEMA
How refined!
[15:00] NEEMA
It's like we're not at school!
[15:02] DAYLAND
It's all the product of
several teachers' magic.
[15:06] DAYLAND
See that?
[15:08] DAYLAND
They command those soldiers
and battle one another.
[15:11] NEEMA
Wow.
[15:12] NEEMA
Is it like chess?
[15:14] TEACHER 1
Next group, step forward.
[15:17] TEACHER 1
Ralfreed Osphe.
[15:18] NEEMA
It's my brother!
[15:20] NEEMA
He looks tough. Will Ralf be okay?
[15:24] CERULIA
We'll see.
[15:26] TEACHER 1
Let the battle begin!
[15:28] NEEMA
G-Good luck, Ralf!
[15:30] RALF
Infantry, advance!
[15:33] OPPONENT
Cavalry, engage them!
[15:46] RALF
This ends here!
[15:52] TEACHER 1
The winner is Ralfreed Osphe!
[15:55] NEEMA
Wow, Ralf! You're so strong!
[15:59] RALF
Thank you. It's because
I had you supporting me.
[16:05] RALF
Neema?
[16:08] NEEMA
Gotta pee.
[16:14] NEEMA
I feel better!
[16:16] TRISTAN
Try not to lose to me.
[16:17] NEEMA
Ralf!
[16:19] TRISTAN
Is this your sister?
[16:21] RALF
Now that she's back, I should go.
[16:23] TRISTAN
Let the servants look after her.
[16:27] NEEMA
What's this jerk's problem?
[16:29] NEEMA
Is he my brother's friend?

RAGE
[16:46] NEEMA
He sneered at me!
[16:50] NEEMA
They may be school friends,
[16:51] NEEMA
but how dare he speak that way to the ducal
family at the head of the line for the throne?!
[16:57] NEEMA
Better than being a dummy
who doesn't know his place!
[17:02] NEEMA
O-Oops. I got carried away.
[17:06] TRISTAN
You little brat!
[17:08] RALF
Tristan!
[17:09] WILHELT
What are you doing?
[17:11] TRISTAN
Y-Your Highness?!
[17:15] WILHELT
Raise your heads. More importantly,
[17:18] WILHELT
I thought I saw Tristan Disdall
raise a hand against a child.
[17:23] TRISTAN
I-I would never!
[17:25] WILHELT
Then why is Nefertima hiding?
[17:29] NEEMA
Because I don't want to get
caught by Prince Brute.
[17:33] RALF
Your Highness, you know Neema?
[17:36] WILHELT
Yes. I helped her previously when
she was lost at the palace.
[17:41] NEEMA
I wasn't lost!
[17:43] WILHELT
Oh? Ever the amusing girl.
[17:46] WILHELT
Would you like to become my plaything?
[17:49] NEEMA
No!
[17:50] WILHELT
You could come and go from
the palace whenever you want.
[17:54] NEEMA
Wh-Whenever I want?
[17:58] SIGN
Fluffy Paradise!
[18:02] TRISTAN
F-Forgive me, but surely you shouldn't
give a child free rein of the palace.
[18:07] WILHELT
My father likes her. It won't be an issue.
[18:10] NEEMA
Mister King!
[18:12] WILHELT
You seem to like my father.
[18:15] WILHELT
Why do you run from me?
[18:17] NEEMA
Because you're a brute.
[18:19] WILHELT
Oh?
[18:20] WILHELT
Are you that desperate for my attention?
[18:24] RALF
Y-Your Highness!
[18:26] RALF
I'm sorry, but my sister is presenting soon.
[18:30] NEEMA
Nice save, Ralf!
[18:31] WILHELT
I see. Then I'll join you.
[18:35] RALF
Please give Neema to me.
I couldn't disrespect you any further.
[18:38] WILHELT
It's fine.
[18:39] WILHELT
Tristan.
[18:41] WILHELT
Nefertima is under my protection.
[18:43] WILHELT
Don't you dare do anything like that again.
[18:48] TRISTAN
Yes, Your Highness! I'll be careful!
[18:51] TRISTAN
Farewell!
[18:56] NEEMA
Huh?
[18:57] WILHELT
I've been wondering... Are your eyes black?
[19:02] NEEMA
Huh?
[19:02] NEEMA
Oh, no! I let him get too close.
[19:05] NEEMA
People in this world aren't supposed
to have black eyes, right?
[19:08] NEEMA
I need to fool him somehow.
[19:10] NEEMA
Th-They're blue.
[19:14] NEEMA
He's suspicious!
[19:16] NEEMA
Uh, um, what else can we talk about?
[19:18] WILHELT
Nefertima, are you—
[19:20] NEEMA
Call me Neema!
[19:21] WILHELT
Neema?
[19:24] NEEMA
Now that I think about it, shouldn't
Nefertima be shortened to Nefer or Ferti?
[19:28] NEEMA
Why'd they have to cut out the middle?
[19:33] WILHELT
Then call me Will.
[19:35] NEEMA
W-Wiw...
[19:37] WILHELT
"Wiw" is fine.
[19:44] BOTH
Your Highness!
[19:46] WILHELT
Be at ease. Today I'm here
as a student of the academy.
[19:50] WILHELT
And you are not my subjects, but graduates
who can provide me with guidance.
[19:54] DAYLAND
Of course.
[19:57] NEEMA
It's Karna!
[19:59] NEEMA
There's writing on the ground.
[20:01] WILHELT
Her test involves using magic to defeat
a monster summoned by a magic circle.
[20:06] NEEMA
Oh...
[20:17] TEACHER 1
What is that?
[20:23] BOTH
Karna!
[20:25] NEEMA
Is that a monster?
[20:26] WILHELT
No.
[20:27] WILHELT
It's a fire dragon... A mighty holy beast.
[20:30] NEEMA
A holy beast? That's the same kind
of special creature as Lars!
[20:35] TEACHER 1
Impossible! Why was a fire dragon summoned?
[20:38] TEACHER 2
Protect the students!
[20:39] WILHELT
Is Karnadia's element fire?
[20:42] DAYLAND
Her skill with fire is high,
but her skill with water is low.
[20:47] WILHELT
She's at a disadvantage.
[20:50] NEEMA
Run, Karna!
[20:56] NEEMA
She's smiling? She intends to fight it!
[21:00] NEEMA
Mama, too?
[21:01] NEEMA
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
This is obviously reckless!
[21:08] WILHELT
Neema!
[21:13] DAYLAND
Neema!
[21:16] NEEMA
I jumped without thinking!
[21:19] NEEMA
I'm falling!
[21:29] NEEMA
Something saved me just now, didn't it?
[21:34] NEEMA
Thank you!
[21:36] TEACHER 3
Water mages, advance!
[21:38] NEEMA
This is no time to be spacing out!
[21:42] NEEMA
Stop!

Don't hurt him!

Okay, this should—

This is no place for children.

He talks?
[00:17] Neema
Must be one of those traditional
long-lived dragons!
[00:19] Neema
Maybe I can reason with him!
[00:22] Neema
You can't hurt them either,
Mister Fire Dwagon!
[00:24] Sol
They forcibly summon me here,
[00:26] Sol
then approach me with unjust malice.
[00:28] Sol
I cannot brook this.
[00:30] Neema
But it hurts real bad when you fight.
[00:32] Neema
Even with your tough scales,
if you're doused with powerful water magic...
[00:36] Neema
Wait, scales? I wonder what they feel like...
[00:40] Neema
I wanna give you pats.

You wish to touch me?

Oh, yeah! I wanna give you pats!

You do not fear me?

Nuh-uh!

What a strange child.

No! Don't go bye-bye!
[03:10] Sol
Then I will grant you this.
[03:17] Neema
What is it?
[03:19] Sol
An orb. It connects us.
[03:23] Sol
Keep it with you at all times.
[03:26] Sol
If you so desire, it shall change form.
[03:34] Neema
How am I going to carry
this around all the time?
[03:38] Neema
Hmm...
[03:40] Neema
I know!
[03:48] Neema
There! That's nice!
[03:51] Sol
You're rather peculiar.
[03:55] Sol
That orb connects the two of us mentally.
[04:01] Sol
You may use my magic through it,
[04:05] Sol
so it will help when you're in danger.
[04:08] Neema
Thank you!
[04:10] Neema
What's your name, Mister Fire Dwagon?
[04:13] Sol
You may call me Sol.
[04:16] Neema
I'm Neema! And...
[04:18] Neema
It's nice to meet you, Sol!
[04:22] Sol
Farewell.
[04:34] Dayland
Neema!
[04:35] Karna
Are you hurt?!
[04:38] Neema
Nope! I'm fine!
[04:39] Neema
C-Can't bweathe...
[04:41] Karna
Oh, I was so worried!
[04:44] Karna
Neema!
[04:45] Wilhelt
Honestly, you're so...
[04:48] Neema
This again?!
[04:50] Wilhelt
Well, I'm glad you're safe.
[04:53] Neema
Maybe the Brute Prince was worried
about me in his own weird way.
[04:57] Wilhelt
Duke Osphe, have the court mages
look into this matter.
[05:02] Dayland
Yes, Your Highness.
[05:03] Wilhelt
And...
[05:05] Wilhelt
I'm sure the palace will want her.
[05:07] Wilhelt
I trust you to find a solution.
[05:11] Dayland
To even think of those power-hungry fiends
[05:13] Dayland
setting their greedy eyes
on my precious Neema...
[05:16] Dayland
Hmm, maybe I'll just kill them all.
[05:19] Neema
Is it just me...
or has this turned into a huge ordeal?
[05:37] Imperial Guard
Presenting the prime minister,
Duke Dayland Osphe!
[05:40] Imperial Guard
And the head of the Royal Magic Research
Center's Engineering Department,
[05:44] Imperial Guard
Duchess Cerulia Osphe!
[05:46] Imperial Guard
They have arrived along with their
youngest daughter, Lady Nefertima!
[05:54] Neema
There are so many important-looking people!
[05:57] Gauldi
I'm sorry for summoning you like this.
[06:00] Gauldi
I'd like to discuss the events at the academy
concerning the fire dragon.
[06:04] Gauldi
I was informed that Nefertima
formed a pact with the beast.
[06:08] Gauldi
Is this true?
[06:09] Neema
I guess we're not beating around the bush!
[06:14] Dayland
It is not a formal pact.
[06:16] Gauldi
But your daughter is able to use the
fire dragon's powers, is she not?
[06:21] Dayland
Yes, I'm sure that he will aid her
if she so desires it.
[06:24] Dayland
But she did not receive
the holy beast's blessing.
[06:28] Neema
The holy beast's blessing? What's that?
[06:31] Gauldi
So she will not use the fire dragon's
powers to threaten our kingdom?
[06:36] Dayland
She will not. I, Dayland Osphe,
swear it upon my name.
[06:41] Neema
A True Name Vow?!
[06:43] Neema
If he breaks that, he'll die.
[06:45] Neema
It's the strongest oath you can swear here.
[06:47] Gauldi
I believe you. Now, have we figured out
the cause of what happened?
[06:51] Salzar
Allow me to explain.
[06:53] Sign
Royal Magical Research Center
Director Salzar
[06:54] Salzar
There are no doubts
about the summoning circle used.
[06:58] Salzar
There were protections in place in case
the spellcaster said the wrong incantation.
[07:02] Salzar
Therefore, the dragon would not
have appeared with an incorrect chant.
[07:06] Gauldi
So the spellcaster was not at fault.
[07:09] Salzar
Indeed.
[07:10] Gauldi
Then how do you explain
the dragon's appearance?
[07:14] Salzar
Perhaps it was a supernatural force...
[07:16] Salzar
Perhaps it was the will of God.
[07:19] All
God?!
[07:21] Neema
That guy again*?!
[07:23] Neema
He totally would!
[07:23] Neema
Probably to make me interact with the*
beings of this world or something!
[07:28] Dayland
I see...
[07:29] Gauldi
What say you, High Priest?
[07:32] High Priest
Sire.
[07:34] High Priest
I believe it was the will
of the God of Divine Creation.
[07:34] Sign
Church of Divine Creation
Gaché Kingdom's High Priest
[07:39] High Priest
Holy beasts are present in our land
[07:41] High Priest
because he expects great
things of you, Your Majesty.
[07:45] High Priest
It is his hope you will usher in
an era of tranquility
[07:48] High Priest
in which we humans rule supreme.
[07:52] Neema
Aha... Are these guys part of what
God was talking about?
[07:57] Neema
Is this the typical pattern where
they brainwash people
[08:00] Neema
with a "divine" message
while butting into politics?
[08:04] Neema
Still, I shouldn't be so quick to judge.
[08:07] Neema
I'm sure I'll have until I die to decide.
[08:11] Neema
And my top priority is wellness
fueled by all the fluffy things!
[08:17] Wilhelt
Bored already?
[08:19] Neema
Was he watching me this whole time?
[08:21] Neema
And he has the nerve to mock me?!
Curse you, Brute Prince!
[08:25] Wilhelt
If you're bored, would you like
to go play with Lars?
[08:28] Gauldi
Yes, this must be a rather difficult
conversation for Nefertima to follow.
[08:32] Gauldi
Go ahead and play.
[08:34] Neema
Yay!
[08:35] Wilhelt
Lars.
[08:40] Neema
Now it's time to floof
and pat Lars all I want!
[08:49] Neema
So... So cute!
[08:51] Neema
Lars!
[09:00] Neema
We can play here?
[09:03] Neema
Are these slabs of meat for Lars?
[09:13] Neema
Lars, say, "Aah..."
[09:23] Neema
He totally just looks like
any ol' kitty right now!
[09:26] Senior Statesman 1
Did she just feed it barehanded?!
[09:29] Neema
Oh?
[09:30] Maid
Lady Nefertima, here you go.
[09:33] Neema
Thanks!
[09:36] Maid
I-I'm not worthy, my lady!
[09:40] Neema
I wonder what that was about.
[09:42] Neema
Well, whatever.
[09:44] Neema
I'm gonna enjoy all the floofing
time I can right now!
[09:49] Neema
That tickles!
[10:03] Dayland
Oh, Neema... How can you be
so cute when you snooze?
[10:10] Dayland
And yet...
[10:12] Senior Statesman 2
She's fast asleep next to a sky tiger!
[10:13] Senior Statesman 3
She really is no ordinary girl!
[10:15] Dayland
Thank goodness Lars helped
her fall fast asleep.
[10:18] Noble 1
The fire dragon will bring
great fortune to our land!
[10:21] Senior Statesman 1
Yes. Of course it'll help the people,
[10:23] Senior Statesman 1
but also prove a great boon in battle.
[10:25] Senior Statesman 2
We should definitely have
her form a formal pact.
[10:29] Senior Statesman 3
But then we'd have to keep
Lady Nefertima under our supervision.
[10:34] Dayland
I hope she never hears
such selfish blathering.
[10:39] Dayland
Now then... How are we going
to get out of this situation?
[10:42] Olive
Is Neema all right?
[10:44] Sign
Minister of Internal Affairs
Olive Wise
[10:44] Olive
Has not having magical powers
affected her physically?
[10:47] Dayland
Not yet.
[10:49] Olive
I wonder if the sky tiger's attachment to her
is also because of the dragon.
[10:54] Gouche
Perhaps we should assign Neema
a personal guard.
[10:57] Sign
Head of the Royal Knighthood and Royal Guard
General Gouche Zelnan
[10:57] Gouche
There's a chance her life may be in danger.
[11:00] Gouche
Let me know if I may be of assistance.
[11:03] Dayland
A most reassuring offer.
There's just so much we don't know yet.
[11:07] Dayland
I'd be much obliged for your help, General.
[11:11] Dayland
That's the descendants of the founding heroes for you.
[11:13] High Priest
Duke Osphe.
[11:15] High Priest
I would be honored if you let the Church
[11:17] High Priest
look after your precious daughter...
[11:20] High Priest
We have experience educating
holy maidens, after all.
[11:26] Dayland
Oh, no. That wouldn't suit our Neema...
[11:29] Dayland
Or rather,
[11:30] Dayland
the Church of Divine Creation's
so-called "education" is just indoctrination.
[11:35] Dayland
What gives you the right to call girls
forced into playing puppets "holy maidens"?
[11:39] High Priest
If you leave Lady Nefertima in our hands,
[11:42] High Priest
I promise you she will grow
into a fine holy maiden.
[11:48] Dayland
I do beg your pardon,
[11:49] Dayland
but she's so loved by all creatures
because she is innocent and carefree.
[11:55] Dayland
If we give her to you
and she becomes no more than a doll,
[11:59] Dayland
I highly doubt the fire dragon and
His Highness's holy beast would approve.
[12:04] High Priest
A doll...? I won't stand for such insult.
[12:10] High Priest
A-And I beg your pardon, but is Lady
Nefertima even your daughter?
[12:15] Dayland
Why— And what do you mean by that?
[12:18] High Priest
Oh, nothing.
I just thought I'd heard otherwise.
[12:23] High Priest
Still, I must say...
[12:26] High Priest
She doesn't bear much of a resemblance
to your other two children.
[12:31] Cerulia
Gracious.
[12:32] Cerulia
My husband and I have exchanged
the True Name Vow.
[12:36] Cerulia
If broken, we'd face divine wrath
[12:39] Cerulia
and bear the mark of the fallen our foreheads.
[12:41] Cerulia
Good sir, do you see it on mine?
[12:44] High Priest
Well, it's well known how much
the duke fancies you, my lady...
[12:48] High Priest
But perhaps only Duke Osphe
took the True Name Vow.
[12:52] Cerulia
His Majesty was present when
we exchanged our vows.
[12:56] Cerulia
You'd cast doubt upon the king, too?
[13:01] Noble
But truly, if we are to think
of Lady Nefertima's future,
[13:05] Noble
I agree with the High Priest.
[13:06] Dayland
In the end,
[13:07] Dayland
with the help of my wife, her mentor, Salzar,
and her fellow mentee, the king,
[13:12] Dayland
we were able to shut down
those who opposed us.
[13:31] Neema
Lars?
[13:33] Dayland
The meeting is over.
[13:35] Neema
Papa, Mama...
[13:37] Dayland
No one's in trouble.
[13:39] Neema
Really? So no one's gonna yell at me?
Nothing scawy will happen?
[13:42] Cerulia
That's right. Because your power
appears to be the will of God.
[13:47] Gauldi
Nefertima.
[13:49] Neema
Mister King!
[13:51] Gauldi
From now on, you may go anywhere
you'd like in the palace,
[13:54] Gauldi
though you'll need supervision
in certain areas.
[13:57] Neema
Really?!
[13:58] Gauldi
Yes. You like animals, don't you?
[14:01] Neema
Yes!
[14:02] Wilhelt
There are plenty of animals
you're bound to like in the palace.
[14:06] Neema
Huh?
[14:08] Wilhelt
For example...
[14:14] Wilhelt
Why don't you calm down a bit?
[14:16] Neema
Huh?! B-But...
[14:20] Wilhelt
They're here. You may enter.
[14:23] Gwynn
Gwynn Fields of the second
brigade of the royal guard...
[14:28] Gwynn
At your service.
[14:31] Neema
Wow, he's so pretty!
[14:34] Wilhelt
At ease. This is Duke Osphe's
daughter, Nefertima.
[14:39] Gwynn
Pleased to meet you, my lady.
[14:43] Neema
I'm Dayland Osphe's second daughter, Nefertima.
[14:47] Neema
I saw you before in the throne room!
[14:51] Wilhelt
Neema, if anything ever happens
in the palace, you can rely on Gwynn.
[14:56] Neema
Okay!
[14:56] Neema
Nice to meet you, Gwynn!
[14:59] Gwynn
The pleasure is all mine.
[15:01] Wilhelt
I have a favor to ask today.
[15:04] Wilhelt
Take Neema to the dragon stables.
[15:07] Gwynn
Par... don?
[15:15] Gwynn
Why must I do this?
[15:17] Gwynn
And why take her to the stables where he is?
[15:21] Neema
You're thinking out loud there, dude.
[15:24] Neema
Though I'm sure the last thing
a brigade leader wants to do is babysit.
[15:29] Neema
But more importantly,
[15:30] Neema
today, I want to give some actual fantasy
world dragons all of the head pats!
[15:34] Neema
And for that, I need you
to tag along with me...
[15:38] Dan
Oh, there you are.
[15:41] Dan
His Highness filled me in.
[15:43] Dan
Is this the little lady who wants
to see the stables?
[15:50] Neema
He actually stooped down to make
eye contact with a child.
[15:52] Neema
That's really rare in this world.
He must be a nice guy!
[15:55] Neema
I'm Dayland Osphe's second daughter, Nefertima.
[15:59] Dan
Look at you! So prim at your age.
[16:03] Dan
Nice to meet ya! I'm the captain
of the dragon knights, Dan Yates!
[16:06] Dan
Good to have you.
[16:07] Gwynn
My, I see you never change.
[16:10] Dan
Huh?
[16:11] Gwynn
At the palace,
[16:12] Gwynn
you could run into a superior anytime.
[16:14] Gwynn
You should dress accordingly.
[16:16] Dan
When you're tending to dragons,
you need to prioritize mobility.
[16:23] Neema
Wh-What the...?
[16:25] Squad Member 1
There they go again.
[16:27] Squad Member 2
They were in the same class
at the royal academy.
[16:31] Squad Member 3
They've apparently been competing
with each other ever since.
[16:34] Gwynn
You sure that's not just
an excuse to play around?
[16:37] Dan
Playing around with dragons is my job.
[16:39] Dan
You can't even ride them
if they don't like you.
[16:41] Dan
You know that!
[16:43] Gwynn
Well, if you're working,
then clean up properly.
[16:46] Gwynn
It always reeks of animal stench here.
[16:48] Dan
What'd you say?
[16:49] Neema
Oh, come on! What am I even here for?!
[16:53] Neema
Hey, hey! Can I see the dwagons now?
[16:57] Dan
Oh, yes. Sorry about that. Right this way.
[17:02] Dan
You can only look though, okay?
[17:03] Dan
Stick your hand out and they'll eat ya.
[17:05] Neema
Okay!
[17:22] Dan
The smaller flying dragons are lindblooms.
[17:24] Dan
And those without wings are a subspecies
of earth dragon called lindrakes.
[17:29] Dan
We're currently in the grasslands,
[17:31] Dan
but we also have desert,
forest, and lake areas.
[17:34] Neema
Wow! This place is so big!
[17:36] Dan
It's all maintained with magic,
[17:38] Dan
so the deserts are actually hot,
and the forests are cool.
[17:41] Neema
They don't run away?
[17:43] Dan
They're bound by their true names,
so there's no need to worry.
[17:48] Neema
They're so cute.
[17:52] Dan
Right?
[17:54] Neema
Dan must really love dragons.
[17:59] Neema
I wanna give them head pats...
[18:01] Neema
But he'll probably say no if I ask.
[18:04] Neema
I wonder how I can touch them...
[18:07] Neema
Mmgh...
[18:23] Dan
This way!
[18:32] Dan
No! They're gonna get her!
[18:35] Dan
Lady Nefertima!
[18:39] Neema
Your name is Ghizel?
[18:42] Neema
My name is Neema.
[18:45] Neema
Yup. I have Sol's orb.
[18:48] Neema
Ghizel, can I give you head pats?
[18:55] Neema
Mister Dan, can I play with them?
[18:59] Dan
S-Sure...
[19:00] Neema
Yay!
[19:09] Neema
Okay!
[19:14] Neema
See you later!
[19:19] Neema
Wow! This feels great!
[19:23] Ghizel
Human child.
[19:25] Ghizel
I sense the fire dragon's presence in you,
[19:28] Ghizel
yet you have no pact with him, do you?
[19:30] Neema
Nuh-uh. Guess not.
[19:32] Neema
I heard Sol's voice from the orb earlier.
[19:35] Neema
He said that if I have the orb,
I can talk to all the dragons.
[19:39] Ghizel
Yes. Our pack shall welcome
you as a dragon maiden.
[19:57] Lindrake child 1
Yummy!
[19:59] Neema
H-Hey!
[20:01] Neema
Come back here!
[20:03] Lindrake child 2
Wait, are we playing tag?
[20:05] Lindrake child 3
I wanna play, too!
[20:15] Neema
This feels so nice.
[20:22] Neema
Take that!
[20:32] Neema
Counterattack!
[20:40] Dan
The one whose name Lady Nefertima guessed,
[20:42] Dan
Ghizel, is that pack's leader.
[20:44] Dan
He's extremely proud and won't
let anyone onto his back.
[20:48] Dan
So what the heck's going on? He was
so calm around Lady Nefertima.
[20:52] Dan
Man, I'm never gonna get over this!
[20:54] Gwynn
You heard about the fire dragon, didn't you?
[20:57] Dan
Yeah.
[20:58] Dan
He was summoned during
an exam at the academy, right?
[21:01] Dan
I could see him flying back to
the northern mountains from here.
[21:05] Dan
I wish we could've been there, though!
[21:08] Dan
I heard there was some girl who formed
a pact with the fire dragon, too...
[21:11] Dan
Wait. Didn't Lady Nefertima
mention something about an orb?
[21:17] Dan
It's a legendary magical item that allows
you to communicate with dragons.
[21:20] Dan
If she's in possession of an artifact
that only primordial dragons can create...
[21:25] Gwynn
Lady Nefertima is now said to be
the fire dragon's master.
[21:29] Dan
I knew it!
[21:31] Gwynn
Except they haven't formed a formal pact.
[21:35] Dan
Still, a little girl like her?
I can't believe it.
[21:38] Gwynn
I wasn't convinced myself, but...
[21:41] Neema
I'm back!
[21:45] Gwynn
Why is Sir Lars here?!
[21:49] Neema
He came to pick me up!
[21:51] Dan
She commands His Highness's holy beast
as well as the lindblooms and lindrakes...
[21:56] Dan
Just who is this little girl?
[21:59] Neema
I got to give lots of head pats
and floofings! It was so much fun!

She's so ordinary.

I can walk all by myself!

Well, you're gonna wander off!
[00:50] Neema
Nuh-uh!
[00:52] Dan
Yes, you will.
[00:52] Les
She hardly seems as special as Dan described.
[00:53] Neema
Nuh-uh!
[00:54] Dan
Come on, now.
[00:55] Neema
I won't!
[00:59] (Flashback) Dan
Can you believe it? A dragon...
[01:02] (Flashback) Dan
Ghizel, their leader, no less,
let her ride on his back.
[01:06] (Flashback) Dan
He doesn't even let me do that.
[01:09] Les
Dan loves dragons so much that he left
the Beast Knights for the Dragon Knights
[01:14] Les
and even became their captain.
Yet he's jealous of her?
[01:20] Les
I see we have a little charmer on our hands.

Very well. I shall accept this challenge.

[03:41] Neema
Yeah, he's definitely giving
off that boss aura.
[03:45] Neema
I'm Neema! It's a pweasure
to meet you, Uwaz!
[03:50] Neema
Wh-What was that just now?
[03:52] Neema
Did he just snort at me?
[03:55] Neema
Well, if that's how it's gonna be...
[03:58] Neema
Uwaz! Let's play! Uwaz! Uwaz!
[04:03] Neema
Okay... not really the friendly type.
[04:06] Les
I do apologize, Lady Nefertima.
[04:09] Les
Uwaz can be a bit selfish...
[04:14] Neema
Huh?
[04:15] Neema
H-Huh? What just... What's the matter?
[04:21] Neema
Ah, okay. I see what's happening here.
[04:32] Neema
That's not twue, Mister Les.
[04:34] Neema
Uwaz isn't selfish.
[04:37] Les
What?
[04:38] Neema
He's the leader of the herd,
[04:40] Neema
so he doesn't like anyone he
doesn't know getting close.
[04:43] Neema
Right, Uwaz?
[04:45] Les
Then... he acts like that on purpose
[04:48] Les
so humans don't go near the herd?
[04:50] Dan
Horses do that?
[04:52] Neema
Well, Uwaz is a really smart boy.
[05:02] Les
Is that so, Uwaz? I'm sorry
I didn't realize it sooner.
[05:17] Les
I see you two mounted up okay.
[05:19] Les
That horse's name is Hugh.
[05:20] Les
He's very docile and will go
wherever you lead him,
[05:23] Les
so he's perfect for inexperienced riders.
[05:27] Neema
I wonder if this is the kind of white horse
fairy tale princes ride!
[05:34] Neema
He'd be perfect for my brother.
[05:36] Les
All right, let's go.
[05:38] Les
The beast stables are quite large.
[05:51] Neema
What are they doing?
[05:53] Dan
That's a giant boar.
[05:55] Les
They're looking for bugs to eat underground.
[05:59] Neema
Ah, so it's lunchtime.
[06:07] Neema
Wha...
[06:08] Neema
What the?!
[06:10] Les
Er, looks like they've spotted us...
[06:13] Les
Baby giant boars want someone to play with,
so they'll charge at you.
[06:17] Les
A number of beast knights
get injured every year.
[06:20] Neema
What?! Really?!
[06:22] Neema
Help me!
[06:40] Les
You saved us, Uwaz.
[06:42] Neema
Thank you, Uwaz!
[06:53] Les
Over there, you can see a flock of wakkas.
[06:56] Les
They are the fastest animals on land.
[06:59] Les
Here, we use them as messengers
and in emergencies.
[07:02] Neema
The fastest animals on land?
[07:04] Neema
I wanna ride one!
[07:06] Dan
Saw that coming...
[07:07] Les
I'm afraid you need a great deal of training
to handle the wakkas' speed.
[07:12] Neema
Wanna ride! I wanna ride one!
[07:14] Les
Very well, then.
[07:17] Les
If we're both going to ride one,
[07:18] Les
let's go with Yoshu here.
He's quite energetic.
[07:23] Les
Does your safety rope feel too tight?
[07:25] Les
When you hold on to Yoshu,
lean forward and hug him.
[07:30] Neema
Can't... reach...
[07:32] Les
A little lower.
[07:34] Neema
So smooth! That feels nice!
[07:37] Les
If you grab too hard, he'll stop,
so please be careful.
[07:41] Neema
Yay! I'm so excited now!
[07:43] Neema
I wonder how fast he'll go!
[07:46] Les
He's very, very fast.
[07:48] Neema
Mister Yoshu, pwease go as fast as you can!
[07:51] Les
I really mean it when I say he's fast.
[07:54] Les
I can't believe she's not
scared in the slightest.
[07:56] Les
All right, here we go.
[08:05] Neema
What's with this speed?!
[08:07] Neema
It really hurts! I can't breathe!
[08:17] Les
Block the wind flow and make it fade.
[08:23] Neema
Huh? The wind's gone?
[08:27] Les
I'm terribly sorry.
[08:28] Les
I accidentally forgot to cast the spell.
[08:32] Neema
Are you sure it was an accident?!
[08:35] Les
Please hold on.
[08:36] Neema
Huh?
[08:37] Les
We're going to speed up a bit.
[08:52] Neema
I weally wespect people who wide wakkas...
[08:56] Les
That was about 50 percent of its top speed.
[09:04] Dan
You good? You can barely walk.
[09:08] Neema
It's not that funny!
[09:26] Neema
Wow!
[09:28] Dan
That's a gleyhawk.
We use them to exchange letters.
[09:33] Neema
No fair...
[09:34] Neema
I want one on my arm, too. But I guess
it's out of the question in this body.
[09:42] Les
Ah...
[09:47] Les
Wha—
[09:48] Les
I'm terribly sorry. One of my subordinates
has caused some trouble.
[09:51] Les
I must get back immediately.
[09:53] Dan
Got it. Guess we'll call it a day, then.
[09:56] Neema
Aw... Can we come back and play really soon?
[10:00] Les
Yes. If I'm free,
I'll be happy to show you around.
[10:05] Neema
When the captain's free, huh?
[10:08] Neema
Well, so much for today.
[10:10] Neema
Mister Dan, let's go see Ghizel!
[10:12] Dan
Right now?!
[10:16] Les
What do you mean a white moose escaped?
[10:21] Les
Of course it had to be a rare breed...
[10:24] Beast Knight
I'm terribly sorry, sir!
[10:26] Les
We're going to form a plan immediately.
[10:28] Les
We will track it down with hounds and then,
before it can put its guard up,
[10:33] Les
we're going to capture it together.
[10:35] Beast Knights
Yes, sir!
[10:38] Les
Honestly, what were they even thinking?
[10:43] Les
Today's been one unpleasant
thing after another.
[10:47] Les
Of course, that includes the moose escaping,
[10:50] Les
but also Uwaz taking a liking
to Lady Nefertima...
[10:54] Les
and then Yoshu obediently obeying orders.
[11:00] Les
Anyway, right now, the white
moose takes precedence.
[11:08] Les
Seriously...
[11:09] Les
How in the world did this happen?!
[11:12] Neema
Lessee... I was twying to get back from
visiting Ghizel, and she seemed lost.
[11:18] Les
So you found her, Lady Nefertima?
[11:21] Neema
Nuh-uh. The elemental spiwits noticed
she was lost and protected her.
[11:25] Neema
Then Lars told me, so we went and found her.
[11:30] Les
To think she'd also find the white moose...
[11:33] Les
I underestimated Lady Nefertima.
[11:37] Les
From now on, if something like this happens
again, could you contact us first?
[11:43] Neema
Okay!
[11:44] Les
The power to be loved by
any kind of animal...
[11:47] Les
I never thought such a thing existed,
[11:51] Les
yet I have no choice but to accept it now.
[11:53] Les
I'm rather jealous.
[11:55] Neema
So warm!
[11:55] Les
I'd love that power myself,
as I also adore animals.
[12:05] Cerulia
Neema, happy birthday.
[12:07] Neema
Thank you very much!
[12:09] Dayland
To celebrate your birthday,
we'll grant you one wish.
[12:12] Dayland
What would you like?
[12:13] Neema
Hmm...
[12:16] Neema
I wanna go to the city!
[12:17] Dayland
Wha— N-No, absolutely not! It's dangerous!
[12:21] Cerulia
Dear, she'll be fine as long as
she's with someone.
[12:24] Neema
I'll go with Karna!
[12:25] Dayland
You girls going alone is just as bad!
[12:28] Cerulia
Then we'll just send Paul with them.
[12:32] Dayland
S-So be it. I suppose I can accept that.
[12:35] Neema
Yay!
[12:37] Cerulia
Isn't that great, honey?
Now let's get you ready for your outing.
[12:42] Neema
Okay!
[12:43] Neema
Hooray! My first shopping trip!
[12:51] Neema
Wow! It's so lively here.
[12:53] Karna
Well, this is the commercial district.
[12:56] Karna
The royal capital is split
into four distinct areas.
[12:58] Sign
Palace
[12:59] Sign
Noble District
[12:59] Sign
Palace
[13:00] Sign
Noble District
[13:00] Sign
Commercial District
[13:01] Sign
Industrial District

[13:01] Neema
Ah, it almost looks like a baumkuchen!
[13:02] Sign
Commercial District
[13:02] Sign
Noble District
[13:02] Sign
Common District
[13:05] Karna
Apparently, the first king wanted the city
to look beautiful even from the sky.
[13:11] Karna
I'm so happy that I get to go
shopping with you, Neema!
[13:15] Karna
So let's get to it!
[13:17] Neema
W-Wait for me!
[13:24] Shopkeeper
Step right up!
[13:26] Neema
It's like a street festival!
[13:27] Neema
It looks so fun!
[13:33] Neema
Hey, hey! Can you teach me how to use money?
[13:36] Karna
Sure.
[13:39] Karna
The smallest unit of currency is a rye.
[13:41] Karna
Ten ryes are equal to one copper ingot.
[13:44] Karna
The drinks at that stall cost eight ryes.
[13:48] Karna
Enjoying drinks at a café will probably
cost you around three copper ingots.
[13:53] Neema
I see...
[13:54] Neema
Okay, I think I got it down. Time to shop!
[13:59] Neema
I'd like three, pwease.
[14:01] Turkey shop owner
Oh? You've got good taste, little lady!
[14:04] Turkey shop owner
We've got the world's most
delicious turkey here.
[14:07] Neema
Yeah, this is it!
[14:09] Turkey shop owner
Three legs will be three copper ingots.
[14:12] Neema
One... two... three.
[14:16] Neema
Here!
[14:17] Turkey shop owner
Be careful. They're hot.
[14:19] Neema
Okay!
[14:21] Neema
My first shopping trip was a success!
[14:25] Neema
Karna!
[14:27] Neema
Here you go!
[14:30] Karna
Thanks.
[14:31] Neema
You too, Paul!
[14:33] Paul
What? But I'm on the clock...
[14:35] Neema
I'm trying to bribe you
into holding my stuff.
[14:40] Paul
Thank you very much.
[14:41] Neema
Here, Dee.
[14:43] Neema
Just for today, though.
It's my birthday, so you get a special treat.
[14:49] Paul
The bone can be dangerous, so allow me.
[14:52] Neema
Thanks!
[14:54] Neema
Hmm? I wonder what that is.
[14:56] Neema
Now I smell something nice and sweet...
[15:05] Neema
Wh-What's that?!
[15:07] Paul
It's a confection called pepe.
[15:09] Paul
When they fry the boiled dough,
it puffs up like that.
[15:13] Neema
I-I'mma go buy some!
[15:16] Neema
I'd like three, pwease!
[15:18] Pepe shop owner
My, what a cute little girl.
[15:20] Pepe shop owner
Will three be enough?
[15:21] Pepe shop owner
If you buy twenty,
I'll throw in an extra three.
[15:25] Neema
Twenty?! How many are you
trying to get me to buy, lady?!
[15:28] Neema
Oh, but...
[15:30] Neema
Could you make it four, pwease?
[15:32] Pepe shop owner
Sure thing.
[15:34] Neema
I wanna give one to Dee, too!
[15:37] Pepe shop owner
Oh my. You two must be close.
[15:40] Pepe shop owner
All right. For twenty and four,
that'll be one copper coin.
[15:44] Neema
So cheap!
[15:46] Neema
Heave-ho, heave-ho...
[15:48] Karna
Neema! Neema!
[15:50] Karna
What are you going to do with all of that?
[15:53] Neema
Well, I bought some for Mama and Papa
and everyone at home!
[16:01] Karna
You're... You're...
[16:05] Karna
Such a sweet little girl!
[16:08] Karna
Goodness! You're so adorable!
[16:10] Neema
I can't bweathe...
[16:12] Paul
L-Lady Karna...
[16:14] Paul
You're going to crush both
Lady Neema and the pepes.
[16:17] Karna
O-Oh, sorry.
[16:23] Karna
Neema, why don't we stop by this place?
[16:25] Karna
I come here all the time. I just love it.
[16:30] Friend A
My, Lady Karnadia.
How do you do this fine day?
[16:34] Karna
Ack...
[16:35] Neema
Did she just say, "Ack"?
[16:37] Karna
Good day to you.
[16:38] Friend A
It's quite rare for us to bump
into each other here.
[16:43] Karna
I was just shopping with my sister.
[16:47] Friend A
Ah, the one I keep hearing about.
[16:49] Neema
Huh? She's heard of me?
[16:51] Friend A
It must be hard having such
a failure for a sister.
[16:54] Neema
Wha—?!
[16:55] Friend A
She has no magical power and
doesn't even look like your parents.
[16:58] Friend A
Not to mention those creepy black eyes...
[17:01] Friend A
How could she possibly be a noble?
[17:09] Karna
I see none of you can appreciate
how wonderful my sister is.
[17:14] Karna
Anyone who's clever can tell immediately.
[17:17] Friend A
And what do you mean by that?!
[17:19] Karna
I'm talking about the people who see
just how incredible my little sister is.
[17:25] Karna
Like, say...
[17:26] Karna
The royal family.
[17:33] Karna
Belittling someone you've just met
is most unbecoming for a noblewoman.
[17:40] Karna
I'd be sullying my good family's name
to associate with someone like you.
[17:46] Karna
Let's go home.
[17:49] Neema
Okay, Karna!
[17:51] Karna
Have a lovely day, ladies.
[18:01] Karna
Neema, you must be tired.
[18:03] Neema
I slept in the carriage, so I'm fine.
[18:05] Neema
Man, that was so much fun.
[18:08] Neema
Those people we ran into at the café
were annoying, but my sister was so cool.
[18:13] Neema
What a great birthday.
[18:19] Dayland and Ralf
Happy birthday, Neema!
[18:23] Crowd
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
[18:28] Dayland
We kept this a secret
so we could surprise you.
[18:32] Neema
Huh? Everyone's so busy...
[18:35] Neema
But they all got together
to prepare this for me?
[18:39] Gauldi
Looks like it was a big success.
[18:41] Gauldi
The adorable little princess
is clearly surprised.
[18:47] Neema
Fank you sho much...
[18:51] Gauldi
Oh no. We made the little princess cry.
[18:54] Cerulia
She just must be that happy.
[19:00] Will
You sure do look ugly when you cry.
[19:02] Neema
You shut up!
[19:06] Dayland
All right, let's eat.
[19:10] Olive
To Nefertima growing up healthy!
[19:13] All
Cheers!
[19:18] Relena
Neema, come here.
[19:22] Relena
This is a gift from the king and myself.
[19:29] Relena
It's a necklace with magical stones.
[19:31] Relena
I've included some very powerful ones.
[19:34] Gauldi
You need a certain spell to use this.
[19:38] Neema
A spell?
[19:38] Gauldi
The magical chant is "Help me, Uncle Gauldi!"
[19:43] Relena
Goodness.
[19:44] Will
What nonsense are you going on about, Father?
[19:51] Will
Here. This is from me.
[19:53] Will
Unlike the gift from my mother
and father, it'll protect you.
[19:57] Will
Make sure you always keep it on you.
[19:59] Neema
So he's basically saying what
they gave me is useless?
[20:04] Olive
I got you clothes, a hat, and some shoes!
[20:07] Olive
They've been altered so you can
wear them when you're bigger.
[20:10] Gouche
Here's a blade to protect you.
[20:12] Gwynn
An encyclopedia of the animals in all regions.
[20:15] Gwynn

[20:17] Dan
This is a hair clip made from the scales
of dragons at the stables.
[20:21] Dan
Neck scales, even. They're the hardest.
[20:24] Dan
The dragons cooperated
when I collected them, too.
[20:27] Neema
Scales from the place
they hate being touched the most?!
[20:32] Neema
The next time I see them, I'm going
to give them so many head pats!
[20:35] Les
And this is from me.
[20:39] Les
This little one is related to the
gleyhawk. It's called a rain hawk.
[20:42] Les
She's the cleverest and strongest
that was born this earth season.
[20:49] Rain Hawk
Cheep.
[20:49] Neema
She's so fluffy!
[20:51] Neema
I can keep her?
[20:53] Les
We raised her to grow up indoors,
and your parents gave their blessing.
[21:00] Les
You were looking so intently
at the gleyhawk the other day.
[21:05] Les
Gleyhawks are far too big for you still,
so please take care of this rain hawk instead.
[21:20] Sign
Remember to study.
[21:24] Neema
Thank you very much, everyone!
[21:27] Neema
This was the best birthday ever!
[21:36] Neema
Today was so much fun.
[21:38] Neema
So many people came to celebrate my birthday.
[21:41] Rain Hawk
Cheep.
[21:43] Neema
Oh, yeah. I haven't given you a name yet.
[21:46] Neema
Hmm... What should I call you?
[21:48] Rain Hawk
Cheep... Cheep?
[21:51] Neema
Nox.
[21:53] Neema
From now on, you're Nox.
[21:55] Nox
Cheep!

Marjace!
[02:19] Marjace
I've brought the tutor you'll
be working with starting today.
[02:24] Annalee
I am Annalee Dessa. It is a pleasure
to make your acquaintance.
[02:28] Neema
Whoa, a perfect bow!
[02:31] Neema
Minimal makeup...
[02:34] Neema
Prim and proper clothes and hair...
[02:37] Neema
She's like a picture-perfect lady!
[02:40] Neema
It's a pleasure to meet you, too.
[02:47] Marjace
I shall go get some tea ready.
[02:52] Annalee
Lady Nefertima.
[02:54] Annalee
We will first have to work
on your manner of speech.
[02:58] Sign
Manner of speech?
[02:59] Neema
My speech?
[03:01] Neema
All I said was that it's nice to meet her...
[03:03] Annalee
According to your butler Marjace,
[03:05] Annalee
you address your parents as
"Papa" and "Mama."
[03:09] Neema
Oh, that's what she meant.
[03:13] Neema
Ow!
[03:15] Annalee
I expect to hear a proper response.
[03:19] Neema
What the heck was that for?!
[03:21] Annalee
And why, pray tell, are you glaring?
[03:24] Annalee
You are a noble lady.
[03:26] Annalee
You must never let your emotions
show under any circumstances.
[03:32] Marjace
Pardon me.
[03:34] Marjace
Oh? I see you're getting along already.
[03:37] Annalee
Indeed. I'm sure we'll be fast friends.
[03:43] Neema
Th-This lady is definitely my enemy!
[03:45] Neema
And so my Spartan lessons
with Annalee began...
[03:51] Annalee
You have poor posture.
[03:53] Annalee
Always keep smiling!
[03:56] Annalee
Why can't you do this?!
[03:59] Annalee
That's all for today.
[04:02] Annalee
And what do you say?
[04:04] Neema
Yes, ma'am...
[04:06] Annalee
I see you've learned the basics,
[04:09] Annalee
but I still have so much to teach you.
[04:11] Annalee
I taught Lord Ralfreed and Lady Karnadia,
[04:16] Annalee
and they were both such talented students.
[04:19] Annalee
I shall also turn you into a
proper lady, Lady Nefertima.
[04:24] Neema
Eek!
[04:27] Neema
I'm all tiwed...
[04:30] Neema
Man, I'm so annoyed!
[04:32] Neema
There's no way that she treated
Ralf or Karna like this.
[04:37] Neema
Wait... Is she making a fool of me?
[04:43] Neema
I'm sure Papa would take care
of things if I told him, but...
[04:46] Dale
How dare she?!
[04:47] Neema
Yeah, we can all see that coming.
[04:51] Neema
That's it! I'm not gonna let her win!
[04:54] Nox
Cheep.
[04:55] Neema
Bring it on, lady!
[05:00] Annalee
How many times must I tell
you this, Lady Nefertima?
[05:03] Annalee
You are slouching yet again.
[05:06] Annalee
What is the matter?
[05:09] Neema
Thank you for your guidance.
I will be more careful in the future.
[05:14] Annalee
Well, as long as you understand...
[05:18] Neema
Don't underestimate my business smile
[05:20] Neema
and the feigned obsequiousness
I learned at work in my last life!
[05:24] Annalee
Now, let us study some history.
[05:28] Neema
Yes, ma'am.
[05:31] Neema
But I don't know how long
I can keep this up...
[05:38] Neema
Thank you for the meal.
[05:45] Dayland
What's wrong with Neema?
She always cleans her plate.
[05:50] Karna
Maybe she has a stomachache.
[05:57] Cerulia
Neema. If you aren't feeling well,
let's have a doctor take a look at you.
[06:03] Neema
Huh?! A d-doctor?!
[06:06] Neema
I-I'm fine. There's nuffing wrong with me.
[06:09] Cerulia
Still, just in case.
[06:11] Neema
But I'm fine!
[06:13] Cerulia
Neema!
[06:14] Neema
I mean, there's nothing wrong with me!
[06:16] Neema
If Mama catches me, she definitely won't let
me leave until I tell her about Annalee!
[06:22] Ralf
Caught you.
[06:24] Neema
Ralf! No fair using magic!
[06:28] Ralf
You can fuss at me all you want later.
[06:31] Ralf
More importantly,
[06:32] Ralf
you should probably think about what
you're going to tell Mother right now.
[06:38] Cerulia
Neema...
[06:41] Neema
She's ten billion times scarier
than Annalee Dessa!
[06:45] Cerulia
The reason you've been acting strange lately
is because of Annalee Dessa, right?
[06:50] Neema
She got me!
[06:51] Cerulia
Why won't you just talk to me about it?
[06:55] Neema
'Cause I can fight my own fights.
[06:57] Cerulia
So you don't want us to interfere?
[07:00] Neema
Well, you'd make her quit, wouldn't you?!
[07:03] Cerulia
Yes, but...
[07:07] Cerulia
Do you have a strategy to defeat Annalee?
[07:09] Neema
A strategy?
[07:11] Cerulia
She's known for being a perfect lady,
[07:13] Cerulia
so you won't be able
to best her with etiquette.
[07:16] Cerulia
If you challenge her,
[07:17] Cerulia
you must do so on your terms
or you won't stand a chance.
[07:21] Cerulia
Neema, learn everything
you can from Annalee.
[07:25] Cerulia
You must know your opponent well,
[07:27] Cerulia
or she won't even bother taking
this fight seriously.
[07:31] Neema
So you're saying that I hafta get
Annalee to acknowledge me?
[07:36] Cerulia
Do you think you can, Neema?
[07:39] Ralf
I'll help you out.
[07:44] Ralf
Lute Cresiolle.
[07:49] Neema
It feels so warm!
[07:51] Neema
My whole body feels lighter.
[07:56] Ralf
If you ever feel drained again,
I'll use magic to heal you.
[08:00] Ralf
I'll also be your dance partner.
[08:02] Neema
But...
[08:03] Ralf
Don't worry. I promise I won't interfere.
[08:07] Ralf
I just want to help you blossom
into a lovely lady, Neema.
[08:12] Neema
He knows exactly how to handle me!
[08:15] Cerulia
We'll keep this a secret
from Dayle and Karna.
[08:18] Cerulia
So... go fight your heart out, Neema.
[08:23] Neema
'Kay!
[08:26] Neema
All right! I'm gonna do this!
[08:28] Neema
I'm will make Annalee acknowledge me!
[08:31] Sign
One Year Later
[08:33] Dayland
Wow, Neema!
[08:35] Neema
Hello, everyone.
[08:37] Neema
Good day to you all.
[08:39] Dayland
I can't believe how much
you've grown in a year...
[08:47] Dayland
Amazing! You're magnificent, Neema!
[08:49] Neema
It's all thanks to Madam Dessa's guidance.
[08:51] Annalee
I'm very proud.
[08:54] Annalee
I'd expect no less from a fine young lady
[08:56] Annalee
of the Osphes, who are so close
with the royal family.
[08:59] Neema
Annalee carries herself so beautifully,
[09:02] Neema
but she just doesn't strike
me as a real lady.
[09:05] Neema
What's this awkwardness I'm feeling?
[09:09] Cerulia
You must know your opponent well.
[09:18] Neema
Say, Paul...
[09:21] Neema
Tell me about Madam Annalee.
[09:27] Paul
When we were hiring her as a tutor,
[09:29] Paul
I looked into Annalee Dessa.
[09:32] Paul
But I found nothing of concern.
[09:34] Paul
That said... some of her relatives are ardent
believers in the Church of Divine Creation.
[09:39] Neema
The Church of Divine Creation? Wasn't that...
[09:42] High Priest
I believe it was the will
of the God of Divine Creation.
[09:48] Neema
They're the church with that lousy priest
[09:50] Neema
who kept yapping like
he was a messenger from God.
[09:53] Neema
I get it now. This awkwardness
I'm feeling might be because...
[09:59] Annalee
So as you can see, there are numerous
countries surrounding the Kingdom of Gaché,
[10:04] Annalee
all with different climates.
[10:06] Neema
Say, Madam Annalee,
[10:07] Neema
I heard that Icoux to the southwest
of us is struggling due to a drought.
[10:11] Annalee
How very knowledgeable of you.
[10:14] Neema
This summer, Icoux suffered a drought,
[10:16] Neema
which killed the harvest
and led to a food shortage.
[10:20] Neema
They went to neighboring nations
and the Church for help.
[10:23] Neema
In the end, our kingdom along with two
other countries decided to provide aid.
[10:28] Neema
But...
[10:29] Neema
Why hasn't the Church of Divine Creation
done anything for them?
[10:32] Neema
Icoux is clearly struggling,
so they should help.
[10:38] Annalee
Unfortunately, Icoux has angered God.
[10:42] Annalee
As messengers of God,
if members of the Church helped them,
[10:45] Annalee
they would be going against God's will.
[10:47] Neema
How are you so sure that the
drought was divine punishment?
[10:51] Annalee
Because our priestesses received
a divine revelation from God.
[10:54] Neema
Your priestesses?
[10:56] Neema
You sure the Church of Divine
Creation didn't just make it up?
[11:02] Neema
But were not all people created
by the God of Divine Creation?
[11:05] Neema
It doesn't make any sense
to kill them as punishment.
[11:08] Annalee
Icoux is a barbaric country that
harbors the likes of beastpeople.
[11:12] Annalee
Who knows what they may
be doing in the shadows?
[11:15] Neema
I knew it. Annalee is... She's...
[11:20] Neema
Have you ever met anyone or any
beastpeople from Icoux, Madam Annalee?
[11:25] Annalee
What?
[11:27] Annalee
Oh, of course not.
[11:30] Annalee
They're much too terrifying to approach.
[11:33] Neema
This is it. This is why
I was feeling so awkward.
[11:37] Neema
It's that discriminatory elitism
that comes from being suckered into beliefs.
[11:41] Neema
You could hardly call her a real lady.
[11:44] Neema
I never would have imagined...
[11:48] Neema
that someone like you could be so uncouth.
[11:52] Annalee
What?
[11:56] Annalee
Me?
[11:59] Annalee
Uncouth?!
[12:11] Neema
This is not education.
[12:13] Neema
This is just violence because
she's enraged that I insulted her.
[12:18] Neema
But it's true, isn't it?
[12:19] Neema
I never want to become the type of vile
person to scorn those I've never even met!
[12:25] Neema
Or are you trying to say that's
a proper outlook for a noble lady?
[12:30] Annalee
W-Well...
[12:32] Neema
As the daughter of Duke Osphe,
[12:35] Neema
I must become a fine lady who
doesn't bring shame upon my father.
[12:41] Annalee
A true lady shouldn't discuss boorish
topics like politics in the first place.
[12:47] Neema
Then I beg your pardon,
but what should I talk about?
[12:50] Neema
It's true that when ladies get together,
[12:53] Neema
they prefer talk of sweet shops and fashion.
[12:57] Neema
But are gentlemen interested in such things?
[13:00] Neema
Or are you suggesting
[13:02] Neema
I should simply stay silent
in their company like some doll?
[13:06] Annalee
All you need to do is nod in response.
[13:10] Neema
That would be just plain rude.
[13:13] Neema
The point of conversation
is to better understand one another.
[13:16] Neema
So if what you say is true, Madam,
[13:19] Neema
exactly how do the ladies of this world
entertain the gentlemen around them?
[13:24] Annalee
W-Well...
[13:41] Neema
I guess that's one victory for me...
[13:51] Neema
Nox, come here.
[13:52] Nox
Cheep.
[13:56] Nox
Cheep, cheep, cheep...
[14:00] Neema
I'm so exhausted.
[14:02] Neema
As for how things unfolded after that...
[14:05] Dayland
Neema! What happened to your cheek?!
[14:06] Neema
Papa saw the mark on my cheek
and got really mad at Annalee.
[14:11] Neema
No!
[14:12] Neema
But I told him not to interfere
because it was my fight. And then...
[14:13] Neema
No butting in!
[14:17] Neema
He mumbled something about how
I was becoming like my mother.
[14:21] Neema
I just had him give Annalee a little warning.
[14:26] Neema
I heard she apologized
[14:28] Neema
and asked to continue as my personal tutor.
[14:32] Neema
After that, I had fewer tutoring sessions
[14:36] Neema
and started learning various
other things besides etiquette.
[14:41] Neema
Those lessons are actually pretty fun!
[14:46] Neema
Uwaz!
[14:51] Neema
Our duel continues...
[14:54] Neema
but I'm doing great now that
I'm able to get some floof time in.
[15:01] Neema
Touring the northern territory?
[15:03] Dayland
Yes.
[15:05] Dayland
The Osphe family is in charge of the
northern lands of the Kingdom of Gaché.
[15:10] Dayland
I need to go check on things there.
[15:12] Dayland
Now that you're five,
[15:14] Dayland
I'm told that some of your academic
and other lessons have wound down.
[15:20] Dayland
I figured I'd take you along so
you can expand your horizons.
[15:24] Dayland
What say you?
[15:25] Neema
I'd like to go!
[15:27] Neema
Yay!
[15:28] Neema
If we're going north, I bet it's pretty cold!
[15:30] Neema
I'm sure there are plenty of fluffs up there!
[15:36] Dayland
A transportation spell will take us up north.
[15:39] Dayland
This is the device we use for that.
[15:41] Dayland
Because it's such a large-scale spell,
[15:44] Dayland
only the palace and major cities
have such devices.
[15:47] Neema
Wow...
[15:49] Mage
Are you ready, Your Grace?
[15:51] Dayland
Go ahead.
[16:00] Dayland
Arsenta!
[16:11] Neema
It doesn't look like anything changed...
[16:14] Warnus
We've been awaiting your arrival.
[16:17] Warnus
I'm humbled you'd come all this way.
[16:20] Warnus
I am Warnus Gilva, the proxy lord here.
[16:24] Dayland
My daughter Nefertima will
be accompanying us on this trip.
[16:27] Dayland
I appreciate your hospitality.
[16:29] Neema
I am my father's second daughter, Nefertima.
[16:31] Neema
Thank you for your hospitality.
[16:33] Warnus
My, my, such a polite young lady.
[16:35] Warnus
Welcome to Arsenta.
[16:37] Neema
Oh, Arsenta's the name of a place!
[16:40] Warnus
We've prepared a carriage for you.
Please, right this way.
[16:44] Dayland
Certainly. Thank you.
[16:47] Dayland
Neema!
[16:52] Neema
Wow!
[16:54] Neema
Snow! It's snowing!
[16:56] Neema
I've never seen it in this world before!
[17:03] Neema
Huh?
[17:05] Dayland
Neema!
[17:07] Dayland
Expel the outside air and
let the warmth be sustained.
[17:12] Neema
Huh? I'm not cold anymore.
[17:14] Dayland
You can't just run off like that.
[17:16] Dayland
The climate here isn't like the capital.
[17:18] Dayland
You must be dressed properly.
[17:19] Neema
Properly how?
[17:24] Neema
It's so warm!
[17:26] Dayland
Indeed, you look perfect!
[17:29] Dayland
We'll be traveling to our
destination by carriage
[17:31] Dayland
since we want to make it by nightfall.
[17:35] Dayland
Let's hurry.
[17:43] Neema
Take that!
[17:44] Dayland
Oh no!
[17:50] Dayland
One third of the northern territory
consists of a mountain range.
[17:54] Dayland
It might be rather cold, but that
doesn't mean business here is suffering.
[17:58] Dayland
The mountains provide lumber.
[18:00] Dayland
The plains have dairy farms.
[18:01] Dayland
And closer to the capital,
there are crops that can survive the cold.
[18:05] Dayland
Each region adapts as they need to.
[18:09] Neema
Huh...
[18:10] Neema
Maybe this place is like
Hokkaido or the Tohoku region.
[18:15] Neema
I hope there are a lot of yummy
things and rare creatures around!
[18:21] Mayor
Ah, Duke Osphe!
Thank you for traveling all this way.
[18:26] Mayor
I am the mayor here.
[18:28] Mayor
Please, make yourselves at home.
[18:30] Dayland
Thank you for having us.
[18:36] Neema
Talk about a warm welcome.
[18:40] Neema
That's interesting...
[18:42] Neema
Apparently, the snow doesn't
pile up around here.
[18:45] Neema
I wonder why.
[18:55] Neema
How yummy!
[18:57] Neema
I had no idea giant boars were so delicious!
[19:00] Neema
May I have seconds, please?
[19:02] Mayor's Wife
I'm glad you like it.
[19:07] Neema
Your cooking is so delicious,
ma'am. I love it!
[19:10] Mayor's Wife
My!
[19:11] Mayor's Wife
I'll have to do my best
for your packed lunches tomorrow.
[19:14] Neema
Packed lunches?
[19:15] Dayland
We'll be entering the forest tomorrow.
[19:17] Dayland
It'll be very dangerous,
so I was thinking of leaving you here.
[19:22] Dayland
But I'd like you to help us out.
[19:26] Dayland
Lately, there have been a lot of
casualties from monsters in this area.
[19:31] Dayland
We've deployed knights to cull them,
but their numbers aren't thinning.
[19:35] Dayland
So we're going to be building
an outpost for the knights.
[19:39] Dayland
I'm here this time to inspect the site
[19:42] Dayland
and see what's going on in the forest.
[19:45] Dayland
And I'd like for you to be our
intermediary with the fire dragon.
[19:49] Neema
Intermediary? Are you going to ask him
to eliminate all the monsters here?
[19:53] Neema
I'm worried the whole forest
would go up in flames...
[19:57] Dayland
No, but I'm sure he's quite
knowledgeable about monsters.
[20:00] Dayland
I was hoping he might be able
to give us a clue.
[20:04] Neema
Oh, I see.
[20:05] Neema
In that case, I'll ask him!
[20:11] Neema
Sol. Sol? Sol?
[20:15] Neema
Mister Sol! O great Sol?
[20:19] Sol
You needn't call for me repeatedly.
[20:22] Neema
Oh! I hear Sol!
[20:25] Neema
So, hey, I tagged along with Papa
to tour the territory up here...
[20:30] Neema
But lots of monsters have
been killing people lately.
[20:32] Neema
Do you know anything about that?
[20:34] Sol
Monsters, eh?
[20:36] Sol
Where are you?
[20:38] Neema
Huh? Where are we?
[20:42] Dayland
Icoff in the Gilva Proxy.
[20:45] Dayland
He might know it as the Needle Frost Forest.
[20:47] Sol
How odd... There shouldn't be any
monsters in the Needle Frost Forest.
[20:52] Neema
Sol says he wants to know what
kind of monsters are here.
[20:55] Dayland
Most of the reports seem to be about goblins.
[20:59] Dayland
There have also been reports of kobolds
and, very rarely, frost spiders.
[21:05] Neema
Sol says that the goblins and kobolds
should live much farther south.
[21:10] Dayland
Hmm, in that case...
[21:18] Dayland
Maybe they're overpopulated.
SIGN It's also rather curious that all the reports are coming from here.
[21:24] Dayland
Hmm... It's not likely,
but it's possible the cause is man-made.
[21:29] Dayland
Maybe someone gathered them here.
[21:33] Neema
Um... could there be any
way this is God's fault?
[21:37] Dayland
Why would he do this?
[21:38] Neema
Huh?!
[21:39] Neema
Well...
[21:40] Neema
It's not like I can tell him
this may be for my mission...
[21:45] Dayland
I guess we'll just have
to rule out one thing at a time.
[21:49] Cadence
There might be some kind of evidence.
[21:50] Neema
He's definitely the most suspicious, though...
[21:53] Dayland
All right.
[21:54] Dayland
There's no point sitting around
thinking about it.
[21:57] Dayland
Tomorrow morning, we head into the woods.

Ow, ow, ow...
[05:21] Neema
Something's there...?
[05:26] Neema
And a lot of them!
[05:31] Neema
A goblin?!
[05:34] Neema
I think...
[05:37] Neema
I might actually be in big trouble!
[05:42] Neema
Don't eat it!
[05:47] Neema
It understood me?
[05:49] Neema
Huh? Why are you sad all of a sudden?
[05:53] Neema
Where'd all that intimidation go?
[05:57] Neema
Why did you kidnap me?
What do you plan to do with me?
[06:06] Neema
Th-They're actually cute!
[06:09] Neema
No, no. They're monsters, duh.
[06:19] Guide
There are several goblin tracks.
SIGN I believe they're what took Lady Nefertima.
[06:25] Cadence
It could be a fairly large horde.
[06:28] Dayland
Unbelievable... How could
this happen with me here?
[06:37] Neema
Huh? Here?
[06:44] Neema
H...
[06:46] Neema
Humans!
[06:49] Pino
Um... Did you get kidnapped, too?
[06:53] Neema
Yes, I did.
[06:54] Neema
You two as well?
[06:56] Nino
Isn't it obvious?
That's clearly why we're here.
[07:00] Neema
Yeesh. Well, she's got a point.
[07:03] Neema
She's harsher than she looks.
[07:07] Neema
I'm Neema. It's nice to meet you.
[07:10] Pino
I'm Pino. This is my little sister, Nino.
[07:14] Neema
Are you the only ones here?
[07:16] Pino
Well, there're some adults...
[07:18] Neema
Adults?
[07:19] Pino
They got taken with us.
[07:21] Pino
But they're being held somewhere else,
so we haven't seen them since.
[07:25] Neema
Hmm, this would be better
if I were alone, but...
[07:29] Neema
Say, Sol, would it be dangerous to
use fire magic in an enclosed space?
[07:33] Neema
Would we be able to breathe?
[07:35] Sol
Where did this come from?
[07:37] Neema
Some goblins kidnapped me,
and I'm stuck in a cave.
[07:41] Sol
Honestly, you're so...
[07:43] Neema
It wasn't on purpose!
[07:45] Neema
Anyway, I'd like to escape
with some other people.
[07:49] Neema
I was wondering if you could use
your magic to teach the goblins a lesson.
[07:56] Sol
You'd be able to breathe
if we channeled wind,
[07:58] Sol
but I cannot attack just the goblins.
[08:01] Sol
Perhaps if you can adjust your magic...
[08:04] Neema
Yeah, that's not happening.
I don't have any magical power!
[08:07] Pino
Neema?
[08:08] Neema
Oh, sorry.
[08:10] Neema
I guess we'll just have
to wait for Papa to save us.
[08:15] Sign
Gurgle
[08:17] Nino
Seriously? You're unbelievable.
[08:20] Neema
I-I can't help it! You can get
hungry at any time, you know!
[08:26] Neema
Well, well, well!
[08:27] Nino
Y-You've got the wrong idea! This is just...
[08:31] Neema
I get it.
[08:32] Neema
You always get hungry when
you're deep in thought, huh?
[08:35] Nino
Th-That's right! I was thinking
about lots of stuff!
[08:39] Neema
Yeah, sure.
[08:40] Nino
Honest!
[08:41] Neema
Yeah, sure.
[08:41] Nino
It's the truth, dang it!
[08:45] Neema
I never did get to eat my packed lunch...
[08:48] Neema
Oh?
[08:50] Neema
We might be able to get out.
[08:52] Neema
I'm gonna go look for some food.
[08:55] Nino
Huh?
[08:55] Neema
Take care of this guy.
[08:56] Pino
You're going by yourself?
[08:58] Nino
That's dangerous!
[08:59] Neema
Yeah, I'll be fine. Just wait here.
[09:16] Neema
I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was startled, too!
[09:20] Neema
Um, we're hungry.
Do you have anything to eat?
[09:31] Neema
Fruit?
[09:32] Neema
Can I eat this?
[09:36] Neema
I wonder if it's edible...
[09:41] Neema
That's bitter!
[09:44] Neema
What is this? My tongue feels all tingly!
[09:56] Neema
I wonder if it'll be okay this time...
[10:02] Neema
I-It's so sweet!
[10:05] Neema
I guess I wasn't supposed to eat the skin!
[10:07] Neema
This is yummy.
[10:08] Neema
Pino and Nino should be
able to eat this, too.
[10:12] Neema
Could I get a few more?
[10:15] Neema
This many? Thank you!
[10:19] Neema
How do I get the skin off?
[10:21] Neema
I know!
[10:22] Neema
Ta-da!
[10:35] Neema
Yes, very good!
[10:38] Neema
Now you'll be able to eat these easier, too.
[10:40] Neema
Let's peel some more!
[10:43] Neema
And so, before I knew it...
[10:45] Neema
We all became friends.
[10:48] Neema
To think the power I received from God
works on monsters, too!
[10:53] Neema
But this isn't good. I don't want
to see any of them exterminated.
[10:59] Neema
Papa's definitely coming here,
and I doubt he'll listen to me.
[11:05] Neema
Say, why do you all live here?
[11:12] Neema
Sorry. I don't know what you're saying.
[11:18] Neema
It sure is rowdy out there.
[11:19] Neema
Did Papa come for...
[11:28] Neema
I-It's huge! Is he one of
those hobgoblin things?
[11:33] Hobgoblin
What's a human girl doing here?
[11:36] Neema
I-It can talk?!
[11:38] Hobgoblin
You kidnapped another one?
[11:41] Hobgoblin
How many times do I have
to tell you to knock that off?
[11:44] Neema
Wait a second!
[11:45] Neema
I have some questions for you!
[11:48] Neema
First, is it safe to assume
you're their leader?
[11:53] Hobgoblin
Yes.
[11:53] Neema
Hey, we can actually have a conversation!
[11:56] Neema
Second, why do they keep
kidnapping kids like me?
[12:00] Hobgoblin
That's just in their nature.
[12:03] Neema
Their nature?
[12:05] Hobgoblin
I'd say they're protecting you
rather than kidnapping you.
[12:08] Hobgoblin
Goblins take very good care of children,
even if they're human children.
[12:13] Neema
I see. Although it wasn't like
I was lost or anything.
[12:18] Neema
Okay, here's my third and final question.
[12:21] Neema
Why do you attack humans?
[12:25] Hobgoblin
To survive.
[12:29] Hobgoblin
That's the only reason we came this far.
[12:35] Neema
But I heard that there weren't any
goblins in this forest before.
[12:39] Neema
Is there a reason you had
to leave your former nest?
[12:44] Hobgoblin
We were chased out of our forest...
[12:46] Hobgoblin
by humans.
[12:47] Neema
Huh?
[12:49] Hobgoblin
And not just us goblins.
The kobolds, orcs, and ogres, too.
[12:54] Neema
But why'd you come this far north?
[12:56] Hobgoblin
The humans just kept pursuing us.
[12:59] Hobgoblin
Those who weren't willing to fight or
couldn't take the cold perished one by one.
[13:04] Hobgoblin
We're weak, so we kept running,
[13:07] Hobgoblin
but even so, many of us fell.
[13:11] Neema
So basically, this is all humans' fault?
[13:15] Neema
I need Papa to look into what happened.
[13:19] Neema
But what am I going to about these guys?
I can't just leave them alone...
[13:24] Neema
Hmm...
[13:27] Neema
What do all of you want to do?
[13:29] Neema
Do you want revenge against the humans?
[13:35] Hobgoblin
We just want to go back
to our old way of life.
[13:38] Hobgoblin
We want to hunt and be hunted
alongside animals and monsters,
[13:41] Hobgoblin
and go back to being part of the forest.
[13:44] Neema
A part of the forest, huh?
[13:48] Neema
He's talking as though they're prey.
[13:51] Neema
But goblins aren't
from these woods to begin with,
[13:55] Neema
so if they settle here,
it'd upset the ecosystem.
[13:59] Neema
If we could just get them and the other
[14:02] Neema
displaced creatures
to live in the same spot...
[14:05] Neema
Hey, how about this? You see...
[14:08] Neema
Whisper, whisper...
[14:12] Nino
She sure is taking a long time.
[14:14] Pino
Are you worried?
[14:15] Nino
O-Of course I'm not!
[14:18] Hobgoblin
Hmm, that's certainly an interesting thought.
[14:21] Neema
Right?
[14:23] Hobgoblin
So it's all right to kill the humans?
[14:27] Neema
Well, it's survival of the fittest.
[14:29] Neema
At this rate, I can't ensure
the humans will survive,
[14:32] Neema
but it should work out
if we can form a contract.
[14:35] Hobgoblin
Then that's not a bad idea.
[14:37] Neema
Even so, you'll have to get through today.
[14:41] Hobgoblin
Today?
[14:41] Neema
My father will probably be on the
warpath coming to find me.
[14:46] Neema
If he makes it here, I don't know
what he'll do to all of you.
[14:49] Neema
You could be wiped out
before we find you somewhere to live!
[14:53] Neema
So we need to come up with a plan
to make sure he'll listen to us.
[14:57] Hobgoblin
A plan?
[14:58] Neema
Yeah.
[15:03] Pino
Don't eat so fast. It's rude.
[15:06] Nino
Well...
[15:08] Neema
Don't worry. There's still plenty,
so you don't have to hurry.
[15:11] Nino
Thanks. So, are we really going
to be able to get out of here?
[15:15] Neema
Yes. The goblins said it was okay, too.
[15:19] Neema
My father should be nearby,
so if we escape, he'll take care of us.
[15:24] Pino
That's great. We'll be able to go home.
[15:28] Nino
But why are we going outside?
[15:30] Nino
If help's on the way,
shouldn't we wait here?
[15:33] Neema
You now understand that the goblins had
their reasons for doing what they did, right?
[15:37] Pino
Yeah...
[15:38] Neema
I want to save them.
[15:43] Neema
But if my father is angry,
he probably won't hear the goblins out.
[15:48] Nino
Yeah, no one would listen to monsters anyway.
[15:51] Neema
That's why I wanted to create a situation
where they have to listen to us.
[15:55] Neema
So I need you two to help me.
[15:59] Neema
Would you mind being our decoy?
[16:02] Pino
Decoy?
[16:04] Neema
I want you to pretend like you're
being chased by goblins.
[16:07] Neema
Then the ones assigned to protect
you will be out of the fight.
[16:12] Neema
I think it'll be easier to talk
if their numbers are lower.
[16:19] Pino
We can't do that.
[16:20] Neema
Huh?
[16:20] Pino
I can't put Nino in danger.
[16:24] Neema
I'll cast a protection spell on you.
[16:29] Pino
No.
[16:30] Neema
It's a really powerful spell, though!
[16:32] Pino
It's still a no.
[16:34] Pino
I don't want her to go
through anything else scary.
[16:38] Nino
I'll do it.
[16:41] Nino
If we can play the decoy and your
plan goes well, we'll all be saved, right?
[16:47] Neema
Yes.
[16:48] Pino
Nino...
[16:51] Nino
Neema's younger than both of us,
but she's doing this for all of us.
[16:56] Nino
Not to mention...
[16:58] Nino
She says we'll be safe.
[17:00] Nino
Neema would never lie to us,
so we'll be fine.
[17:05] Neema
Nino!
[17:06] Nino
Hey! Stop being so gross!
Quit being clingy!
[17:12] Pino
Okay. You're right, Nino.
[17:15] Pino
I'm sorry about that.
I'll do what I can to help!
[17:18] Neema
Thanks, you two.
[17:27] Guide
The goblin nest is just ahead.
SIGN Shall we go?
[17:31] Dayland
Yes. But prioritize bringing
Nefertima back safely.
SIGN Yes, sir!
[17:36] Nino
No!
[17:38] Nino
Get away!
[17:41] Atleran
Children?
[17:42] Cadence
That's not Lady Nefertima.
[17:45] Dayland
Could it be...?
[17:47] Dayland
Capture them.
SIGN But...
[17:49] Dayland
Just do it.
[17:50] Neema
Yes, very good!
[17:53] Neema
There's no way Papa would
just abandon some kids!
[17:56] Pino
Nino! This way!
[17:58] Nino
No!
[17:59] Neema
Sol's magic is amazing!
I can hear their voices so clearly.
[18:03] Cadence
You two! Over here!
[18:08] Neema
All right, that's enough!
You can all go back to the nest.
[18:15] Dayland
After them.
SIGN Yes, sir!
[18:19] Neema
All right. Everything's going as planned!
[18:22] Neema
Now they can't attack at will if they think
[18:25] Neema
other people might be inside.
[18:27] Neema
And when faced with a big, bad hobgoblin,
I'm sure they'll be willing to talk.
[18:39] Neema
Yes, this was the perfect plan!
[18:42] Cadence
It's huge...
[18:44] Hobgoblin
We'll return the children. Begone, humans.
[18:48] Dayland
My.
[18:50] Dayland
It's rare to encounter
a goblin that can speak.
[18:57] Neema
Yikes!
[18:59] Dayland
I'll have you return Nefertima to us.
[19:02] Dayland
It's time for children to be in bed.
[19:07] Neema
So scary! He's terrifying!
[19:08] Neema
That's not the papa I know!
[19:31] Dayland
I knew you were in there.
[19:32] Dayland
Come out this instant, Nefertima!
[19:34] Sign
YIKES
[19:36] Neema
He totally had me figured out!
[19:37] Neema
Maybe my best option is to just apologize...
[19:42] Neema
You won't get mad? You won't use any magic?
[19:45] Dayland
I will neither use magic nor get mad.
You have my word.
[19:56] Neema
I'm sorry.
[19:58] Dayland
I'm not exactly sure why you're apologizing,
[20:01] Dayland
but hurry up and come over here
to put me at ease.
[20:09] Neema
Father!
SIGN Let's shoot a huge fireball.
[20:16] Cadence
Three shots.
[20:18] Neema
Sol, protect them!
[20:30] Neema
I won't let you kill them!
[20:32] Dayland
Why are you protecting the goblins?
[20:34] Neema
They were just used by the humans!
[20:37] Dayland
Used?
[20:38] Neema
They were chased out by humans and
had no choice but to end up here!
[20:46] Neema
Please, Father! Listen to what I have to say!
[20:53] Dayland
Very well. If you insist, Neema.
[20:57] Neema
Really?
[20:58] Dayland
Yes.
[20:59] Neema
Thank you!
[21:02] Neema
Pino, Nino, are you hurt?
[21:05] Pino
We're fine. You seem okay too, Neema.
[21:09] Nino
Isn't your father a bit too scary?
[21:14] Neema
Nox?
[21:18] Neema
That cry is to let us know danger's nearby.
[21:25] Neema
Something's there...
[21:28] Dayland
Most of the reports seem to be about goblins.
[21:31] Dayland
There have also been reports of kobolds
and, very rarely...
[21:35] Neema
Sol, I need some light.
[21:37] Sol
Understood.
[21:43] Cadence
Please stand back!
[21:52] Pino
Nino!
[21:54] Dayland
That's...
[21:57] Dayland
a frost spider!

a frost spider!
[00:10] Dayland
Neema, come here.
[00:15] Neema
I can sense it...
It's feeling starved and panicked.
[00:18] Neema
I can tell that it's hungry.
[00:21] Neema
But why is it panicky?
[00:28] Dayland
Neema!
[00:29] Dayland
You mustn't interfere.
[00:32] Dayland
This is his battle.
[01:08] Neema

[01:14] Neema
Wow!
[01:16] Neema
Even though he's a huge
hobgoblin capable of speech,

to the frost spider, he's just food.

[03:29] Neema
If he actually loses here,
[03:33] Neema
Papa will probably incinerate them
without a second thought.
[03:38] Neema
It's so that we humans can survive...
[03:42] Neema
I get that. It's just another form
of the survival of the fittest.
[03:47] Neema
But...
[04:18] Hobgoblin
I managed to avoid being crushed
because of that ultimate cheat
[04:22] Hobgoblin
or whatever you put on me.
[04:24] Hobgoblin
Thank you.
[04:31] Neema
There it is again.
[04:35] Neema
I'm getting a very strong sense of panic.
[04:39] Neema
What's making you feel that way...?
[04:45] Frost Spider
Help... me...
[04:48] Neema
You need help?
[04:50] Frost Spider
Want to... protect my child...
[04:54] Neema
Your child? You have a child?
[05:02] Neema
I see. It's because she was pregnant.
[05:06] Neema
That's why she was so panicked.
[05:10] Neema
She needed to eat lots and lots,
[05:12] Neema
but the ecosystem has been messed up
since the goblins arrived.
[05:18] Neema
She couldn't catch any food...
[05:22] Neema
She's a victim too.
[05:24] Neema
I'm so sorry.
[05:26] Neema
I don't like God,
but let me pray just this once.
[05:34] Neema
If she goes to the afterlife
and maybe another life after...
[05:39] Neema
Please let her live in peace.
[05:45] Dayland
Neema...
[05:50] Neema
I know.
[05:55] Neema
No matter the situation,
only the strongest will survive.
[05:59] Neema
I can't change that just
because I want to be selfish.
[06:09] Neema
If it was possible to save her,
I really wish I could have.
[06:12] Neema
But I didn't.
[06:16] Neema
I was too scared of the
responsibility of saving her.
[06:25] Neema
I want to become stronger...
[06:27] Neema
So that every living creature can
live happily where they belong.
[06:32] Neema
It doesn't matter how. I just
want to be able to help them.
[06:43] Dayland
Have you calmed down a bit?
[06:46] Neema
Yeah.
[06:55] Neema
The hobgoblin...
[07:18] Neema
Wh-Who might you be?!
[07:20] Dayland
He must've evolved.
[07:21] Sign
Evolved?
[07:22] Neema
Evolved?
[07:24] Neema
Are you the hobgoblin?
[07:26] Shinki
Yeah. What happened?
[07:29] Neema
I'd like to know that myself!
[07:31] Neema
I guess even he has no idea.
[07:36] Neema
I know!
[07:37] Neema
I can always count on Sol!
[07:39] Neema
Sol! It looks like the hobgoblin
may have evolved or something?
[07:45] Sol
Evolved?
[07:46] Sol
The highest order of goblin species
is the hobgoblin,
[07:49] Sol
so it cannot evolve any further.
[07:51] Neema
Say what now?!
[07:53] Neema
But, but he sorta looks human now!
[07:55] Neema
And he's got some horns.
[07:57] Sol
Horns?
[07:58] Sol
I do know that the oni who live in Wazhite
possess human bodies and horns.
[08:06] Neema
Oni?!
[08:07] Sol
I'd like to see him for myself.
[08:09] Sol
At long last, I shall visit you
in person tomorrow.
[08:12] Dayland
What did the great dragon say?
[08:14] Neema
He wants to see for himself,
so he'll come tomorrow.
[08:18] Neema
Hmm...
[08:21] Neema
I mean, I guess he looks like an oni, but he
seems much flashier than the Japanese ones.
[08:26] Dayland
G-Get the hobgoblin some clothes!
[08:40] Neema
Lemme see!
[08:42] Neema
There.
[08:44] Shinki
Oh!
[08:47] Neema
Thank you so much for saving us!
[08:52] Dayland
Neema! It's time for little girls
to be in bed!
[08:54] Dayland
More importantly, get away from him!
[08:56] Dayland
Get away from him this instant! No! Bad!
[09:06] Neema
What would you like to do?
Wanna come with me?
[09:09] Neema
Or would you like to stay in this
forest where your mommy lived?
[09:15] Neema
I wonder if it isn't sure...
[09:21] Neema
Aw, so cute!
[09:23] Neema
Your name's going to be Gratia.
[09:25] Neema
Your lovely mother made me stronger
and protected you,
[09:29] Neema
and gratia is what I want to tell her.
[09:31] Neema
It means "thank you."
[09:33] Neema
It's nice to meet you, Gratia.
[09:41] Neema
H-Huh?
[09:43] Neema
Did I do something I wasn't
supposed to again...?
[09:56] Neema
That feels much better!
[10:00] Shinki
Start loading up the parts that are ready.
[10:04] Shinki
We'll be reusing her carapace,
so make sure you handle it with care.
[10:08] Shinki
You there. Mind her venomous fangs.
[10:11] Neema
Hey, hey!
[10:13] Neema
Will you free the human adults now, too?
[10:16] Shinki
Yeah, sure.
[10:17] Neema
Really?
[10:19] Shinki
Well, if we're going along with
your plan, they'd be a burden.
[10:23] Neema
Thanks!
[10:25] Nino
Neema! Morning.
[10:27] Neema
Good morning, Nino and Pino.
[10:30] Pino
Good morning...
[10:41] Pino
Don't worry about it.
[10:49] Neema
We can eat breakfast over there.
[10:53] Pino
Nino, let's go eat.
[10:56] Nino
Yeah!
[10:58] Neema
They're like angels.
[11:01] Cadence
My lady.
[11:03] Cadence
This little one's all better now.
[11:06] Neema
Thank you!
[11:08] Cadence
No problem.
[11:09] Neema
Amazing! His healing magic worked perfectly!
[11:13] Neema
So fluffy!
[11:15] Neema
Father, this little one...
[11:18] Dayland
Neema, you're smart, so you know how
much responsibility owning a pet is.
[11:24] Neema
Of course I do!
[11:26] Dayland
I think it's best for it
to stay where it belongs.
[11:31] Neema
Does that mean I can't keep it?
[11:35] Dayland
When wild animals are kept by humans,
it distorts their disposition.
[11:39] Dayland
They might lose their guard or become
unable to find food on their own.
[11:44] Dayland
Think of the distortion as ripples on water.
[11:48] Neema
Ripples?
[11:49] Dayland
If you take that rabbit home with you,
[11:51] Dayland
it will form a small ripple in the world.
[11:54] Dayland
That ripple will continue on forever,
bumping into other ripples
[11:59] Dayland
and swallowing them or getting swallowed up.
[12:02] Dayland
It will affect the world.
[12:05] Dayland
Every single day, countless ripples form.
[12:08] Dayland
All such phenomena shape this world.
[12:12] Dayland
It doesn't matter how big or small they are.
[12:15] Dayland
They all impact the world in some fashion.
[12:21] Dayland
And someday, they end up coming back to us.
[12:25] Dayland
So the fewer ripples in the world, the better.
[12:28] Dayland
When there are no ripples, that means
the world is at peace. Understand?
[12:37] Dayland
No matter what, you will be the
center of a ripple, Neema.
[12:41] Dayland
So it's best to be cautious, okay?
[12:45] Neema
How rude! I'm content just being
able to pet and fluff all the floofs.
[12:49] Neema
I mean, if someone got in my way,
[12:51] Neema
I'd take advantage of Papa's authority
or Sol's cheaty magic to destroy them.
[12:57] Neema
Wait. Is that the kind
of thinking that's wrong?
[13:01] Neema
Oh well.
[13:03] Neema
I'm sorry we hurt you.
Let's play again sometime.
[13:11] Neema
Aw, I'm so lonely...
[13:17] Neema
That's right.
[13:18] Neema
I have Nox with me, Dee waiting at home,
and I'll be able to see Sol later.
[13:27] Dayland
What's wrong?
[13:29] Neema
Father, you see...
Well, there's this little one.
[13:36] Dayland
Neema! That's not even an
animal! It's a monster!
[13:40] Dayland
Furthermore, the fact that it's
black means it's one of a kind!
[13:43] Neema
Oh, right. The color black
isn't very good in his world.
[13:47] Shinki
Do you know the difference
between an animal and monster?
[13:50] Neema
It's whether they have their own
thoughts or not, right?
[13:53] Neema
That's right. Mister Dan mentioned before
[13:55] Neema
that animals and monsters are separated
by how well they can think.
[14:00] Shinki
Is that how humans see it?
[14:04] Shinki
In short, monsters are failures.
They're defective.
[14:10] Neema
Defective?
[14:11] Shinki
Yes. Goblins are defective
versions of humans.
[14:16] Shinki
Frost spiders are defective spiders.
[14:19] Shinki
That's why most monsters are weak.
[14:23] Shinki
In order for one to get stronger,
it must be given a name.
[14:27] Shinki
That frost spider probably also had a name.
[14:30] Neema
A name?
[14:32] Shinki
If you're given a name by someone powerful,
[14:34] Shinki
the world recognizes you as an individual.
[14:37] Shinki
Then you can use magic
and receive blessings from spirits.
[14:42] Neema
Huh... I see.
[14:44] Neema
There's also the True Name Vow...
Names must be really important in this world.
[14:49] Neema
So what's your name?
[14:51] Neema
It must be pretty impressive!
[14:54] Shinki
I don't have one.
[14:55] Neema
What?! When you're that strong?!
[14:59] Shinki
Honestly, I'm jealous of this one.
[15:03] Shinki
It has a mark on its forehead,
meaning it's been named.
[15:08] Neema
Her name is Gratia!
[15:11] Dayland
Neema!
[15:12] Neema
I didn't mean to do anything bad!
[15:15] Dayland
Then so be it.
I guess we're taking her with us.
[15:20] Neema
Isn't that great?
SIGN Your Grace, we're all set.
[15:26] Dayland
Good.
[15:33] Dayland
All right, let's go.
[15:35] Neema
After that, because the former
hobgoblin was leaving,
[15:39] Neema
I had Sol cast a protective
spell on the cave.
[15:45] Neema
The hobgoblin took extra care to
tell the goblins not to go outside
[15:50] Neema
because we wouldn't be able
to help if anything happened.
[15:56] Neema
With everything that happened,
our party grew bigger than when we started...
[16:01] Neema
But it's all happily ever after, and we're
returning to the village at long last!
[16:13] Neema
Thank goodness. What house do you two live in?
[16:16] Pino
We actually live in the Ireiga Proxy nearby.
[16:21] Dayland
Wait, are you two Earl Ireiga's children?
[16:24] Pino
Yes.
[16:25] Nino
Ireiga is our family name.
[16:28] Dayland
I see. Then we'll have to make sure
you're escorted safely.
[16:35] Dayland
I'll also send a messenger pigeon,
[16:37] Dayland
but you should head home as soon as possible.
[16:40] Pino
Yes, sir.
[16:41] Neema
Pino, Nino, be careful.
[16:44] Pino
We will. Thank you.
[16:47] Neema
Nino?
[16:50] Neema
D-Does she hate me?! Why?!
[16:53] Pino
You sure about this? You're the one
who'll regret it later, Nino.
[16:59] Nino
Why don't you... sometime?
[17:02] Neema
Come again? Do what sometime?
[17:10] Nino
Hey, what are you doing, Pino?!
[17:13] Pino
It's because you're being difficult, Nino!
[17:19] Pino
I-I said, why don't you...
[17:27] Pino
come to our house sometime?
You can come over and play.
[17:33] Pino
Wh-What? Y-You don't have to
come over if you don't want to!
[17:39] Neema
What a tsundere.
[17:41] Nino and Pino
Huh?
[17:46] Neema
Yeah, I'll definitely come by to play.
[17:52] Nino
Hey! What are you doing?! Get off of me!
[17:56] Neema
Nope!
[17:57] Nino
I said get off!
[17:59] Neema
Nope, nope, nope, nope!
[18:01] Nino
Hey!
[18:10] Neema
He's so perfectly smooth!
Sol's scales are the best!
[18:15] Sol
He's different from any oni I've ever seen.
[18:18] Sol
There are also remnants of elemental power.
[18:20] Neema
I wonder if I can nap with Sol today.
[18:23] Neema
Will I go for the classic
using his tummy as a pillow,
[18:25] Neema
or should I use his wing as a blanket?
[18:28] Sol
Are you listening, child?
[18:30] Neema
Hmm. Decisions, decisions...
[18:32] Sol
Heed me, Neema!
[18:38] Neema
H-He startled me! And called me by my name!
[18:44] Neema
Thanks!
[18:45] Sol
This one is not an oni.
Oni cannot use elemental powers.
[18:51] Neema
Elemental powers?
[18:53] Neema
That's what the holy beasts use, right?
[18:56] Neema
Can you see spirits or anything?
[18:58] Shinki
If these translucent bug-looking
creatures count, then yes.
[19:03] Neema
Bugs?
[19:04] Neema
Then can you use elemental powers?
[19:07] Shinki
Maybe if I knew how.
[19:09] Sol
I shall show you.
[19:13] Neema
Let's see... What would make a good target?
SIGN My lady.
SIGN Here is a clay doll created with earth magic. Will this work?
[19:31] Neema
Yay! Thank you!
[19:34] Neema
Here's your target! Give it a try!
[19:36] Shinki
Defeat that clay doll.
[19:44] Neema
W-Wow... It completely fell apart.
[19:49] Dayland
Fire elemental power?
And you can conjure it remotely?
[19:54] Sol
All he said to the fire spirit was,
"Defeat that clay doll."
[19:59] Neema
Can you do other elements as well?
[20:03] Neema
In the end...
[20:05] Neema
He was able to use wind,
[20:09] Neema
water,
[20:13] Sign
sparkly
[20:13] Sign
Somehow
made him
[20:13] Neema
and earth too!
[20:15] Neema
He was able to use them all!
Talk about cheating.
[20:19] Neema
Elemental powers, huh?
They might prove useful in that one plan.
[20:23] Dayland
Huh? That one plan?
[20:27] Neema
I haven't told Papa about it yet!
[20:31] Neema
Um... I figured out a way for humans
and monsters to live peacefully together.
[20:36] Neema
I would like for you to help me out, Father.
[20:39] Neema
I'll tell you the details later, okay?
[20:42] Dayland
All right, sure.
[20:46] Neema
More importantly...
[20:47] Neema
You're a new creature now!
[20:51] Neema
Let's see... How about Shinki?
[20:55] Shinki
Shinki?
[20:57] Neema
Written with the kanji
for "forest" and "oni"!
[20:59] Neema
I am so awesome at naming things.
[21:11] Dayland
Neema...
[21:12] Neema
Y-You've got it all wrong!
[21:13] Neema
That's not his name! It's his species!
[21:17] Sol
So this is how you keep gaining
more servants to serve you.
[21:20] Neema
Nuh-uh!
[21:22] Neema
Damn that God! He's definitely enjoying this!
[21:26] Neema
Sorry for giving you a name without asking.
[21:30] Shinki
It's all right. I was going to ask you anyway.
[21:33] Neema
Huh?
[21:34] Shinki
Because you're the one who showed us the way.
[21:41] Shinki
The goblins led by me, Shinki,
will all swear fealty to you, Nefertima.
[21:46] Shinki
And because you gave me my name,
you are my master.
[21:54] Neema
I-Is this okay?
[21:57] Neema
Either way...
[22:00] Neema
It's good to have you, Shinki.

[00:00] Neema
So, Father, about what I was saying concerning
humans and monsters living together...
[00:07] Neema
The main issue is that the monsters
are losing their places to live, right?
[00:12] Neema
So we just have to make new places.
[00:15] Dayland
Hmm...
[00:17] Neema
We could put up a barrier
on a mountain where no one lives,
[00:19] Neema
then have all the monsters who've
lost their homes move in there.
[00:23] Neema
And if the monsters overpopulate,
[00:27] Neema
we'll make it a training area
for the adventurers' guild
[00:31] Neema
We can cover the expenses by placing inns
and shops at the base of the mountain.
[00:35] Neema
Then we'll have adventurers and monsters
keep each other in check.
[00:40] Neema
What do you think?
[00:41] Neema
Talk about the most cliché RPG setup...
[00:44] Dayland
We'd run the risk of the monsters
killing humans that way...
[00:47] Neema
Yes, and the opposite too.
[00:49] Neema
But that's all a part
of the struggle to survive,
[00:51] Neema
and we can explain as much
to the adventurers.
[00:54] Dayland
I see.
[00:56] Dayland
This plan is rather naïve,
but I'll give it some thought.
[01:01] Neema
Thank you.
[01:04] Neema
Maybe I'll scout some potential locations
[01:06] Neema
for my plan while we're on this inspection.

Episode 7 I Believe I Can Be of Some Service
[02:40] Dayland
Now then, we'll be heading
to our next inspection destination,
[02:43] Dayland
and I'd like for you to come, Shinki.
[02:46] Dayland
Your elemental powers may be a great help,
[02:49] Dayland
and you must be knowledgeable
about monsters.
[02:53] Shinki
I don't mind going, but I'm worried
about leaving the nest for too long.
[02:58] Neema
I'm the one with the orb, and we
can't keep that barrier up forever.
[03:03] Shinki
All right. How about this?
[03:05] Shinki
We'll have these spirits protect the nest.
[03:08] Shinki
Master, please give the next
strongest goblin a name.
[03:12] Shinki
Then they can protect the nest
alongside the spirits, and I can rest easy.
[03:17] Neema
Huh?! Why me?!
[03:19] Neema
Also, why did you just call me "Master"?!
[03:22] Shinki
Well, you're my master since you named me,
which makes you the leader of our horde.
[03:27] Neema
But Shinki is a friend.
[03:29] Neema
And being called "Master"
is really embarrassing.
[03:32] Neema
Can't you just treat me like a lady?
[03:34] Shinki
Very well. I shall call you
my lady from now on.
[03:42] Neema
She's the next strongest goblin after you?
[03:45] Shinki
She is.
[03:46] Neema
I'm surprised it's a girl!
[03:47] Female Goblin
Leader... you called?
[03:49] Neema
She can talk?!
[03:51] Shinki
Yes. She's my right hand.
[03:55] Shinki
She'll probably evolve
after a few more hunting trips.
[03:58] Neema
She'll evolve...?
[04:02] Neema
No, maybe female hobgoblins are cute.
[04:08] Neema
Let's give you a cute name, okay?
[04:13] Neema
So, what do you like?
[04:23] Neema
You like flowers?
[04:25] Neema
I see...
[04:27] Neema
That looks like a lily of the valley,
or suzuran.
[04:30] Neema
Suzuko! Your name's Suzuko.
[04:33] Suzuko
Su...zu...ko?
[04:36] Neema
Yup, you got it!
[04:42] Neema
Yay! From now on, you're Suzuko!
[04:51] Shinki
My lady, he would like a name as well.
[04:55] Suzuko
No! He's weak! No!
[05:01] Neema
Why does he want a name?
[05:05] Shinki
Ah...
[05:06] Shinki
Apparently, his last horde
was all but wiped out.
[05:10] Shinki
He says he'd like to be stronger
so that he can protect his current one.
[05:16] Shinki
But just as Suzuko pointed out, he's weak.
[05:19] Shinki
There's not much hope for him
even if he gets a name.
[05:22] Neema
Oh no...
[05:25] Neema
But giving up on him because
he may not grow is kinda...
[05:29] Neema
Okay, if you can keep this promise,
I'll give you a name.
[05:33] Neema
You must be able to hunt giant boars
by yourself by the time we come back.
[05:39] Neema
You're so small that you could die
if they happen to body slam you.
[05:43] Neema
There's no guarantee you'll survive.
[05:45] Neema
Would you work hard even so?
[05:47] Neema
Honestly, this is partly a threat.
[05:50] Neema
I'll get to see if he's serious.
[05:55] Neema
Then I guess it's decided!
[05:56] Neema
As for a name that suits him
and will hopefully make him stronger...
[06:00] Neema
Hmm...
[06:01] Neema
I know! Let's go with Touki,
which means "fighting ogre"!
[06:04] Sign
TOUKI
[06:06] Neema
Your name will be Touki!
[06:13] Neema
Let's both do our best.
[06:18] Neema
And then, I gave Sol head pats
because I summoned him by accident.
[06:23] Neema
That's how we got so close!
[06:26] Shinki
You're surrounded by so many
people and creatures, my lady.
[06:29] Neema
Yes!
[06:30] Neema
Father, Mother,
my big brother, my big sister,
[06:35] Neema
Dee, Nox, everyone at home,
and everyone at the palace...
[06:40] Neema
I love them all!
[06:43] Shinki
I had an older brother as well...
Though he died battling the humans.
[06:49] Neema
Shinki...
[06:53] Neema
You're part of my circle
of friends now too, Shinki.
[07:00] Shinki
Thank you, my lady.
[07:05] Dayland
We're headed to the town
of Cass in the Parzeth Proxy next.
[07:09] Dayland
It'll take a while to get there,
[07:11] Dayland
so I was hoping you'd be able
to enlighten us on the way, Shinki.
[07:16] Shinki
All right.
[07:17] Dayland
I'm currently compiling eyewitness
reports of monsters.
[07:22] Dayland
Could you tell me about the route
you traveled as you were fleeing?
[07:26] Dayland
I'd be interested in any
of its defining features.
[07:31] Shinki
Far down the path, there were
three connecting mountains.
[07:35] Dayland
I see. Mountains, you say?
[07:37] Shinki
And a very rough river.
[07:39] Dayland
Got it.
[07:41] Dayland
Thank you.
I think I've managed to sort this out.
[07:46] Dayland
These mark all the recent reported sightings.
[07:50] Neema
Huh?
[07:51] Neema
The Osphe domain is bleeding red!
[07:53] Dayland
I can't be certain until I
gather more information,
[07:57] Dayland
but this trouble with the monsters
may be man-made.
[08:01] Dayland
We need to investigate thoroughly.
[08:05] Dayland
I'm sorry, but after the inspection in Cass,
[08:08] Dayland
I shall return to the royal capital.
[08:09] Neema
What? You're going home?
[08:11] Neema
Why?!
[08:13] Neema
I wanted to scout out locations for my plan!
[08:16] Dayland
I've asked Ralf to come fill in for me.
[08:19] Neema
Ralf?!
[08:20] Dayland
He'll eventually take over the domain,
[08:22] Dayland
so I'm having him make
the rounds on my behalf.
[08:25] Dayland
You should be able to meet
up with him in Cass.
[08:29] Dayland
Look, we can see it now.
[08:31] Dayland
This is the town of Cass.
[08:35] Important Person A
Thank you for coming!
[08:37] Important Person B
You must be tired from your
long journey. Right this way.
[08:41] Neema
There's somewhere I want to see...
[08:41] Important Person A
We've a meal prepared for you.
[08:43] Important Person B
Please, come with us.
[08:45] Neema
Now's my chance!
[08:47] Neema
There! A sign for the adventurers' guild!
[08:50] Neema
They'll be helping me out with my plan,
[08:53] Neema
so I wanted to check them out.
[08:57] Neema
This definitely isn't what I was imagining.
[09:00] Neema
Sorta looks like an employment
agency from my past life.
[09:04] Ariabelle
Hello there. How can I help you?
[09:09] Ariabelle
O-Oh my...
[09:12] Neema
Does she know Shinki's a monster?!
[09:14] Ariabelle
Beastpeople aren't common in these parts,
[09:17] Ariabelle
so you might not want to linger for long.
[09:20] Neema
She has no idea! We're safe.
[09:23] Shinki
I'll leave as soon as my lady is done here.
[09:25] Ariabelle
W-Wait, your lady? This young girl?
[09:28] Neema
Yeah, I get that reaction.
[09:30] Neema
My apologies. I just wanted to see
what the guild hall looked like.
[09:35] Ariabelle
You don't have one where you're from?
[09:38] Neema
The guild hall in the royal capital
is far from where I live,
[09:41] Neema
so I don't really get to go there.
[09:43] Ariabelle
Ah, I see.
[09:45] Ariabelle
Then I'll show you around a little.
[09:48] Ariabelle
My name is Ariabelle,
but you can call me Belle.
[09:51] Neema
I'm Neema, and this is Shinki!
Nice to meet you!
[09:57] Ariabelle
These are our private reception booths.
[10:00] Ariabelle
We offer various quests to our
adventurers based on their ranks.
[10:04] Ariabelle
To make sure no one overhears the details,
we use soundproofing magic.
[10:08] Neema
You do?
[10:09] Ariabelle
Apparently when the guild
was first established,
[10:12] Ariabelle
reward swiping was rampant.
[10:15] Neema
Huh?
[10:16] Ariabelle
Folks would cash in on quests other
adventurers had completed for the reward
[10:21] Ariabelle
because more than one person
could take a job.
[10:25] Neema
That's so evil!
[10:27] Ariabelle
Of course, it becomes a trust issue.
[10:30] Ariabelle
Who wants anyone who does that
to call themselves an adventurer?
[10:34] Ariabelle
So, ever since then,
we've used magic to prevent it.
[10:37] Ariabelle
The adventurers' guild is very
strict about wrongdoing.
[10:40] Neema
Oho...
[10:41] Neema
I guess things are better now.
[10:45] Healran
What's that supposed to mean?!
[10:46] Healran
Is the guild just going to sit by
and ignore this injustice?!
[10:50] Neema
Wh-What in the world?
[10:54] Healran
Is the guild just going to sit by
and ignore this injustice?!
[10:58] Healran
Three times the standard reward
just to clear a small goblin horde?
[11:02] Healran
The mayor put this job up
and his son accepted it!
[11:03] Neema
Wh-What about the soundproofing magic?
[11:05] Neema
I guess he's yelling outside the booth...
[11:05] Healran
Clearly, the mayor is just
lining his own pockets!
[11:09] Guild Staff
The mayor is just doing
what's best for the town...
[11:12] Healran
What are you saying?!
[11:13] Healran
He's pocketing the restitution for
any casualties caused by monsters!
[11:17] Neema
This all sounds really fishy...
[11:20] Healran
Why isn't anyone taking this seriously?!
[11:20] Neema
Miss Belle, who is that?
[11:25] Ariabelle
His name is Healran Dewitt.
[11:25] Healran
What's going on?!
[11:27] Guild Staff
I'm not sure what else I can say...
[11:27] Ariabelle
He's one of the town chairmen.
[11:28] Ariabelle
He's very good at his job
but doesn't get along with the mayor.
[11:32] Guild Staff
Please, calm down.
[11:32] Neema
Can't the guild do something?
[11:35] Ariabelle
Most of the staff are locals,
[11:38] Ariabelle
so when they're told it's best for the town...
[11:40] Neema
They're supposedly strict on wrongdoing,
but this place is so small
[11:44] Neema
that they go easy on one of their own...
[11:46] Ariabelle
Apparently, he used to work at the palace.
[11:50] Ariabelle
Maybe that's why he just
can't let stuff like this slide.
[11:54] Neema
He's from the palace?
What's he doing out here in the country?
[12:00] Guild Staff
Please, you're going to disturb others
out here, so kindly return to the booth.
[12:06] Healran
But if we turn a blind eye...
[12:13] Neema
Could you tell me more about it, sir?
[12:18] Healran
I've no time for children.
[12:20] Neema
Wh-What'd he just say?!
[12:23] Neema
Ahem. Oh, I see.
[12:26] Neema
And here I thought I could be
of some service, but oh well.
[12:31] Healran
What do you mean by that?
[12:33] Neema
Eek!
[12:35] Neema
I know the duke of this domain...
[12:37] Healran
You know the duke?
[12:41] Neema
My name is Nefertima Osphe.
[12:43] Neema
I'm the second daughter of Dayland Osphe.
[12:46] Neema
Depending on what it is, I may be able
to relay this matter to my father.
[12:49] Neema
What do you say?
[12:51] Healran
Wha...
[12:52] Ariabelle
You're the duke's daughter?!
[12:55] Neema
Well, let's hear it.
[12:58] Neema
What exactly is going on in this town?
[13:04] Healran
I apologize for my rudeness earlier.
[13:07] Healran
I'm Healran Dewitt,
the financial auditor of this town.
[13:13] Neema
The financial auditor?
[13:15] Neema
The guy who makes sure all financial
accounts and reports are done right?
[13:19] Neema
Let's get right down to business.
Can you tell me more about the mayor?
[13:24] Healran
I beg your pardon,
[13:25] Healran
but this may be difficult
for someone your age to follow.
[13:29] Neema
Yeah, I can't blame him for thinking that.
[13:31] Neema
Well, I'm smart enough to accompany
my father on inspections.
[13:36] Healran
Very well. Are you aware of the steep
rise in monster attacks lately?
[13:42] Neema
Yes.
[13:43] Healran
There's been an increase
in the Parzeth Proxy as well,
[13:46] Healran
but in Cass specifically,
we've barely had more than last year.
[13:50] Healran
A few people have been injured,
but the mayor grossly exaggerates.
[13:54] Healran
He made false reports claiming fatalities,
[13:56] Healran
and he pocketed the five gold
coins sent as restitution.
[14:00] Neema
Five gold coins? So about five million yen?
[14:04] Neema
Okay, so we're dealing with your
typical small-time villain.
[14:08] Neema
Have you beseeched the knights?
[14:10] Healran
When there were goblin sightings,
[14:12] Healran
we sent out a subjugation
request immediately,
[14:14] Healran
but for certain reasons,
the knights couldn't come.
[14:16] Neema
Certain reasons?
[14:18] Healran
That was when the townsfolk were harmed.
[14:21] Healran
Beyond that, the mayor's been doing things
like inflating the cost of infrastructure.
[14:26] Neema
Have you any proof of this?
[14:30] Healran
Yes. I've witnessed him gleefully
keeping a secret ledger.
[14:34] Neema
Yeesh, okay. Well, as long as there's
evidence, the rest is up to Papa.
[14:40] Neema
Would you swear on your name to as much
[14:42] Neema
and repeat it before my father?
[14:46] Healran
Yes!
[14:49] Neema
Very well.
[14:51] Neema
I have but one concern.
[14:53] Neema
Do you happen to know why the
knighthood couldn't make it here?
[14:58] Healran
Yes. West of here lies the biggest
city in the Parzeth Proxy, Lenice.
[15:04] Healran
The Manoa Highway runs through it
and is integral to trade,
[15:09] Healran
but it's been hit relentlessly
by kobold robberies.
[15:13] Neema
Kobolds?!
[15:14] Neema
And that's what's keeping them busy?
[15:17] Healran
The kobolds are many in number
[15:19] Healran
and move in a very organized manner.
[15:22] Healran
At one point, Lenice itself was in danger.
[15:25] Healran
So most of the knights in this region have
been deployed and are unable to come.
[15:32] Ariabelle
Lady Nefertima?
[15:34] Neema
If they're organized,
that must mean they have a leader.
[15:37] Neema
If all goes well, I may be able to pull
in the kobolds into my plan, too!
[15:42] Neema
Yes! We welcome the puppers!
[15:46] Shinki
What does "welcome the puppers" mean?
[15:48] Neema
Huh?! Hey, don't go reading my mind!
[15:51] Shinki
You said that very out loud.
[15:53] Neema
Ahem, anyway... Healran, you should
come with me to see my father.
[15:59] Healran
R-Right.
[16:00] Neema
I have a favor to ask, Shinki.
[16:03] Neema
I need you to convince the goblin hordes
around here to do something.
[16:07] Shinki
Of what?
[16:08] Neema
To join you... Or rather,
to band together under Suzuko.
[16:13] Shinki
Understood.
[16:14] Neema
Also...
[16:17] Neema
Nox.
[16:19] Nox
Cheep.
[16:21] Nox
Cheep.
[16:22] Neema
There, there. Good girl.
[16:25] Neema
Find Father for me and give him this message.
[16:28] Nox
Cheep.
[16:30] Nox
Cheep!
[16:31] Neema
Make sure he comes to the mayor's house!
[16:35] Ariabelle
Um, you're going to the mayor's place, then?
[16:38] Ariabelle
I can take you there.
[16:40] Neema
But this isn't part of your job, Miss Belle.
[16:44] Ariabelle
As a part of this town,
I want to help somehow.
[16:47] Neema
All right. In that case, I'm counting on you!
[16:52] Neema
Has the mayor been in office for a long time?
[16:55] Ariabelle
Yes. I believe he's been the mayor since he
took over for the last one fifteen years ago.
[17:00] Neema
I wonder how long he's been embezzling...
[17:03] Healran
I believe it started about five years ago.
[17:06] Neema
Oh?
[17:06] Ariabelle
I'm surprised you'd know that.
[17:09] Ariabelle
Didn't you only come to town three years ago?
[17:13] Healran
Well, I checked past records.
[17:16] Healran
Apparently my predecessor
didn't do their job properly.
[17:20] Neema
Wow, I guess he really is adamant.
[17:24] Ariabelle
You can see it now. That's the mayor's house.
[17:28] Neema
Nox is there, too!
[17:30] Neema
Which means...
[17:35] Dayland
Wandering off without permission...
[17:37] Dayland
If you've got an excuse,
let's hear it, Nefertima.
[17:41] Neema
Angry Papa has arrived!
[17:43] Neema
I-I... should probably be honest
and apologize here, right?
[17:47] Neema
I'm sorry I worried you!
[17:50] Neema
I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble, too!
[17:53] Neema
I wanted to see the adventurers' guild.
[17:56] Dayland
Where's Shinki?
[17:57] Neema
He went to see the goblins causing trouble.
[18:02] Dayland
Nefertima...
[18:03] Dayland
Do you have any idea how
foolishly you've behaved?
[18:08] Dayland
It may have been too early to present
you to the world as a duke's daughter.
[18:14] Neema
Papa...
[18:15] Neema
Up until now,
[18:17] Neema
he'd tell me something was dangerous
or decline my request with good reason.
[18:21] Neema
But I've never seen him
this upset with me before.
[18:27] Neema
No! Papa has every right to be mad!
[18:30] Neema
The point of this trip was to observe
various parts of his domain.
[18:33] Neema
Even if I'm just tagging along,
I'm part of his party.
[18:37] Neema
And yet, not only did I run
off without his permission,
[18:40] Neema
I didn't even keep my guard with me.
[18:42] Neema
If something had happened to me,
[18:44] Neema
the ones who would've punished were
those tasked to protect me.
[18:48] Neema
How could I do something so selfish?
[18:51] Neema
Your status should be used
to protect those below you.
[18:54] Neema
That's what I've been taught...
[18:59] Ralf
Now, now, Father. Not even you
are allowed to make Neema cry.
[19:04] Neema
Ralf?
[19:06] Ralf
He can scold us both together,
so don't you worry.
[19:10] Dayland
Ralf! You made it here so soon?
[19:13] Neema
Ah, that's right...
[19:15] Neema
My older brother and sister
always take my side.
[19:19] Neema
No matter how wrong I am,
they always take the scolding with me.
[19:24] Neema
Oh no. Now that the nerves have passed,
the tears and snot won't stop...
[19:30] Wilhelt
Here, use this.
[19:31] Neema
Th-Thanks—
[19:35] Neema
What was that for?!
[19:39] Neema
Will?!
[19:40] Neema
Wh-Wha...
[19:42] Neema
Lars?
[19:47] Dayland
Good evening, Prince Wilhert.
[19:50] Healran
The prince?!
[19:51] Ariabelle
What?!
[19:55] Willhert
It's all right. At ease.
[19:59] Dayland
Your Highness, what brings you here?
[20:01] Wilhert
I just wrapped up some business,
[20:04] Wilhert
so I thought I'd play with
Nefertima and relax a bit,
[20:07] Wilhert
but Ralf told me she was accompanying you.
[20:10] Dayland
Does His Majesty know you're here?
[20:12] Wilhert
Yes. I've brought guards with me.
[20:15] Dayland
Very well. But if His Majesty asks
you to return, please do so.
[20:21] Neema
Papa's definitely not smiling on the inside.
[20:24] Dayland
By the way, Neema, who are these people?
[20:27] Neema
Oh, right!
[20:30] Neema
This is Healran,
this town's financial auditor.
[20:33] Neema
And this is Miss Ariabelle,
who helped me at the guild.
[20:36] Neema
There's something that Healran
would like to tell you, Father.
[20:41] Neema
He needs your help!
[20:44] Dayland
If that's the case,
[20:46] Dayland
it must be either as the
duke or the prime minister.
[20:49] Healran
Yes, Your Grace.
[20:51] Healran
I'd like to speak with you
about the mayor's embezzling.
[20:56] Dayland
What?!
[20:58] Dayland
Very well. Let us talk inside.
[21:02] Mayor
Oh, Your Grace!
[21:04] Dayand
Sorry for taking off.
[21:07] Mayor
Were you able to meet
with your acquaintance?
[21:10] Dayland
Yes, I was...
[21:12] Dayland
But apparently, these people
have something to say to you.
[21:15] Dayland
What's this I hear about embezzlement?
[21:19] Neema
After that, the adults had
a very difficult conversation
[21:23] Neema
about the mayor's embezzling
according to Healran's testimony.
[21:28] Neema
The mayor made a scene,
[21:31] Neema
but the only one who can win an
argument against Papa is Mama, so...
[21:35] Dayland
That's enough! You're finished!
[21:38] Neema
Now, one of Papa's trusty
subordinates is supposed to come.
[21:43] Neema
Until then, the mayor
[21:45] Neema
is being held under the watch
of the adventurers' guild.
[21:49] Neema
And that takes care of the
mayor's embezzlement schemes!
[21:53] Neema
Isn't that great, Healran?
[21:55] Neema
So now...
[21:58] Neema
I get to fully enjoy some well-deserved
fluffy paradise time!

[00:01] Dayland
This injustice came to light
because of all of you.
[00:05] Dayland
As duke, I thank you.
[00:07] Dayland
Especially you, Healran Dewitt.
[00:09] Dayland
Your insight and investigative
abilities are superb.
[00:12] Dayland
Won't you help me out at the palace?
[00:16] Healran
No, I have no plans to return
to working at the palace.
[00:20] Dayland
I see. That's a shame.
[00:22] Neema
Then come work for me!
[00:25] Neema
You too, Miss Belle!
[00:27] Dayland
Of course. That would be an option.
[00:30] Healran
What exactly?
[00:31] Dayland
Neema currently has a certain plan.
[00:34] Dayland
However, if you get involved,
[00:36] Dayland
there's a chance your lives will be at risk.
[00:39] Dayland
And for me to explain further,
[00:41] Dayland
I'll need you all to swear
a vow upon your names.
[00:47] Dayland
Of course, that includes
Your Highness as well.
[00:54] Will
I swear upon my name, Wilhelt Rega
Gaché, that I will not tell a soul.

Episode 8 A Lot's Been Decided
[02:35] Dayland
And that pretty much sums up Neema's plan.
[02:41] Will
I see.
[02:43] Will
Gathering the monsters
and making a settlement for them?
[02:45] Will
That's quite an outlandish idea.
[02:48] Ralf
Even the monsters appreciate
how cute Neema is.
[02:51] Neema
Ralf...
[02:52] Dayland
Since he'll be the next duke,
I'll be putting Ralf in charge.
[02:56] Ralf
I'm happy to help if it means
spending time with Neema.
[03:00] Will
I'll help out, too.
[03:01] Neema
Gah!
[03:02] Dayland
Your Highness, you have
official duties to attend to.
[03:06] Will
Naturally, I don't plan to ignore them.
[03:09] Will
I brought my work with me,
so I can assist as I see to it.
[03:12] Neema
Well, then I guess it's okay.
[03:14] Neema
What about you two?
[03:16] Healran
I accept.
[03:17] Ariabelle
Me too!
[03:19] Dayland
Then I'd like to go over the terms
of employment with you two.
[03:22] Nox
Cheep!
[03:23] Neema
That was Nox.
[03:25] Neema
Which means...
[03:27] Neema
Welcome back, Shinki!
[03:29] Sign
SHATTER
[03:30] Neema
How'd it go?
[03:31] Shinki
I worked things out with the local goblins.
[03:34] Neema
That's great!
[03:37] Ralf
Neema, care to introduce me to this fellow?
[03:41] Neema
Shinki used to be a hobgoblin before he
evolved into this mysterious creature!
[03:47] Ralf
A g-goblin?
[03:50] Ralf
How could you let this happen, Father?!
[03:53] Dayland
Shinki is bound by his true name.
[03:55] Dayland
Just think of him as Neema's bodyguard.
[03:59] Neema
Ralf can't object as long as Papa approves.
[04:03] Neema
So, Shinki, can you fill me in on the details?
[04:06] Shinki
Sure. The goblins that
were appearing around here
[04:09] Shinki
are a horde of sixteen led by a hobgoblin.
[04:12] Shinki
I tried to explain the plan,
but they didn't understand.
[04:15] Shinki
So I fought them and now they serve me.
[04:17] Shinki
The bugs are showing them the way,
[04:20] Shinki
so I'm sure they'll find the cave.
[04:21] Neema
Er, those "bugs" are spirits.
[04:25] Neema
I suppose we can say
the goblins are handled, then.
[04:28] Neema
Father, do you have any information
about the kobolds in Lenice?
[04:33] Dayland
There are reports of a large horde
and an attack on a caravan.
[04:39] Neema
Mr. Squad Leader!
[04:41] Neema
The reality is probably worse, right?
[04:44] Caelus
Yes.
[04:45] Caelus
There are around a hundred kobolds,
[04:47] Caelus
and apart from their main force,
they split into five groups.
[04:50] Caelus
Each one seems to have a specific duty,
such as guarding or scouting.
[04:54] Caelus
The groups are commanded by high kobolds,
[04:56] Caelus
and leading the main force is said
to be a werewolf of even higher rank.
[05:00] Dayland
A werewolf?! Where did you learn that?
[05:03] Caelus
We asked the adventurers'
guild for assistance.
[05:05] Caelus
Next, we'll be moving out
[05:07] Caelus
to Lenice next to take
corrective action on the matter.
[05:09] Neema
I beg your pardon,
but what is the person in charge like?
[05:13] Caelus
The person in charge?
[05:16] Dayland
Of course.
[05:17] Dayland
Someone may be stopping information
[05:19] Dayland
from reaching the royal capital.
[05:21] Caelus
I've heard that the regional commander
[05:24] Caelus
used to work at central headquarters
[05:27] Caelus
before being stationed here on reassignment.
[05:31] Neema
In other words, he got demoted.
[05:32] Neema
Though I guess that's not enough evidence...
[05:35] Dayland
The folks who attacked Shinki
were supposedly adventurers.
[05:38] Dayland
So they were either people posing as such,
[05:41] Dayland
or someone made a request of the guild.
[05:43] Dayland
Either way, the odds are increasingly likely
[05:46] Dayland
that our enemies are many and organized.
[05:48] Ariabelle
Excuse me...
[05:49] Ariabelle
Shall I check with the adventurers' guild?
[05:52] Ariabelle
I can find which office put out the request.
[05:54] Dayland
We'd be grateful,
[05:56] Dayland
but as long as we don't know where
the enemy may be hiding, it's dangerous.
[06:01] Will
You think there might be spies
in other provinces and the knighthood?
[06:06] Dayland
Yes. I believe that to be a probability.
[06:09] Neema
That means there are spies
everywhere, doesn't it?
[06:13] Neema
This whole situation might
be way worse than I thought.
[06:17] Ralf
Don't worry, Neema.
[06:20] Ralf
His Highness is always one step ahead.
[06:24] Neema
That's right. As a noblewoman,
I always need to be smiling.
[06:29] Neema
Of course!
[06:35] Dayland
Since we don't know where the enemy may be,
[06:38] Dayland
we'll need to refer to them by a name
that only we understand.
[06:42] Dayland
So henceforth, our enemy shall
be known as Runohark.
[06:45] Dayland
And we shall call the attack on the monsters
[06:47] Dayland
the Southern Province Incident.
[06:51] Neema
Um, runoharks are like...
that one insect from my past life, right?
[06:56] Neema
I see. This way, no one will bat an eye
[06:58] Neema
if we talk about eliminating
or being attacked by them.
[07:01] Dayland
I return to the capital tomorrow,
[07:03] Dayland
but Ralf will continue my inspection.
[07:06] Dayland
Can I ask that you continue
to protect him and company?
[07:08] Dayland
I know the knighthood serves the citizenry,
[07:11] Dayland
so I realize what I'm asking of you.
[07:17] Caelus
We believe that protecting
the Osphe family is the best thing
[07:20] Caelus
we can do for the people right now.
[07:24] Neema
Everyone...
[07:26] Neema
Thank you very much! I look
forward to working with all of you!
[07:30] Neema
Father, about us going to Lenice...
[07:35] Dayland
You won't listen even if I say no.
[07:39] Neema
Right! I want to include the
kobolds in my plan, too!
[07:43] Dayland
All right. The adults have some
things to discuss now. You go rest.
[07:48] Neema
Right! Lars!
[07:49] Neema
Let's nap together!
[07:51] Ralf
Not so fast, Neema.
[07:53] Ralf
Lars is Will's holy beast,
so you should nap with me instead.
[07:57] Neema
I'm going to nap with Lars!
[07:59] Ralf
Now, don't be difficult.
[08:01] Neema
Then...
[08:03] Neema
I'm gonna nap with Shinki!
[08:05] Sign
Irk
[08:06] Will
We'll just be borrowing Shinki for a bit.
[08:09] Ralf
There's lots I'd like to ask him.
[08:11] Neema
Yay!
[08:13] Neema
Okay, Lars. You sit here.
[08:19] Neema
Come on out, Gratia.
[08:23] Neema
Don't worry. He's not scary.
He's a premium floof!
[08:31] Neema
See?
[08:32] Neema
Okay, now it's my turn!
[08:35] Neema
Floof!
[08:38] Neema
Ah, that premium fluff... I'm so happy.
[08:42] Neema
Okay, tomorrow we set out
for Lenice to meet some kobolds!
[08:51] Will
Let's go over things once more
before we reach Lenice.
[08:54] Will
About Neema's plan...
[08:59] Will
Calling it that over and over is inconvenient.
[09:01] Will
Maybe we should give it a proper name.
[09:04] Ralf
Hmm, yes.
[09:06] Ralf
How about "Operation: Get Along with Monsters"?
[09:09] Neema
Ralf, that's unbearably lame!
[09:13] Neema
And don't forget the adventurers
will be a huge part of this!
[09:16] Will
Come on, now. Don't give
it such a stupid name, Ralf.
[09:21] Ralf
Then what's your brilliant idea?
[09:24] Will
Me?
[09:25] Will
Well...
[09:28] Will
How about "Project Shiana"?
[09:30] Neema
"Shiana"?
[09:32] Neema
That's not Larshian, is it?
[09:34] Will
In Celestian, it means strength and courage.
[09:38] Will
It seems the God of Divine Creation
has taken a liking to you.
[09:41] Sign
Badump
[09:42] Neema
Th-That's not true...
[09:44] Will
Lars, the great Sol, Shinki,
and that spider... Gratia, was it?
[09:50] Will
You have rather extraordinary
powers gathering around you.
[09:54] Will
Of course we're going to think
God brought them to you.
[09:59] Neema
It's not just me! God loves us all!
[10:03] Neema
That includes both you and Ralf!
[10:07] Will
I suppose.
[10:08] Will
Being of royal blood
makes us somewhat special.
[10:12] Will
I'm sure he cares
for us at least a little bit.
[10:15] Neema
Uh... Considering you have
Lars the ultimate floof,
[10:19] Neema
I'd bet he likes you a lot*.
[10:27] Karna
What?! You came home and left Neema?!
[10:30] Dayland
Yes, but Ralf is with her, so she's fine.
[10:33] Karna
Unbelievable.
[10:36] Karna
Neema is still only five years old!
[10:36] Sign
HISS!
[10:38] Karna
Do you understand how dangerous it is
for her outside of the royal capital?!
[10:42] Dayland
It's fine.
[10:43] Dayland
Both the fire dragon and Lars are with her.
[10:46] Dayland
She has other attendants now, too.
[10:48] Cerulia
So what's Neema plotting this time?
[10:52] Dayland
You really see through everything.
Truth is...
[10:56] Karna
That's when Mother and I learned*
about the countless monsters
[11:00] Karna
appearing in our domain
and that someone was behind it all.
[11:04] Karna
I don't believe this...
Monsters are also God's creations.
[11:09] SFX
MENACING
[11:09] Karna
And yet someone's using them
for their own benefit.
[11:12] Karna
What punishment will befall them?
[11:14] Karna
Just the thought makes me hope
they'll get their just deserts!
[11:17] Cerulia
Karna.
[11:18] Cerulia
You look just like Dayle when
he's thinking of something evil.
[11:23] Dayland
That's what I look like...?
[11:25] Cerulia
So, our daughter wants to create
a ranch for all of the monsters.
[11:30] Dayland
A ranch? Well, I guess
that's one way to put it.
[11:33] Cerulia
Then I'll start gathering staff for the ranch.
[11:38] Cerulia
I'll approach various guilds with the idea
[11:41] Cerulia
and select any promising individuals I find.
[11:44] Karna
I wonder what I should do...
[11:46] Karna
If I had an idea of how
Neema wanted to build this,
[11:48] Neema
I love you, Karna!
[11:50] Karna
I could begin collecting
materials and preparing.
[11:54] Karna
Father!
[11:55] Karna
I'd like to go see Neema.
[11:57] Dayland
I'd love to indulge you,
but the prince is with her.
[12:00] Dayland
The bodyguards are already maxed out.
[12:02] Karna
But—
[12:03] Cerulia
In that case, why don't we hire
bodyguards from the adventurers' guild?
[12:08] Dayland
The adventurers' guild?
[12:09] Cerulia
Yes. Coincidentally, we just
received a letter from Phillip.
[12:14] Karna
Oh, Uncle Phillip!
[12:16] Karna
I think the last time I saw him
was when Neema was born.
[12:21] Cerulia
He says he'll be arriving in the capital
tomorrow, so he'd love to see us all.
[12:25] Dayland
I see.
[12:26] Dayland
He was a close associate of mine
[12:29] Dayland
when I was an adventurer
to gain combat experience.
[12:31] Dayland
He's also one of the few
purple-ranked adventurers,
[12:35] Dayland
so he'd be a perfect instructor for Karna.
[12:38] Karna
Huh? An instructor?
[12:40] Dayland
Thinking of your future, you should at
least experience subjugating monsters.
[12:46] Karna
But... depending on what Father does,
we may also end up targets of this enemy.
[12:53] Karna
Sounds like fun!
[12:57] Dayland
There are many dangers
outside the royal capital.
[13:00] Dayland
Are you prepared for that?
[13:02] Karna
Yes! I'll take on anything!
[13:04] Karna
I must become stronger
so that I can stay by Neema's side.
[13:09] Cerulia
In that case, Karna,
prepare everything you'll need.
[13:12] Cerulia
There's no point if you don't do it for
yourself. Especially with your weapon.
[13:16] Karna
Right!
[13:18] Karna
Wait for me, Neema!
[13:20] Karna
I'm going to do my absolute best!
[13:29] Neema
This is Lenice?
[13:33] Neema
I wonder where the kobolds are.
[13:36] Neema
I want to see them already.
[13:39] Ralf
Neema.
[13:41] Ralf
Make sure you behave.
[13:43] Ralf
We don't know what may happen from here.
[13:45] Neema
R-Right...
[13:48] Neema
That's right. This is the front line
of the battle with the kobolds.
[13:56] Caelus
Prince Wilhelt and Duke Osphe's
children have arrived.
[14:02] Caelus
We request entry.
[14:05] Guard
One moment.
[14:17] Caelus
I beg your pardon. Your Highness,
the captain would like to greet you.
[14:22] Will
All right.
[14:24] Ralf
They probably want to confirm it's really you.
[14:26] Will
That's fine. I'm sure they're
desperate to protect their city.
[14:31] Ralf
You wait here, Neema.
[14:33] Neema
What?!
[14:41] Neema
Fine then!
[14:43] Neema
Wind spirits, fill me in
on what's going on outside.
[14:49] Will
Good work, men. At ease.
[14:51] Neema
I can hear Will's voice.
[14:54] Dylan
Sir!
[14:56] Will
I am traveling unannounced as a companion
of this gentleman, Ralfreed Osphe.
[15:01] Dylan
Greetings. I am Dylan Noctis,
[15:03] Dylan
commander of the Parzeth District Office
and member of the First Legion.
[15:07] Dylan
I do beg your pardon, but this area
is dangerous due to rogue kobolds.
[15:11] Dylan
You should probably leave
as soon as possible.
[15:15] Ralf
We are here on my father's orders.
[15:18] Ralf
I am monitoring the monster sightings
on behalf of the duke.
[15:22] Dylan
I-I see...
[15:26] Dylan
Very well. Then I shall show you
to the proxy lord.
[15:31] Neema
Sounds like things worked out!
[15:35] Ralf
I'm glad they believed us so quickly.
[15:38] Will
Of course they did.
[15:40] Neema
Those two are so in synch!
They'll be a lot of help.
[15:49] Sign
Run down...
[15:49] Parzeth
Thank you for coming all this way.
[15:53] Ralf
Marquis Parzeth, have you
been getting enough sleep?
[15:56] Parzeth
Well... We've had so many kobolds
appearing lately, so not really.
[16:01] Neema
Who's that other old guy?
[16:04] Neema
Is he the one who got demoted?
I guess he is wearing armor.
[16:10] Neema
More importantly...
[16:11] Neema
Whoever decorated this
room has terrible taste!
[16:15] Parzeth
Now, about dealing with these kobolds...
[16:18] Parzeth
The knights cannot keep up with them,
[16:21] Parzeth
so we've contacted the adventurers' guild.
[16:23] Parzeth
They're apparently putting together
an extermination squad.
[16:26] Ralf
When will they make their move?
[16:28] Parzeth
Once Red Hlaada arrives.
[16:32] Will
Hlaada?
[16:33] Will
I've heard of them before.
[16:35] Will
Though I think they were still
Blue Hlaada back then.
[16:39] Neema
Even the prince knows about this party?
[16:42] Neema
They must be really strong...
[16:45] Neema
Wait! That means they'll
wipe out all the kobolds!
[16:47] Neema
That can't happen!
[16:48] Neema
I need to make contact with the
kobolds before these people show up!
[16:53] Ralf
Neema?
[16:54] Neema
I-If there's time, it's okay
to look around the city, right?
[16:58] Parzeth
What?
[17:00] Ralf
If we can see the city inside and out,
we can better report to our father.
[17:05] Neema
Nice one, Ralf!
[17:08] Will
We have members of the royal knights with us.
[17:10] Will
We'll be fine to take a quick look.
[17:12] Parzeth
I-I see.
[17:15] Parzeth
Well, if it's just for a bit...
[17:23] Ralf
This is...
[17:25] Will
This place isn't too bad since the
knights still patrol through here.
[17:30] Will
Let's head to the slums.
[17:38] Will
These children are definitely malnourished.
[17:41] Ralf
Marquis Parzeth should be
supplying them with aid.
[17:44] Will
Perhaps someone's intercepting it.
[17:48] Ralf
I guess we'll just have to look into this.
[17:51] Neema
I can't believe this is still Gaché...
[17:56] Neema
What was that?!
[17:57] Ralf
Neema?
[18:02] Neema
Shinki!
[18:07] Kids
Take that!
[18:08] Kids
And that!
[18:10] Raj
What are you doing?
[18:12] Belgar
Th-This doesn't concern you,
stupid outsiders!
[18:18] Neema
There's something there...
[18:20] Neema
A puppy?!
[18:25] Neema
What have you done?!
[18:28] Belgar
M-My dad said all dogs are enemies!
[18:32] Belgar
What's wrong with beating up an enemy?
[18:35] Neema
Uh, I'm pretty sure the dogs your dad
is talking about are kobolds.
[18:39] Neema
Is that poor thing really your enemy?
[18:43] Neema
Even if it was,
[18:45] Neema
it's shameful to attack someone
so completely defenseless!
[18:51] Belgar
Shut up, shrimp!
[18:55] Belgar
L-Let go of me!
[18:56] Knights
Hey, quit struggling.
[18:59] Neema
You mustn't immediately
resort to brute force.
[19:02] Neema
Because true strength should
be used to protect the weak.
[19:07] Neema
We will do you no harm,
so please, hand over the poor thing.
[19:23] Neema
He's badly hurt...
[19:25] Neema
I'll need Ralf to use a healing
spell on him immediately.
[19:30] Neema
What is it that you want to protect?
[19:33] Neema
Is it not them?
[19:37] Belgar
What do you know, you dumb noble?
[19:40] Neema
True power is not just physical strength.
[19:44] Neema
If you can stay on the right path,
[19:46] Neema
without becoming underhanded or a coward,
[19:49] Neema
and gain honorable strength
like these knights here...
[19:55] Neema
You'll become a wonderful man
who can protect what's important to you.
[20:02] Belgar
I'm Belgar, son of the
adventurer Guy Crius the Red!
[20:06] Belgar
I'm gonna be as strong as my dad
so that I can protect everyone!
[20:11] Neema
My name is Nefertima Osphe.
I will remember you.
[20:22] Ralf
Recul Cresiolle.
[20:33] Ralf
He'll be all right now.
[20:36] Neema
Thank goodness!
[20:38] Neema
That tickles!
[20:41] Neema
Where's your mommy?
[20:47] Neema
The forest?
[20:49] Neema
What does that mean?
So you're not someone's pet?
[20:54] Shinki
My lady, you apparently haven't noticed,
[20:57] Shinki
but that's a kobold pup.
[21:00] Ralf; Will; Neema
Huh?
[21:02] Neema
A kobold?! This is clearly a Shiba Inu!
[21:07] Ralf
Neema sure has some luck...
[21:10] Ralf
God really does favor her.
[21:13] Will
But returning him to his mother would
surely be asking to get attacked by kobolds.
[21:18] Neema
Even if we have him in tow?
[21:20] Will
They'll probably think you kidnapped him.
[21:33] Neema
I'm sorry I made you worry. It'll be okay.
[21:39] Neema
Let's go! Since Lars,
a holy beast, is with us,
[21:42] Neema
the kobolds won't attack immediately!
[21:50] Will
You're such a pushover
when it comes to Neema.
[21:55] Neema
I'll make sure you get back to your mommy!

[00:07] Healran
This is strange.
[00:10] Healran
It's the noon hour,
but the bell hasn't rung.
[00:14] Will
You're right.
[00:15] Ralf
Ringing the bell to signify the hour
is required by law.
[00:18] Ralf
I know there's a state of emergency,
but I'm sure they could still manage that.
[00:23] Healran
My lady.
[00:25] Healran
I have a feeling this town
is hiding something.
[00:29] Neema
Hiding something? Like what?
[00:32] Healran
Right now, all I'm really going
off of is a hunch.
[00:35] Neema
Well... Healran's instincts have*
helped him uncover corruption.
[00:39] Neema
So you want to look into this?
[00:41] Healran
Yes!
[00:42] Neema
Now I'm kinda worried...
[00:44] Neema
I'll leave whatever's afoot in town to you.
[00:46] Neema
But don't do anything rash.
[00:48] Neema
If anything happens,
just flash the Osphe family crest.
[00:51] Healran
Understood.
[00:52] Neema
I'll ask Lars to leave some*
wind spirits with him.
[00:57] Neema
Then, in the case of emergency...
[00:59] Neema
Lars will be able to alert Will.
[01:03] Neema
After that, we split up with Healran
and checked out the city.
[01:09] Neema
In order to get the kobold
pup we saved back home
[01:13] Neema
and in order to negotiate with the kobolds
regarding Project Shiana,
[01:18] Neema
we headed into the forest
to look for their hideout...

Hey... is it really this way?
[03:06] Neema
It feels like any visible path
is just getting more and more...
[03:11] Neema
You two must be having fun.
I guess monsters really do get along.
[03:17] Neema
"Hurry, hurry"?
[03:19] Neema
Hold your horses!
[03:20] Neema
It's hard to really go that fast as a human child!
[03:24] Neema
Shinki!
[03:25] Shinki
Now you won't have to worry about tripping.
[03:29] Neema
Yeah, thanks!
[03:35] Neema
What's the matter?
[03:36] Caelus
Is something there?!
[03:38] Yannick
Is it a kobold?
[03:44] Neema
Wait... What is that?!
[03:52] Caelus
It's... a slime.
[03:54] Neema
A-A slime?!
[03:58] Neema
A super famous monster just appeared!
[04:01] Neema
It doesn't look like the game kind,
[04:03] Neema
but its still got that super squishy body!
[04:08] Neema
I wonder what it feels like.
[04:10] Neema
Man, I really wanna squeeze it.
[04:15] Neema
What?
[04:16] Shinki
It's asking for help.
[04:19] Neema
Shinki, you can understand it?
[04:20] Shinki
Yeah.
[04:21] Shinki
It's saying that it has a weakened
comrade up ahead,
[04:25] Shinki
and it would like our assistance.
[04:27] Neema
What? Its comrade is weakened?
[04:31] Neema
Um, Ralf, I...
[04:35] Ralf
You can follow your heart, Neema.
[04:38] Ralf
If things get ugly, we'll protect you.
[04:41] Will
When did I get roped into this?
[04:44] Ralf
Don't worry. I was talking
about Lars, not you.
[04:49] Neema
Thanks! Now that that's settled...
[04:51] Neema
I don't know if I can help,
but could you lead us to them?
[04:59] Neema
Shinki!
[05:02] Caelus
Lady Nefertima!
[05:04] Caelus
It's dangerous, so we'll go on ahead.
[05:14] Neema
What the heck is that thing?!
[05:19] Will
It's huge.
[05:20] Caelus
I believe it's a parent slime.
SIGN This thing?
[05:25] Caelus
Yes.
[05:26] Caelus
This is my first time seeing one as well,
[05:28] Caelus
since slimes usually only
show up in warm regions.
[05:32] Cadence
Large slimes can produce countless tiny ones,
[05:36] Cadence
which is why they're
called parent slimes, I believe.
[05:39] Neema
Meaning those colorful
things are all baby slimes?
[05:44] Neema
If all of them are born at once...
[05:50] Neema
Oh no! Here they come!
[05:53] Neema
W-Wait! Not here!
[05:56] Neema
It's cold and dangerous here,
[05:58] Neema
so wait until you're somewhere safe!
[06:01] Will
I don't think it can move.
[06:03] Ralf
So it'll give birth any minute?
[06:05] Will
And that's not all.
[06:07] Will
Once slimes become parent slimes,
they turn parasitic,
[06:09] Will
completely unable to move on their own.
[06:12] Shinki
But one this big would just
get in the way if we carry it around.
[06:16] Neema
What should we do?
[06:18] Will
If I remember correctly, they won't
reproduce when inhabiting someone.
[06:22] Neema
Inhabiting someone?!
[06:24] Will
Yeah.
[06:25] Neema
But... won't you get eaten
by the slime if that happens?
[06:31] Shinki
It says it won't eat you if it likes you.
[06:33] Neema
Meaning it will eat you
if it doesn't like you!
[06:36] Neema
Out of curiosity,
which of us would you not eat?
[06:41] Shinki
It says you, my lady.
[06:42] Neema
Go figure...
[06:44] Neema
What about Shinki?
[06:46] Neema
He's hot and has the best bod
out of everyone here.
[06:50] Neema
Yeah, I saw that coming.
[06:54] Shinki
Hmm...
[06:55] Shinki
Apparently once it inhabits you,
anything you consume is eaten by the slime,
[07:00] Shinki
so you won't have to go to the bathroom.
[07:03] Neema
Say what?!
[07:04] Neema
In other words,
all the nutrients go to the slime,
[07:07] Neema
so I can eat a bunch and
not gain any weight?!
[07:11] Neema
That's great!
[07:13] Ralf
There you go, plotting again.
[07:16] Shinki
It's saying that it'll protect you, my lady.
[07:20] Will
Then maybe this is perfect.
[07:22] Will
Due to the slime's nature, most physical
attacks will be ineffective against you.
[07:26] Will
Depending on the attribute,
magic won't work either.
[07:29] Ralf
I'd rather nothing inhabit Neema,
but I guess we can
[07:32] Ralf
play along if it's going to protect her.
[07:35] Neema
True! We can get slimes involved
in Project Shiana, too.
[07:39] Neema
But are you really sure?
[07:41] Neema
Inhabiting me could mean
a lot of trouble for you.
[07:46] Neema
All right, slime.
[07:48] Neema
My name is Nefertima Osphe.
[07:52] Neema
And your name will be...
[07:54] Neema
Shizuku. It's Shizuku!
[07:57] Neema
It's nice to meet you!
[08:10] Neema
Wow! It feels like a soft boob.
[08:18] Neema
This is so healing!
[08:19] Ralf
Neema!
[08:30] Neema
I swallowed it...
[08:32] Ralf
Neema, are you okay?!
[08:34] Neema
Yeah. I do feel Shizuku's
consciousness, though.
[08:38] Neema
So this is what being inhabited is like...
[08:43] Will
What are we going to do with that thing?
[08:46] Neema
Shizuku says that this one is going
to be the next parent slime.
[08:51] Ralf
Then we'll have to take it with us.
[08:54] Neema
Yeah.
[08:56] Neema
Let's find a safe place where you
can have your babies together.
[09:01] Neema
You'll be... Let's see.
[09:03] Neema
Since you're all white...
[09:05] Neema
Haku.
[09:07] Neema
Yup, your name is Haku!
[09:16] Neema
Haku! Let me pet you!
[09:21] Neema
Huh?
[09:22] Will
Ah, so this is a slime, huh?
[09:26] Neema
Brute Prince!
[09:28] Neema
I guess there's something appealing
about that texture to boys.
SIGN Pardon me, my lady.
SIGN We should probably get going soon, or the kobold...
[09:42] Neema
Oh, sorry! I didn't forget about you.
[09:46] Neema
He's right.
[09:48] Neema
We need to go back
to finding the kobolds first.
[09:52] Neema
Okay, let's go!
[09:54] All
Yeah!
[10:02] Neema
Hey, doesn't something seem strange?
[10:06] Will
True.
[10:08] Will
We've walked for quite a while,
but the scenery hasn't changed.
[10:12] Ralf
I don't sense any magic, though.
[10:16] Neema
The kobold pup is sad, too.
[10:19] Will
Lars, do you sense anything?
[10:24] Will
"Magic isn't the only phenomena,
[10:27] Will
nor are living creatures
and spirits everything.
[10:30] Will
The God of Divine Creation's power overflows
throughout the world," he says.
[10:34] Neema
Wow, Lars!
[10:38] Neema
But I wonder what all that means.
[10:40] Neema
Is he's saying there's
something besides magic?
[10:43] Neema
Perhaps there's something we
haven't encountered before...
[10:48] Neema
Hey, could it be...
[10:54] Will
Neema, did you figure something out?
[10:57] Will
The spirits are acting differently.
[11:00] Neema
Yes. I'm not certain yet,
but it might be in this forest.
[11:05] Neema
For now, let's follow Lars.
[11:08] Neema
Shinki, you're not a monster from here,
so I need you to wait for a second.
[11:13] Neema
Sorry, Gratia. You too. I'll be right back!
[11:16] Will
Neema.
[11:18] Neema
It's probably not a human, spirit,
or monster... But it's something.
[11:23] Neema
There was something about it
in that book you read to me, Will.
[11:26] Will
I'm surprised you remember.
[11:28] Ralf
Is that the reason
we've been going around in circles?
[11:32] Neema
If it's what I think it is,
[11:34] Neema
it might know something
about the kobolds, too.
[11:37] Neema
Yes. Deep, deep in the forest,
[11:42] Neema
there's a sanctuary where only
those granted permission may enter.
[11:50] Neema
It's really here!
[11:55] Will
There are times when certain rare
creatures that live a long time
[11:59] Will
evolve into something that will protect
a territory with special powers.
[12:03] Will
These beings are called guardians.
[12:10] Neema
So this is the guardian of this forest!
[12:14] Will
A being that isn't magical,
nor is it a living creature or a spirit.
[12:20] Neema
I wonder if I can approach it.
[12:24] Ralf
Be careful.
[12:28] Neema
Thanks, Ralf.
[12:31] Neema
Thank you for always letting me do what I want.
[12:33] Neema
I truly appreciate you, Ralf.
[12:37] Ralf
Go on, Neema.
[12:49] Neema
It's a pleasure to meet you,
Guardian of the Forest.
[12:52] Neema
My name is Nefertima Osphe.
[12:54] Neema
I apologize for all the trouble we've caused.
[13:00] Master of the Forest
You needn't apologize, Nefertima Osphe.
[13:07] Master of the Forest
But what a peculiar group you all are.
[13:11] Master of the Forest
You have a holy beast, a child of
royalty, and even some monsters.
[13:16] Master of the Forest
Just who are you, little girl?
[13:19] Neema
Who am I? I can't just say
that I'm helping out God...
[13:24] Neema
Um... My father holds our family title,
so you can just call me Nefertima.
[13:32] Master of the Forest
What a strange child.
[13:34] Master of the Forest
So, what did you need from me?
[13:39] Neema
Well...
[13:42] Neema
We're actually looking
for this little one's mother.
[13:45] Neema
Do you know where the kobolds' hideout is?
[13:48] Master of the Forest
What will you do once you find it?
[13:51] Neema
I want to see this little
one back to his mother.
[13:54] Master of the Forest
Even though he's a monster?
[13:55] Neema
That doesn't matter. I just
want to see him home because...
[13:59] Neema
he's clearly in distress.
[14:03] Master of the Forest
I see.
[14:05] Master of the Forest
But I'm sorry, little girl.
I cannot disclose that information.
[14:11] Neema
Why is that?
[14:12] Master of the Forest
Humans persistently pursued the kobolds
until they were driven into these woods.
[14:18] Master of the Forest
It was truly a terrible sight.
[14:22] Master of the Forest
I pitied them, so I decided
to hide them from the humans.
[14:27] Neema
Guardian of the Forest, I know what
the humans did to them was awful.
[14:32] Neema
I'm very sorry!
[14:34] Neema
But we just want to see this little one back
to his mother and negotiate with the kobolds!
[14:40] Master of the Forest
Negotiate?
[14:41] Neema
Yes.
[14:43] Neema
We're thinking about having them
move to a different location.
[14:48] Neema
The proxy lord of Lenice is planning
to send an extermination squad here.
[14:52] Neema
If you keep hiding them,
[14:54] Neema
it will put you and the other
animals in this forest in danger.
[15:00] Neema
The situation is already dire!
[15:03] Neema
I don't think we can avoid a fight
between the humans and kobolds.
[15:07] Master of the Forest
I see. I suppose I cannot
keep them hidden forever.
[15:13] Master of the Forest
Getting them enough food is also an issue.
[15:19] Neema
Yes.
[15:20] Neema
I would like to do everything I can for them.
[15:23] Neema
I want to help the kobolds.
Guardian of the Forest...
[15:27] Neema
Please.
[15:30] Neema
Could you please guide me to their hideout?
[15:34] Master of the Forest
Very well. I shall trust in you, little girl.
[15:38] Master of the Forest
But should I ever find out
you've deceived me,
[15:42] Master of the Forest
you will not leave this forest alive.
[15:49] Neema
I may not be able to save them all...
[15:52] Neema
But if you can accept that,
I will swear upon my name!
[15:57] Master of the Forest
No, you needn't go so far.
[16:00] Master of the Forest
Once things are put into motion,
[16:03] Master of the Forest
the God of Divine Creation will
decide how they proceed.
[16:14] Master of the Forest
Now go.
[16:16] Neema
Guardian of the Forest... Thank you!
[16:20] Master of the Forest
The spirits will guide you.
[16:22] Master of the Forest
Once all is said and done,
come see me again sometime.
[16:25] Neema
I will!
[16:27] Neema
Isn't that great? Let's go.
[16:35] Will
Progress has certainly gotten easier.
[16:38] Ralf
Well, we have the guardian
of the forest's blessing.
[16:40] Neema
Hmm...
[16:42] Will
What's the matter?
[16:43] Neema
Well, the guardian of the
forest mentioned this too,
[16:45] Neema
but getting the monsters enough food to eat
[16:48] Neema
will be a problem with Project Shiana, too.
[16:50] Ralf
True, I guess we hadn't considered that.
[16:52] Neema
Say, what do goblins eat other than fruit?
[16:56] Shinki
We'll eat anything.
[16:58] Neema
What about kobolds?
[17:00] Ralf
Um, I think they're omnivores.
[17:03] Neema
Omnivores?
[17:04] Neema
I guess we'll probably have to grow crops...
[17:10] Neema
What's wrong?
[17:13] Neema
You too, Nox?
[17:23] Neema
Huh?! A b-bug?!
[17:25] Ralf
That's a bug monster. It's called a mamushi.
[17:29] Will
Some are poisonous, which is probably
why they were so on guard.
[17:36] Shinki
Speaking of food...
[17:38] Shinki
Those are edible.
[17:40] Neema
Say what now?!
[17:42] Shinki
They're great roasted.
[17:47] Yannick
That's impressive.
[17:52] Shinki
You get this big piece, Lars.
And you get this one.
[17:55] Shinki
My lady.
[17:58] Shinki
Would you like some?
[17:59] Ralf
You don't have to force yourself, Neema.
[18:01] Neema
I-I'll be fine...
[18:02] Neema
I've got Shizuku, so it shouldn't
upset my stomach.
[18:11] Neema
I-It's good!
[18:13] Neema
Why does it have the texture
of lobster and taste like white fish?
[18:18] Neema
This would be superb with some booze!
[18:21] Neema
You can have some too, Gratia.
[18:26] Will
Can't knock it till you've tried it.
Here goes.
[18:29] Ralf
Wait, Will, are you ser—
[18:32] Will
It's not bad.
[18:34] Will
It lacks flavor, but that can be
remedied with the right preparation.
[18:38] Will
Did you also want to try some?
[18:42] Will
Do you like it?
[18:44] Ralf
Yeah. The flavor's really light.
I think I can eat it as-is.
[18:48] Yannick and Raj
It's good! It's really tasty!
[18:51] Neema
We can probably use its
shell for something, too!
[18:54] Will
Right. The adventurers' guild or the
blacksmiths' guild will buy that from you.
[18:58] Neema
Wow, how convenient!
[19:01] Neema
Lars, if you see any more of those bugs,
I'd like for you to hunt them down.
[19:06] Neema
You too, knights.
[19:09] Caelus
Sure... I don't mind, but what are
you going to do with all of them?
[19:18] Neema
I'm going to give them
to the kobolds as a gift.
[19:24] Neema
I have a feeling the mamushis will be
super useful for Project Shiana.
[19:30] Neema
What a haul!
[19:32] Cadence
We've gotten pretty deep into the forest.
[19:34] Cadence
Can we make it back
to the city before evening?
[19:37] Will
The spirits seem to be leading us this way.
[19:43] Neema
Huh? What? What is it?
[19:45] Neema
There's nothing there.
[19:47] Shinki
No, that's not true.
[19:49] Neema
Huh?
[19:57] Neema
They're here!
[19:59] Neema
Um, we've come with the
guardian of the forest's blessing!
[20:03] Neema
We came to see your leader!
[20:10] Shinki
They're saying they can't trust us.
[20:12] Neema
Of course not...
[20:14] Neema
Um, we've brought you a gift!
[20:17] Neema
Delicious mamushi meat!
[20:21] Neema
If you'd like some...
[20:25] Shinki
They said they're going to talk
to their leader, so follow them.
[20:28] Neema
Okay, let's go.
[20:45] Neema
Th-This is heaven!
[20:49] Neema
This is truly fluffy heaven!
[20:51] Neema
I want to take them all home with me!
[20:53] Shinki
My lady?
[20:54] Neema
Now I really need to bring them into my plan!
[20:57] Neema
Oh, I'm sorry. Let's find your mommy first.
[21:04] Sicily
Human child!
[21:06] Sicily
What do you want with us?
[21:08] Neema
Wow, she's so pretty!
[21:13] Neema
Oh, sorry.
[21:15] Neema
It's a pleasure to meet you.
My name is Nefertima Osphe.
[21:19] Neema
We came to return this little
one we saved in Lenice.
[21:23] Sicily
He does indeed belong to our pack.
[21:26] Sicily
Why did you go to the city?
[21:30] Sicily
What?!
[21:32] Sicily
You little runts! How dare you lie to me?!
[21:35] Neema
Huh? What?
[21:36] Shinki
Apparently some other pups left him behind.
[21:40] Neema
Now, now! Please calm down, ma'am!
[21:42] Sicily
Huh?
[21:44] Neema
There's no point in getting so mad.
[21:47] Neema
We've brought you gifts.
Why don't we eat first?
[21:53] Neema
I need to smile so they'll trust me.
[21:56] Neema
And then once their tummies are full,
it's negotiation time!
[22:03] Neema
Tee-hee!

[00:08] Sicily
If you're done here, then leave.
[00:11] Neema
Would you like some, miss? It's really good.
[00:16] Sicily
The name's Sicily.
I'm grateful for what you've done.
[00:19] Sicily
But we were persecuted by humans.
[00:24] Sicily
I don't intend to be
on civil terms with you.
[00:26] Neema
You were persecuted?
[00:27] Sicily
Yes.
[00:28] Neema
Did something happen?
[00:33] Sicily
Numerous packs were attacked
at once, and many kobolds died.
[00:40] Neema
So it happened to the kobolds, too?
[00:42] Neema
Um... Listen, aside from returning that pup,
[00:46] Neema
there's something I wanted to tell you.
[00:50] Neema
An extermination squad will be coming soon.
[00:52] Neema
It's dangerous to stay here.
[00:55] Sicily
I know.
[00:58] Sicily
The stars told us.
[01:01] Neema
The stars?
[01:02] Sicily
I am a Star-Reader, a priestess able
to read our fortune in the heavens.
[01:08] Neema
That must be why your name is Sicily.
[01:11] Neema
It means "star" in Larshian.
[01:15] Sicily
We will fight with the humans.
[01:18] Sicily
You all need to go back to your city.
[01:21] Neema
Um! Rather than fighting, we've thought
up this thing called Project Shiana!
[01:26] Neema
So that humans and monsters
can live in harmony—
[01:29] Sicily
I refuse.
[01:30] Neema
Huh?
[01:32] Sicily
I told you.
[01:34] Sicily
This pack is made up of kobolds
who survived the human attacks.
[01:38] Sicily
They rely on me as their priestess.
[01:42] Sicily
And I've no intention of trusting humans.
[01:45] Neema
But...
[01:47] Ralf
Neema!
[01:48] Ralf
We need to head back to the city soon.
[01:54] Ralf
Um... I'll come back tomorrow.
[02:04] Sicily
What does this mean?
[02:05] Sicily
The star of the savior is next to ours.
[02:15] Fighter Leader
Are the stars saying something interesting?
[02:22] Sicily
Might that girl be...
[02:26] Sicily
No, that's not possible.

Episode 10 Let's Have a Strategy Meeting!
[04:00] Neema
It's from Father?
[04:01] Neema
What does it say?
[04:03] Ralf
Apparently, Karna is headed our way.
[04:06] Neema
Huh? Karna is?
[04:09] Neema
So all three siblings will be here?
Yeah, I smell chaos.
[04:12] Ralf
And this is a local report
from the squad leader here.
[04:15] Ralf
What did you get, Will?
The authorization you asked for?
[04:18] Will
Yeah.
[04:19] Will
"The prince is conducting an inspection,
so the royal knights,
[04:22] Will
regardless of station or rank,
are to follow His Highness's orders."
[04:29] Will
This is the problem, though.
[04:31] Will
"In addition to carrying out a
special inspection of the royal knights,
[04:36] Will
the prince now temporarily holds
the power to arrest."
[04:40] Will
This is a royal decree from the king.
[04:42] Ralf
Now, of all times?
[04:44] Will
Yup. He's basically telling us to clean up
any knights that might get in our way.
[04:51] Neema
I guess Papa is really serious
about ferreting out corruption!
[04:55] Will
You find this highly amusing, don't you?
[04:58] Neema
I-I would never!
[05:02] Neema
But...
[05:03] Neema
This means that you get to stay
with us until the end, Will!
[05:09] Will
Well, as long as I'm getting results,
[05:11] Will
I doubt they'll complain
even if I'm gone awhile.
[05:14] Ralf
Speaking of inspections,
I wonder what happened to Healran.
[05:17] Neema
Hmm... I guess he never did come back.
[05:21] Will
Where is he?
[05:23] Will
He's hiding out in an inn in the slums?
[05:25] Neema
Huh?
[05:26] Ralf
What does that mean?
[05:27] Will
Who knows? That's just
what the spirit told me.
[05:31] Will
He apparently doesn't need help, though.
[05:33] Neema
Hmm... In that case, I'm gonna
go back to the forest today.
[05:40] Neema
I brought you food, everyone!
[05:45] Neema
Oof!
[05:47] Neema
Aw, did you miss me that much, little one?
[05:53] Neema
Ah, so that's what you wanted.
[05:55] Neema
We should eat too, Gratia and Haku.
Come on out.
[05:59] Sicily
You really did come again.
[06:01] Neema
Yes.
[06:04] Sicily
Those are... You have monsters with you?
[06:08] Neema
Yes. Shinki over there is a monster, too.
[06:12] Neema
This little slime's parent slime
is currently inhabiting me.
[06:16] Sicily
But why...
[06:19] Neema
Well, they needed help.
[06:24] Sicily
The fact that they're with you...
[06:27] Sicily
Is this all a part of that
Project Shiana you mentioned?
[06:32] Neema
Are you interested now?
[06:36] Neema
It might be difficult for you to trust us
since it was also humans that hurt you,
[06:43] Neema
but...
[06:44] Neema
I want to help you.
[06:49] Sicily
The stars...
[06:51] Sicily
No, I need to protect them.
[06:56] Sicily
I need to protect the pack...
and my little sister.
[06:59] Neema
You have a little sister?
[07:02] Sicily
Yes. My entire bloodline,
[07:05] Sicily
other than the two of us, was wiped out.
[07:10] Neema
Here! Try petting Haku!
It'll help you calm down.
[07:20] Sicily
This... has a very strange texture.
[07:23] Sicily
It is relaxing somehow.
[07:28] Neema
Thank goodness.
[07:30] Sicily
Can we save the lives of everyone here?
[07:32] Neema
It might be difficult to save everyone,
[07:35] Neema
but I'll still do all I can.
[07:39] Sicily
Very well. Will you tell me of your plan?
[07:42] Neema
Right.
[07:45] Sicily
So that's what happened?
[07:47] Neema
Right now, I'm gathering up monsters
who have lost their homes
[07:51] Neema
and trying to find somewhere
to relocate them.
[07:55] Sicily
Still, I'm surprised...
A human who saves monsters?
[07:59] Neema
Race and tribe don't matter.
[08:02] Neema
I just want to save everyone
who's in trouble.
[08:05] Neema
We'll fight with you.
[08:08] Neema
Will you participate in this plan
to help protect your pack?
[08:14] Sicily
All right. I'll put my faith in you.
[08:18] Neema
Thank you!
[08:20] Sicily
I will go summon the other leaders.
[08:25] Neema
Looks like step one was a success.
[08:32] Neema
She said she's from a family of Star-Readers.
[08:34] Neema
I wonder if they all have different
roles based on breed.
[08:37] Hanley
Little lady.
[08:39] Hanley
Thank you for saving one of our pups.
[08:42] Neema
Whoa! A super ultra fluffy floof!
[08:46] Hanley
The youngest of the Herbs is a bit careless.
[08:51] Neema
What? The Herbs?
What is that bloodline about?
[08:54] Neema
My name is Nefertima Osphe!
Please teach me all the things!
[08:58] Hanley
Ah, I beg your pardon.
[09:00] Hanley
I am from the Healer Family.
My name is Hanley.
[09:02] Neema
You have a name?
[09:03] Hanley
Oh? So you understand what
it means for us to be named?
[09:08] Neema
Shinki told me about named creatures,
but I've never met one before.
[09:13] Hanley
Is this Shinki not named?
[09:16] Neema
Well, I'm the one who named him.
[09:19] Neema
I may not look it,
but I'm the leader of the goblins.
[09:22] Hanley
Th-Their leader?!
[09:25] Neema
Yeah, it just sorta happened.
[09:26] Hanley
Unbelievable! You're just a small child.
[09:29] Neema
More importantly, could you
tell me more about kobolds?
[09:34] Hanley
Very well. Then let me tell you
about our ecology.
[09:39] Neema
Yay!
[09:40] Hanley
First, kobold bloodlines are mainly split
into two types: hunting and lifestyle.
[09:46] Hanley
Hunting bloodlines excel with
weapons and physical abilities.
[09:50] Hanley
Lifestyle bloodlines excel at craftsmanship
and things useful in daily life.
[09:55] Hanley
Usually, we live amongst our bloodlines,
[09:58] Hanley
but when bloodlines come together in a pack,
we help each other out.
[10:03] Neema
Excuse me, Mr. Hanley!
[10:05] Neema
Why do some walk on four legs
and some walk on two?
[10:09] Hanley
An excellent question.
[10:11] Hanley
Once kobolds become adults,
they're able to stand on two legs.
[10:15] Hanley
As children, they lack the proper muscles,
[10:18] Hanley
so they train their shoulders and
legs by walking on all fours.
[10:21] Neema
Huh...
[10:23] Hanley
For example, the range of
motion in our joints...
[10:23] Neema
More importantly, just look at Mr. Hanley's
gorgeous fur. It's too hard to resist!
[10:33] Neema
I haven't gotten floofs in forever!
[10:34] Hanley
H-Huh? Hey, stop that!
[10:37] Neema
He's so soft and fluffy!
[10:39] Will
What are you doing?
[10:41] Ralf
Neema.
[10:43] Neema
Ralf, let's make a plushie of Mr. Hanley.
[10:47] Ralf
Wh-What brought this on?
[10:49] Neema
He's just so fluffy! If we can recreate that,
it's bound to be a huge hit!
[10:53] Ralf
You're going a bit far.
[10:58] Will
Ralf, why are you doing this now?
[11:03] Will
This is...
[11:04] Ralf
Yeah, I get it now.
[11:05] Neema
Right?!
[11:06] Sign
fluff
[11:06] Sign
fluff
[11:06] Sign
fluff
[11:07] Ralf
But it's really delicate, so it might
be difficult to recreate with magic.
[11:13] Will
We might be able to do it if we shear him
and use magic with no attribute.
[11:18] Hanley
Sh-Shear me?!
[11:18] Ralf
Yeah, we can using shaping magic
to make the material and...
[11:21] Hanley
That's quite enough!
[11:23] Hanley
You will not be shearing my fur!
[11:25] Sicily
Pardon me.
[11:26] Sicily
Preparations are complete.
[11:28] Sicily
Hanley, will you come with me?
[11:29] Hanley
S-Sure...
[11:32] Neema
And so, the purpose of Project Shiana
is to collect monsters.
[11:37] Neema
We're still looking for a location,
but you'll be living with the goblins.
[11:43] Fighter Leader
I see. So every day will be
a fight for survival.
[11:47] Fighter Leader
We can take the humans alive
and use them for hunting practice.
[11:50] Fighter Leader
My blood's pumping now!
[11:54] Carpenter Leader
Rather than killing them, I say we take
advantage of the humans' dexterity.
[11:58] Carpenter Leader
Don't you agree, Green?
[12:00] Green
True. Once we settle down
and make a huge field,
[12:03] Green
we'll need some manual labor.
[12:05] Furnace Leader
We'd also like some help with our work.
[12:07] Neema
Then does that mean you
all agree to this plan?
[12:12] All
Yes.
[12:14] Neema
Now we just have to figure out how
to handle the extermination squad.
[12:18] Philosopher Family
Well, they've already gathered, haven't they?
[12:20] Philosopher Family
There's no time to evacuate.
[12:22] Knitter Family
But we can't just stay here either.
[12:25] Weaver Family
We'd like to avoid conflict
[12:26] Weaver Family
and get to safety
until your plan is set in motion.
[12:31] Neema
Why don't we face them head-on?
[12:34] Sicily
What do you mean?
[12:35] Neema
We'll set upon Lenice
with everything you've got,
[12:39] Neema
but then suddenly change direction.
[12:41] Neema
We'll use the confusion to flee west.
[12:44] Neema
I think we can pull it off
with the kobolds' speed.
[12:48] Weaver Family
Isn't that dangerous?
[12:49] Philosopher Family
We might not be able to avoid casualties.
[12:52] Spica
Everyone!
[12:54] Spica
Don't let that human fool you!
[12:57] Neema
Wh-Who is that?
[13:01] Spica
Don't let that human fool you!
[13:03] Sicily
What are you doing here?
The leaders are talking right now!
[13:08] Sicily
Little Sister.
[13:11] Neema
That's her sister?!
[13:12] Neema
She looks totally different!
[13:14] Neema
Those ears on her head and her fluffy tail...
[13:19] Neema
Is she not a kobold?
[13:21] Ralf
She's a beastperson, isn't she?
[13:23] Sicily
Yes, she's from the wolf tribe.
[13:26] Sicily
She was abandoned, so now she's
an important member of my family.
[13:31] Will
Wait.
[13:32] Will
She's not from just any wolf tribe.
[13:35] Will
Her fur's as dark as night, and those
silver streaks resemble shooting stars.
[13:41] Neema
She's a member of the Star Wolf Tribe?
[13:43] Sicily
I can't be certain, but I suspect
she was born of a mutation.
[13:47] Neema
Hmm...
[13:48] Neema
Can it really be that convenient?
[13:51] Neema
There's a possibility that God revived them.
[13:56] Neema
Which means...
[13:57] Neema
He's telling me that I must
capture this cute little girl!
[14:02] Neema
All right.
[14:04] Neema
Little Sister.
[14:06] Neema
Why do you think we're tricking you?
[14:09] Spica
Humans are all the same!
[14:11] Spica
You're greedy and cruel...
[14:13] Spica
You're the reason
we're all suffering right now!
[14:16] Philosopher Family
It's true that the food may be a trap.
[14:19] Carpenter Family
Should we trust them so easily?
[14:21] Sicily
Watch your mouth!
[14:24] Neema
I can't deny there are humans like that,
but we came to help your pack.
[14:30] Spica
You're lying.
[14:30] Neema
We're not, though.
[14:32] Neema
If you have an idea about how
to save your pack, please tell me.
[14:38] Spica
I wouldn't know...
[14:39] Neema
What do you mean?
[14:42] Spica
Well, they don't tell me
anything because I'm a kid.
[14:46] Spica
But they go and tell a human who shows up
out of nowhere everything about us?
[14:51] Sicily
That's...
[14:53] Neema
Just say what's on your mind.
[14:56] Spica
I...
[14:58] Spica
I can fight, too!
[15:00] Spica
I can defeat the humans, too!
[15:03] Spica
I... I...
[15:05] Spica
I want to do something for our pack, too...
[15:13] Neema
I see. So she felt left out.
[15:21] Neema
Then, hey... want to join me?
[15:25] Spica
Huh?
[15:26] Neema
You want to fight with your
sister and everyone else, right?
[15:31] Neema
Still, I can understand
why your sister is worried.
[15:36] Neema
So I figure you'll be safest by my side.
[15:40] Neema
What do you think?
[15:42] Neema
She's really thinking about it. Meaning...
[15:46] Neema
I get to give a cute little
girl head-pats! This is great!
[15:50] Neema
Her huge, sparkly eyes
and her silky smooth hair...
[15:53] Neema
I just can't!
[15:55] Sign
floof
[15:55] Neema
Once we're closer, I'm gonna ask
if I can touch her ears and tail!
[15:56] Sign
floof
[15:57] Sign
floof
[15:58] Sign
floof
[16:01] Spica
Um...
[16:04] Spica
Can I really help my sister?
[16:08] Neema
Of course! Right?
[16:14] Sicily
Listen well, Little Sister.
[16:16] Spica
Yes, Sister!
[16:18] Sicily
That little girl is our savior.
[16:21] Sicily
Stay by her side and protect her! Understand?
[16:27] Spica
Yes!
[16:28] Neema
What now?
[16:29] Neema
Hey, wait!
[16:30] Neema
What do you mean by savior?
[16:32] Sicily
The stars told me that
salvation was on the way.
[16:36] Sicily
I'm now certain that the stars meant you.
[16:39] Neema
But Will and Ralf are here, too.
[16:42] Sicily
This may sound rude,
but if you weren't involved,
[16:47] Sicily
I'm certain they would have given up on us.
[16:50] Ralf
She's right.
[16:51] Ralf
If it weren't for Neema,
we probably never would have met.
[16:55] Will
We've definitely got our hands full
with a savior like you.
[17:00] Will
Okay, let's get back to the strategy meeting.
[17:13] Neema
Um, Ralf...
[17:16] Neema
If possible, I was hoping you'd
infiltrate the extermination squad.
[17:21] Will
Why?
[17:21] Neema
It'd be better if we know what's going on
with them, and you can use healing magic.
[17:28] Neema
I'd like to avoid any unnecessary casualties.
[17:32] Ralf
All right.
[17:34] Will
That's settled, then.
[17:35] Will
Everyone, get ready.
[17:37] All
Yeah!
[17:41] Sicily
Everyone mobile, go collect wood!
[17:43] Sicily
Carpenter Family, get to work on the logs
and create the carts we need to flee.
[17:47] Sicily
Weaver and Knitter Families,
create ropes and nets.
[17:51] Sicily
Green and Philosopher Families,
scout out routes for this plan.
[17:54] Sicily
Determine where to place traps
and where to meet up after we flee.
[18:00] Neema
Ralf...?
[18:02] Will
Using catapults would mean more firepower.
[18:05] Fika
They'll probably have
five and six tag along with you.
[18:10] Fika
I'm the fourth-born Herb,
the third brother. Name's Fika.
[18:14] Neema
What's this about tagging along with me?
[18:17] Fika
They'll be messengers if something happens.
[18:19] Neema
Ah, I see.
[18:21] Fika
By the way, the one you rescued...
[18:24] Fika
is the twelfth-born!
[18:26] Neema
Twelfth?! Your family's that big?!
[18:30] Fika
That's pretty normal. It's actually rarer
for so many families to gather into one pack.
[18:36] Neema
I see.
[18:38] Fika
I don't know how many members
of other packs are still alive.
[18:42] Fika
Maybe it'll be easier to reunite with them
if we go along with your plan!
[18:47] Fika
I'm looking forward to it.
[18:49] Neema
Yeah.
[18:51] Neema
Reuniting with other packs?
[18:53] Neema
You mean we might end up
with an even bigger family of doggos?!
[18:57] Neema
Ah, the fluffy, the fluff, the fluff...
[19:00] Ralf
Neema. Neema?
[19:03] Ralf
We're done with the meeting.
[19:05] Ralf
To serve as messengers and scouts,
[19:07] Ralf
the Herb Family's fifth and sixth
pups are going to tag along.
[19:12] Fika
See?
[19:13] Neema
You're right! Nice to meet you!
[19:16] Neema
Um...
[19:17] Neema
These aren't names.
Nope, just Japanese numbers.
[19:20] Neema
Gou and Roku!
[19:25] Ralf
Okay, let's return to Lenice for now.
[19:28] Neema
Okay.
[19:29] Neema
Listen well. See how many
are in the adventurers' forces.
[19:33] Neema
If you run into trouble,
search out these people, okay?
[19:39] Neema
Nox will act as an emergency messenger
and get in contact with my brother.
[19:45] Sign
Zzz...
[19:45] Neema
I guess Gratia won't have anything
to do for now. She's still a baby, after all.
[19:50] Raj
We'll head out as well.
[19:52] Yannick
We'll infiltrate the adventurers'
forces to collect intel.
[19:56] Neema
Wow, those disguises are perfect!
[19:59] Will
We're counting on you.
[20:00] Raj
Right.
[20:02] Will
All right, I guess we should
visit the knighthood's post.
[20:11] Noctis
Hail, Your Highness.
[20:12] Will
You needn't be formal with me while I'm here.
[20:15] Noctis
But...
[20:16] Will
I'm just tagging along with her.
[20:19] Will
More importantly, are you the one in charge
of the kobold extermination squad?
[20:24] Noctis
Yes.
[20:25] Will
I see.
[20:26] Will
There's something I'd like
to discuss with you about that.
[20:30] Noctis
As you wish. Right this way.
[20:35] Neema
Healran?!
[20:37] Healran
Shh.
[20:38] Neema
What's he doing here?
[20:39] Neema
This is the knighthood's post!
Wait, why is he dressed like that?
[20:43] Neema
Report at night.
[20:47] Ralf
So, I'd like to go along with you
to exterminate the kobolds.
[20:50] Noctis
Wha— It's too dangerous!
[20:52] Ralf
My father is preparing
to send aid to the city.
[20:56] Ralf
If I'm here and do nothing,
I'll bring shame to the Osphe family.
[21:01] Noctis
Still, I cannot guarantee
we'll be able to protect you.
[21:05] Neema
What if he sticks to the rear
and heals the injured?
[21:08] Noctis
You can use healing magic, Lord Ralfreed?
[21:12] Ralf
To an intermediate level.
[21:14] Noctis
Amazing.
[21:17] Noctis
Very well.
[21:18] Noctis
In that case, if we may borrow two guards,
[21:21] Noctis
I'll allow you to join the rear line.
[21:24] Will
Well?
SIGN That's perfectly fine. We shall accompany Lord Ralf.
[21:30] Noctis
I have guests!
[21:31] Knight A
It's an emergency!
[21:35] Noctis
What?
[21:36] Noctis
Pardon, I must leave for a moment.
[21:41] Neema
I wonder what's up.
[21:42] Shinki
Some knights that tried to break up a fight
between some adventurers were injured.
[21:49] Shinki
One of them gravely.
[21:51] Will
Let's go.
[21:52] Neema
Yeah.

[00:13] Ralf
This... is really bad.
[00:16] Ralf
Three healers won't be enough to handle it.
[00:21] Neema
Those wounds are awful.
[00:23] Neema
Fights with adventurers can get this bad?
[00:27] Will
Those injuries... They were attacked
by a carnivorous beast.
[00:31] Will
And the cuts to their torsos
were caused by wind magic.
[00:34] Neema
Beasts and magic?
[00:37] Ralf
I'll lend a hand!
[00:39] Ralf
Please continue praying!
[00:41] Neema
I don't have any magic, but I'll pray too!
[00:44] Ralf
Recumora Dieusahé Cresiolle.
[00:49] Neema
Healing magic calls upon the Goddess's power.
[00:51] Neema
Our prayers will strengthen it.
[00:54] Neema
Please, may they be saved!
[01:08] Knight A
The pain's gone...?
[01:10] Ralf
Thank goodness.
[01:11] Noctis
How incredible!
[01:14] Ralf
If you're injured, gather around!
[01:16] Ralf
I'll heal you all at once!
[01:18] Will
Did you apprehend who caused all this?
[01:20] Knight A
They're in the dungeons below.
[01:22] Knight A
One of the culprits is a beastmaster,
and we also had to isolate his beast.
[01:29] Neema
Another job that specializes in beasts,
like what Lestin and the Beast Knights do.
[01:33] Neema
Except they don't just ride them...
[01:35] Neema
They take advantage of animals'
abilities to kill and track.
[01:39] Neema
They use their beasts as partners
on their adventures.
[01:42] Will
I see... So we have hold-out criminals
calling themselves adventurers.

[03:24] Neema
I'm so exhausted...
[03:27] Neema
We had all that trouble involving the
beastmaster right after visiting the kobolds.
[03:31] Neema
That's a lot for a little kid!
[03:35] Neema
Good night, Ralf...
[03:38] Neema
Healran!
[03:43] Neema
A-Are you okay?
[03:46] Healran
I would never blow my cover.
[03:49] Neema
Then could you tell us why
you were with the knights
[03:51] Neema
and report any information you've gathered?
[03:54] Healran
Yes.
[03:55] Healran
While investigating the collusion
between the adventurers and knights,
[03:59] Healran
I wound up being questioned by the knights.
[04:01] Healran
I got out of it by telling them
I had a falling out
[04:04] Healran
with my adventurer buddies
and was looking for work.
[04:07] Healran
They then recommended me for a desk job,
[04:10] Healran
and now, I'm investigating the
knighthood from the inside.
[04:13] Neema
I can't believe it! The knights
he talked to were way too nice!
[04:17] Healran
I have indeed found the
regional commander to be shady.
[04:21] Healran
He's been stealing relief aid, embezzling
funds, and taking bribes from adventurers...
[04:26] Healran
All clearly dubious acts.
[04:28] Neema
Why are adventurers involved, though?
[04:30] Healran
To make them look good at the guild.
[04:32] Healran
If they pay him,
he'll overreport their achievements.
[04:37] Will
Do you have any proof of this?
[04:39] Healran
I haven't been able to track
the flow of money.
[04:42] Will
We need some physical evidence.
[04:44] Healran
I'll try to follow the money trail, but...
[04:47] Will
That could be difficult.
[04:51] Will
The knights are known
for their shoddy management.
[04:54] Will
Even back home, I hear
commanders are always arguing
[04:57] Will
with the accounting department
about how funds are used.
[05:00] Will
So the regional knights must also be...
[05:03] Will
That's it!
[05:04] Healran
They're submitting inflated claims!
[05:06] Will
Yes. The knights regularly overorder
supplies in case of emergencies.
[05:12] Healran
If we go through their orders and deliveries,
we might find something!
[05:17] Will
Healran.
[05:20] Will
I leave you with my royal crest.
[05:26] Will
Don't let them get away.
[05:28] Healran
I won't.
[05:30] Neema
Now that he's under the auspices of both
the Osphe family and the royal family,
[05:34] Neema
Healran's life will be in even more jeopardy.
[05:39] Neema
Healran, as long as you can find proof, Will
and the others will take care of the rest.
[05:44] Neema
So make sure you put your safety first.
[05:48] Healran
I understand.
[05:50] Neema
Please protect him, spirits.
[05:53] Ralf
Okay, now that that's settled,
let's get you to bed.
[05:57] Ralf
You're getting into the
habit of staying up too late.
[06:00] Healran
I will also take my leave.
[06:02] Ralf
Healran.
[06:04] Healran
Yes?
[06:05] Ralf
Make sure you don't do anything
that'll make Neema sad.
[06:08] Healran
I owe Lady Neema for taking me in.
I will do everything in my power for her.
[06:15] Neema
You're my friend, Healran!
[06:20] Healran
Thank you very much.
[06:26] Neema
I never knew that Healran
could smile like that.
[06:33] Will
Red Hlaada will be arriving tomorrow.
[06:37] Ralf
Things will be set in motion the day after.
[06:39] Ralf
This is probably going to be hard on Neema.
[06:44] Will
It's unavoidable.
This is the path that she chose...
[06:48] Will
even if she doesn't realize it.
[06:58] Spica
Quiet, everyone!
[07:00] Spica
This is our last strategy meeting for
tomorrow and it's really important!
[07:07] Sicily
Are the children in the way?
[07:09] Will
They're fine.
[07:11] Will
Everyone needs to know what's going
on, even if they aren't fighting.
[07:16] Will
Foremost, I need all of you to understand
[07:19] Will
that this battle is so we can move
your pack somewhere safe.
[07:24] Will
Also, do not forget that we are here
[07:27] Will
to help you because that is Nefertima's wish.
[07:33] Will
Let's get right into it.
[07:35] Will
The extermination squad includes
53 knights and two healers.
[07:39] Will
The adventurers have 34 melee fighters,
[07:42] Will
28 mages, ten mid-range fighters,
eight healers, and twelve scouts,
[07:48] Will
totaling 92 members in fifteen parties.
[07:50] Will
Note that this does not include Red Hlaada,
[07:54] Will
as we have no detailed intel on them,
or the knights on our side.
[07:55] Neema
Will is the prince of this kingdom.
[07:58] Neema
He can't sacrifice his knights or people
for the sake of monsters.
[07:58] Will
With safety in mind, we must dispatch
the adventurers thusly...
[08:02] Neema
We've thought this through
as thoroughly as possible.
[08:05] Will
When we hit the designated casualties,
[08:07] Will
Ralfreed, who is in the extermination
squad, will order a retreat.
[08:11] Neema
Am I okay with this?
[08:13] Neema
Can we really protect the kobolds this way?
[08:17] Will
Neema.
[08:19] Will
Is there anything you'd like to say as well?
[08:25] Neema
Shinki.
[08:29] Neema
There will most likely
be fatalities in this battle.
[08:34] Neema
Everyone participating needs to be prepared!
[08:49] Will
Stop making that face.
[08:51] Will
Everyone will panic if they
see their leader looking uneasy.
[08:53] Will
Don't let them know you're troubled,
though you should remain circumspect.
[08:58] Will
But once you've chosen your path,
do not waver.
[09:02] Neema
Is that what you always do, Will?
[09:05] Will
Of course.
[09:07] Will
I'm going to follow in my father's
footsteps and become king someday.
[09:11] Will
I constantly question myself.
[09:13] Will
Will my choices betray the hopes
of the people around me and my citizens?
[09:21] Will
But what I decide firmly,
I have no problem giving voice to.
[09:25] Will
You need to think more before you speak.
[09:28] Neema
He's right. I need to prepare myself, too.
[09:32] Neema
But how...?
[09:35] Will
A report from Ralf?
[09:39] Neema
What's wrong?
[09:40] Will
This isn't good. The beastmaster and the person
he was fighting have been released.
[09:44] Neema
Why?
[09:45] Will
To bolster their forces.
[09:48] Will
Curse that fox of a commander.
How dare he overstep his authority?
[09:54] Neema
It seems like the situation
just keeps getting worse.
[09:58] Neema
The plan begins tomorrow...
[10:01] Neema
God, what am I supposed to do?
[10:12] Ralf
Okay, Neema, be careful.
[10:14] Neema
I will.
[10:17] Neema
After everything, I couldn't sleep well.
[10:21] Neema
Hey, that tickles! What's the matter?
[10:25] Fighter Leader
They're trying to cheer you up.
[10:27] Neema
Mr. Fighter Leader...
[10:30] Fighter Leader
I cannot blame you for worrying.
But we're with you.
[10:35] Neema
You're not scared?
[10:39] Fighter Leader
I've lived a very long time in a world
where death may find me at any moment.
[10:43] Fighter Leader
I tore my fear down to size many moons ago.
[10:46] Fighter Leader
And if I ever let it get the best of me,
[10:50] Fighter Leader
I wouldn't be able to protect these two.
[10:53] Fighter Leader
Of course, I plan to protect your life
as well. Even if it means my own.
[10:59] Fighter Leader
We've chosen to put our fate in your hands.
[11:03] Fighter Leader
We made that decision ourselves.
[11:06] Fighter Leader
You've just gotta do what you've gotta do.
[11:16] Neema
Right!
[11:19] Will
The battle is nigh,
but I'm changing our target priorities.
[11:22] Will
We've learned that Red Hlaada has arrived
and the beastmaster has been released.
[11:28] Will
The beastmaster gravely injured many knights
and should be considered dangerous.
[11:33] Will
Make sure to incapacitate him first
and hand him over to the inquisitor.
[11:37] Spica
Lady Neema.
[11:40] Spica
Are you okay?
[11:45] Spica
Thank you. I'm fine.
[11:47] Neema
I need to get a grip.
[11:49] Neema
I'm the one who sowed these seeds, after all.
[11:53] Spica
What's the matter?
[11:55] Spica
They're here.
[12:03] Spica
The extermination squad!
[12:13] Noctis
Our enemy is the kobolds
with a werewolf among them!
[12:16] Noctis
Don't let your guard down!
[12:21] Luck
Say, Yuga...
[12:23] Yuga
What is it, Luck?
[12:24] Luck
I think there's something more to this job.
[12:27] Charlene
I agree. The closer we got to Lenice,
the more hardship we encountered.
[12:33] Yuga
Probably just a coincidence.
[12:34] Charlene
Well, I can't say for certain it wasn't...
[12:37] Yuga
Still, she has a point.
[12:39] Yuga
Our rations spoiled in that sudden downpour,
we got lost once we entered the forest...
[12:43] Yuga
It's like...
[12:45] Seira
It's like some invisible force
is getting in our way.
[12:48] Luck
Well, my nose knows for sure.
[12:52] Luck
There are folks around here who
reek of malice and money.
[13:03] Neema
The squad is about to reach the checkpoint
for putting the plan into effect.
[13:08] Neema
Shinki, Lars, are you ready?
[13:14] Neema
I'm also counting on you, Herbs.
[13:19] Neema
This will all ride on how many troops
we can incapacitate out of the gate!
[13:23] Will
Let's go.
[13:24] Neema
Yeah.
[13:26] Will
Three. Two.
[13:27] Neema
We'll have Shinki conjure a dense fog
with the spirits to obscure their vision.
[13:29] Will
One...
[13:29] Extermination Squad Member A
Wh-What the?
[13:31] Will
Zero!
[13:34] Neema
Lars will amplify Will's air raid.
[13:39] Luck
Get down!
[13:48] Luck
Kobolds?!
[13:49] Yuga
We're toast if the high-ranking ones are here.
[13:52] Yuga
If you see the werewolf, take it out first!
[13:56] Extermination Squad Member B
Damn it! I can't hear anything!
[13:58] Extermination Squad Member C
It's no use! We can't repel
this fog with magic!
[14:00] Neema
While the spirits are helping us,
we'll take advantage of the confusion.
[14:00] Extermination Squad Member D
Do something!
[14:02] Extermination Squad Member A
Stay close together until
we get out of the fog!
[14:05] Neema
The Herbs will incapacitate
as many people as possible.
[14:10] Fika
Bring the adventurers over here!
[14:14] Neema
The undercover knights are making their move!
[14:19] Will
Apparently the beastmaster
has been captured.
[14:26] Neema
Where's the beast?
[14:31] Beastmaster
Sic 'em!
[14:33] Neema
Look out!
[14:39] Neema
Gratia?
[14:46] Neema
I-Is he dead?
[14:48] Herb
No, he's just paralyzed.
[14:50] Neema
That was amazing, Gratia!
[14:52] Neema
I guess she's venomous!
[14:55] Extermination Squad Member A
I think I heard voices over here!
[14:57] Extermination Squad Member B
Is it kobolds?
[14:58] Extermination Squad Member C
Don't let them get away this time!
[14:58] Will
They're onto us now.
[15:00] Will
Begin the next phase!
[15:09] Extermination Squad Member D
Wh-What the?!
[15:11] Extermination Squad Member E
Did the kobolds set this trap?
[15:16] Extermination Squad Member E
Wh-What now?!
[15:17] Extermination Squad Member F
There are blades mixed in!
[15:18] Noctis
Onward! We're breaking through this fog!
[15:30] Extermination Squad Member D
A-A slime?
[15:30] Extermination Squad Member E
I-It's melting my stuff!
[15:30] Extermination Squad Member F
Save me!
[15:32] Neema
Haku's down at the bottom!
[15:35] (Flashback) Neema
You can eat all of the enemies'
weapons and equipment, okay?
[15:38] Luck
See? I told you.
[15:40] Charlene
It's too dangerous to move
recklessly at times like this.
[15:44] Yuga
Seira, save them.
[15:54] Will
She's casting Central Pillar!
[15:56] Neema
The only thing we can use
against an intermediate earth spell
[16:00] Neema
would be an unaligned spell
or an advanced fire spell,
[16:02] Neema
which is earth's opposing element.
[16:04] Neema
In that case...
[16:05] Neema
Sol! Please help us!
[16:09] Sol
I cannot.
[16:10] Sol
If I do from this location,
some of you would be harmed as well.
[16:14] Neema
Oh no!
[16:15] Will
Their vanguard approaches! Engage them!
[16:19] Noctis
The kobolds are upon us! Look alive!
[16:29] Neema
A bear beastperson?!
[16:30] Will
That's Red Hlaada.
[16:33] Neema
That's them?
[16:38] Luck
Did you notice, Yuga?
[16:40] Luck
The kobolds... No, this whole
battle reeks of humans.
[16:45] Luck
I don't know who it is,
but someone's helping them out.
[16:52] (Flashback) Neema
Look out!
[16:54] Yuga
A child?
[16:56] Yuga
So I wasn't imagining things.
[16:59] Luck
What should we do?
[17:04] Yuga
A third of our forces are injured.
[17:06] Yuga
Most will be back on their feet soon.
[17:08] Yuga
The problem is those who've lost their gear.
[17:14] Yuga
Everyone with intermediate magic,
protect the wounded and the healers!
[17:19] Yuga
Anyone with advanced magic, advance!
[17:21] Yuga
Commander Noctis!
[17:22] Yuga
Please lend us five knights as guards.
[17:25] Yuga
Let's go, vanguard adventurers!
[17:28] Neema
They're so strong...
[17:31] Will
Don't look away, Neema.
[17:33] Will
This is the path you chose.
[17:36] Will
Even if everyone else forgets,
you must always remember this.
[17:52] Yuga
They have mages with advanced fire magic?
[17:55] Yuga
Luck, we're falling back for now.
[18:00] Yuga
Our enemies are tougher than we thought.
[18:02] Yuga
We should retreat and prioritize defense
while tending to the wounded.
[18:05] Noctis
We've only exterminated about half of them.
[18:09] Yuga
This'll be pointless
if we lose our people too!
[18:12] Yuga
Actually... Despite how hard
they've been attacking,
[18:15] Yuga
we've yet to suffer any casualties?
[18:17] Yuga
How is that possible?
[18:19] Yuga
I'm also concerned
that I only see knights here.
[18:23] Yuga
What happened to the other adventurers?
[18:25] Seira
You know, this whole extermination
mission might be some kind of scheme.
[18:30] Ralf
Pardon me. I couldn't help overhearing.
[18:34] Noctis
Lord Ralfreed!
[18:35] Ralf
Considering our current stalemate,
[18:37] Ralf
I believe we could pull out
without casualties.
[18:40] Charlene
Right?
[18:41] Charlene
Even if we tend to the wounded,
we'll only last as long as the healers' magic.
[18:46] Seira
Not to mention it's really fishy
that there are so few wounded on our side.
[18:52] Ralf
Do you think the kobolds
are plotting something?
[18:55] Seira
Werewolves are their third evolutionary form,
and each one has unique abilities.
[19:01] Seira
If theirs specializes in magic,
it may be difficult to exterminate.
[19:05] Ralf
Evolution makes that much of a difference?
[19:08] Yuga
Monsters are divided into those
who can evolve and those who can't,
[19:12] Yuga
and the number of times they evolve varies.
[19:15] Yuga
When they reach higher evolutions,
they gain unique traits...
[19:18] Yuga
But those are all highly individualized.
[19:21] Yuga
They might concern strength, magic, or speed.
[19:24] Noctis
That's exactly why I want us to get rid
of the werewolf here and now!
[19:31] Ralf
I suppose we've no choice.
[19:33] Ralf
Cast a barrier, please.
[19:34] Seira
O-Okay.
[19:41] Ralf
Commander Noctis
and the members of Red Hlaada...
[19:44] Ralf
Swear upon your names that you will
not repeat what I'm about to tell you.
[19:54] Noctis
Very well.
[19:55] Noctis
I, Dylan Noctis, swear upon my name
that I will not repeat a word of it.
[20:00] Yuga
I, Yuga Alsto, represent Red Hlaada.
[20:03] Yuga
We also swear not to repeat
what we hear here.
[20:06] Ralf
Thank you.
[20:07] Ralf
We've discovered there's a high chance
that the increase in monster attacks
[20:11] Ralf
in the north is being artificially
orchestrated by some organization.
[20:17] Ralf
We haven't figured out why or who's behind it,
[20:20] Ralf
but we've decided to call this
mysterious organization "Runohark."
[20:25] Noctis
So you're saying that the kobolds were
driven here by this organization?
[20:28] Ralf
In smaller packs,
kobolds rarely attack humans.
[20:32] Ralf
We can probably retreat if we can
thin their numbers a little.
[20:35] Luck
But the kobolds have a human
on their side, don't they?
[20:39] Ralf
What do you mean?
[20:40] Yuga
Luck mentioned that he smelled
a human among the kobolds.
[20:44] Yuga
Also, I thought I heard...
[20:47] Yuga
the voice of a little girl.
[20:50] Ralf
Are you sure it wasn't just
a female adventurer or a kobold?
[20:55] Yuga
When you put it like that,
I'll admit that I don't know.
[20:58] Luck
My ears were pretty shot
from all the ruckus, too.
[21:02] Ralf
Even if the kobolds have
a human on their side,
[21:04] Ralf
it doesn't change the fact that we
need to make a swift decision.
[21:08] Ralf
People are still fighting
while we stand here.
[21:13] Noctis
Hmm...
[21:14] Noctis
If all that's true,
the kobolds aren't the only threat.
[21:19] Noctis
There's a possibility that much more savage
monsters may beset our town...
[21:24] Noctis
And if that ever happens,
we cannot afford to waste manpower.
[21:30] Noctis
Very well. Begin the retreat!
[21:34] Ralf
Thank goodness.
[21:40] Luck
What in the world?
[21:41] Yuga
Lightning!
[21:50] Yuga
Where are the kobolds?
[21:53] Luck
Did the lightning take them away?
[21:55] Yuga
You can't be serious.
What's going on with this battle?!

[00:18] Neema
This isn't fiction.
[00:20] Neema
They were really fighting for their lives.
[00:22] Neema
This isn't like the fights I've seen
from the other side of a screen.
[00:27] Neema
Some of those who were here just hours ago
[00:30] Neema
are no longer with us.
[00:34] Neema
This is all my fault!
[00:36] Neema
This is the result of my choices.
[00:39] Will
I guess Ralf's on the move.
[00:42] Will
Shinki, ready the lightning.
[00:46] Will
Kobolds, get ready to go.
Cover your eyes and ears.
[00:55] Ralf
Thank goodness.
[00:57] Ralf
They're retreating.
[00:58] Will
Now!
[01:10] Neema
This isn't a retreat.
[01:12] Neema
It's a withdrawal.
[01:17] Neema
The whole point of this battle
was to get to safety
[01:21] Neema
while mitigating the attack from the
extermination squad as best we could.
[01:28] Neema

Episode 12 After the Battle
[01:37] Sicily
They're here.
[01:41] Sicily
Where are the captured adventurers?
[01:43] Will
We left them behind.
[01:45] Will
They'll figure things out once they wake up.
[01:48] Will
The beastmaster will be
handed over to an investigator.
[01:54] Sicily
Looks like our numbers have suffered.
[01:57] Will
Fourteen out of the pack perished.
[02:00] Will
Eleven are gravely injured and were
either dismembered or otherwise disfigured.
[02:04] Will
The healers did everything they could,
but restoration is apparently difficult.
[02:11] Fighter 1
It's... It's all my fault!
[02:14] Fighter 1
Our leader... sacrificed himself to save me!
[02:23] Fighter 1
If I'd only moved faster...
[02:29] Fighter Leader
You've just gotta do what you've gotta do.
[02:41] Neema
You need to stop crying.
[02:45] Neema
It's rude to the fallen.
[02:52] Fighter 1
This is all because of you to begin with!
[02:55] Neema
Yes. I'm the one who let
these casualties happen.
[02:59] Neema
Which means I can't leave room for regret.
[03:02] Neema
So I won't let anyone disrespect
their memory any more.
[03:06] Fighter 2
So you won't let us mourn
the parents and friends we've lost?!
[03:12] Neema
I didn't say not to mourn them.
[03:14] Neema
I told you to stop feeling
sorry for yourselves.
[03:18] Neema
You think it should've been you?
[03:20] Neema
They're the ones who should've survived?
[03:24] Neema
That line of thinking is just selfish!
[03:28] Neema
Their ambition was this pack's future.
[03:32] Neema
They wanted those they risked
their lives for to be able to smile.
[03:36] Neema
You need to live strong so as not
to spit in the face of that!
[03:41] Neema
If you want to resent me, go ahead.
[03:44] Neema
But I...
[03:49] Neema
I'm going to become strong like they were!
[03:52] Neema
I'm going to put my life on the
line so you can all survive!
[04:06] Neema
I should've realized this sooner.
[04:09] Neema
As soon as Shinki recognized
me as his master,
[04:12] Neema
it fell on me to protect and lead the goblins.
[04:15] Neema
As soon as I invited the
kobolds into Project Shiana,
[04:18] Neema
I was supposed to protect them.
[04:21] Neema
I've chosen the path of a ruler.
[04:24] Neema
It's been a thorny road
with monsters as my subjects.
[04:28] Neema
But that's exactly why I can't
let their lives go to waste!
[04:33] Neema
I'm going to save the rest
of the kobolds no matter what!
[04:40] Spica
I'm going to get stronger, too!
[04:42] Neema
Little sister?
[04:44] Spica
I'm going to protect this pack
with Lady Neema!
[04:47] Sicily
You're right.
[04:49] Sicily
Grieving won't bring any of them back.
[04:52] Sicily
In which case...
[04:53] Sicily
We need to make the best
of the future they created for us!
[04:57] Sicily
I'm the one who brought her in.
[05:00] Sicily
If she'd have you direct
your resentment at her,
[05:03] Sicily
then I shall bear it with her.
[05:11] Sicily
Young lady... No, Lady Neema.
[05:15] Sicily
Please lead us to peace.
[05:18] Sicily
The stars are still telling me...
[05:21] Sicily
that you're our savior, Lady Neema.
[05:25] Neema
Are you sure you're okay with me?
[05:28] Sicily
We've made it through countless hardships
so far with the guidance of the stars.
[05:34] Sicily
And they're telling us to follow you
down the path you've chosen.
[05:40] Neema
But it might end up being a long, harsh road.
[05:47] Sicily
As the Star-Reader, I believe in the stars...
[05:52] Sicily
and Lady Neema!
[05:56] Neema
Are you all okay with this?
[06:04] Hanley
I have no objections.
[06:08] Hanley
As the leader of the healers, let me just
say that healing magic is not all-powerful.
[06:13] Hanley
All living things someday die.
[06:16] Hanley
We are no exception.
[06:18] Hanley
It also means that this was the
time for those who perished.
[06:22] Strength Leader
Die not as prey, but fighting in battle.
[06:25] Strength Leader
That is the creed of our hunters.
[06:28] Strength Leader
I think that's just fine.
[06:30] Insight Leader
I agree.
[06:32] Insight Leader
You're saying that you're going
to carry on their will, aren't you?
[06:43] Philosopher Leader
My lady, we will also help.
[06:46] Philosopher Leader
Please continue to look after our pack.
[06:50] Kobolds
Please!
[06:55] Neema
E-Everyone...
[07:01] Neema
I will!
[07:14] Neema
Afterward, we discussed
where to go from there.
[07:19] Neema
We decided to send the kobolds
to Mount Leitimo
[07:23] Neema
on the border of Mieuxga Province
to the southwest.
[07:25] Neema
As for the fallen, we temporarily
entrusted them to the Guardian of the Forest.
[07:32] Will
Now then, we really need to get back.
[07:36] Sicily
Lady Neema.
[07:39] Sicily
My little sister wishes to stay with you.
[07:43] Sicily
But she's still weak.
[07:44] Sicily
She'll train on our journey,
[07:46] Sicily
so would you be willing to
summon her when you need her?
[07:50] Neema
Did I just land myself
the best animal-eared maid ever?!
[07:54] Spica
Here's your tea!
[07:56] Neema
Well, you see, I am a noble's daughter.
[07:59] Neema
You'll have to live among the humans,
[08:02] Neema
and you'll have to learn
proper etiquette, too.
[08:05] Spica
If it's for you, Lady Neema...
[08:07] Spica
If it's for everyone, I'll do my best!
[08:09] Neema
Heck yes!
[08:11] Sicily
I'd like to honor my sister's decision
by acknowledging her maturity.
[08:15] Sicily
Lady Neema, would you give her a name?
[08:18] Neema
Huh? Me?
[08:21] Neema
Mr. Hanley said that the leader of
a pack was who named everyone.
[08:25] Sicily
Usually, yes.
[08:27] Sicily
But my little sister is a beastperson.
[08:29] Sicily
She's not a monster, so she won't
be bound to you by her name.
[08:32] Sicily
Not to mention, it's a very
blessed thing to encounter
[08:35] Sicily
a master who you believe to be perfect.
[08:41] Spica
Please, Lady Neema!
[08:44] Neema
In that case...
[08:45] Neema
She's a member of the Star Wolf Tribe.
I'll choose a name of a star...
[08:49] Neema
Spica!
[08:51] Neema
Your name is Spica!
[08:54] Neema
The star of spring that signifies
the end of cruel winter.
[09:00] Spica
Okay!
[09:00] Neema
Good, good. I'm glad she likes it.
[09:07] Neema
What's the matter?
[09:10] Sicily
Those two also want you
to name them, Lady Neema.
[09:14] Neema
Huh?
[09:15] Neema
But kobolds would be bound
to me by their names...
[09:19] Neema
What should I do?
[09:21] Sicily
Personally, I'd be grateful
if you could name them.
[09:24] Sicily
I'm curious to see how they'll grow up.
[09:27] Neema
What are they, guinea pigs?!
[09:29] Neema
Hmm, in that case...
[09:32] Neema
Gou, you'll be Seigo.
And Roku, you'll be Rikusei.
[09:40] Neema
H-Huh?
[09:42] Neema
The usual crest...
[09:45] Neema
There! It's under your fur!
[09:51] Neema
That tickles.
[09:52] Will
Neema.
[09:54] Will
We're heading back. We've heard from Ralf.
[09:57] Will
The extermination squad is
about to have their banquet.
[10:00] Neema
Okay.
[10:06] Sicily
Thanks for everything.
[10:07] Hanley
Take care.
[10:09] Neema
Be careful, everyone!
[10:11] Neema
We'll meet back up with all of you once
we're done with what we need to do.
[10:15] Spica
Lady Neema!
[10:17] Neema
Spica, this is goodbye for a little while.
[10:20] Spica
Yeah! Just wait for me!
[10:22] Kobolds
Goodbye!
[10:28] Neema
For sure, no matter what...
[10:31] Neema
let us meet again safe and sound!
[10:38] Will
We leave tomorrow at noon.
[10:41] Will
We'll spend a night in Galea,
[10:42] Will
then use transportation magic
in Darshleigh to get to Fauxbe.
[10:45] Will
However, this is all
riding on Healran's report.
[10:49] Healran
Fear not.
[10:51] Neema
Healran!
[10:53] Healran
Thank goodness you're all right.
[10:55] Will
You as well.
[10:56] Healran
I've brought the evidence we discussed.
[11:03] Healran
These are order and delivery receipts,
plus records of their usage.
[11:07] Healran
There were receipts
for additional orders later,
[11:09] Healran
but I couldn't find the goods anywhere.
[11:11] Healran
There are also signs of tampering
in the usage records.
[11:14] Neema
So the invoices are made-up?
[11:17] Neema
Which means that the merchants
and some of the knights are also involved.
[11:22] Will
Well done. We'll conduct an
investigation based on this.
[11:26] Will
I'll have the capital send agents at once.
[11:30] Neema
You won't catch them yourself, Will?
[11:32] Will
In truth, I don't want to waste
too much time here.
[11:35] Will
Besides, there's probably more to all of this.
[11:39] Will
We should be able to catch someone
other than the commander, too.
[11:42] Neema
Go figure...
[11:43] Will
I'd like to go over the details.
[11:45] Healran
Of course.
[11:50] Neema
Ralf!
[11:52] Ralf
Neema, are you hurt at all?
[11:55] Neema
I'm fine!
[11:56] Will
Sounds like you escaped
casualties on your side.
[11:59] Ralf
Yeah.
[12:00] Ralf
Everyone's already gathered
for the recognition banquet.
[12:08] Neema
So much yummy-looking stuff!
[12:12] Ralf
Don't go wandering off alone now.
Make sure you stay by me and Will.
[12:16] Neema
Of course!
[12:17] Regional Commander
Well, well, Prince Wilhelt and Lord Ralfreed.
[12:26] Regional Commander
I'm sure the knights will be
overjoyed that you're here.
[12:30] Will
I'm glad that the extermination
was a success.
[12:33] Will
Keep up the good work for our kingdom.
[12:36] Neema
Yeah, that's definitely an act...
[12:37] Regional Commander
Thank you very much. If you'll excuse me...
[12:44] Will
I want someone to keep an
eye on him for a while.
[12:46] Neema
In that case...
[12:48] Neema
Shinki, will you do it?
[12:51] Shinki
Sure.
[12:52] Neema
If he tries to run away or disobeys,
you have permission to capture him!
[12:55] Shinki
All right.
[12:58] Ralf
Neema, I'm going to go heal some people,
so make sure you stay with Will.
[13:02] Neema
Okay!
[13:04] Will
In that case, I guess we can
go talk to Red Hlaada.
[13:08] Neema
Red Hlaada?
[13:10] Will
Yeah. We at least need to pay our respects.
[13:25] Will
I heard that you performed
magnificently during this mission.
[13:29] Will
You have my thanks.
[13:30] Yuga
Oh, no, there's no need to thank us.
[13:33] Will
Hardly. It's because of you that
casualties on our side were so low.
[13:39] Neema
That sword...
[13:48] Neema
Lars?
[13:51] Neema
That's right. Right now, I'm supposed
to act like the daughter of a duke.
[13:55] Neema
I need to get a grip.
[14:03] Luck
I'm Luck of the Ice Bear Tribe.
[14:06] Luck
I'm honored to meet
the great wind holy beast.
[14:11] Neema
So he's a bear beastperson?
[14:18] Sign
Smack!
[14:21] Luck
What's your name, miss?
[14:23] Neema
Ahem. Pardon me.
[14:26] Neema
I'm the second daughter of
Dayland Osphe, Nefertima.
[14:29] Luck
Oh, so your dad's a duke.
[14:32] Luck
I'm not very good with human
etiquette and fancy talk,
[14:36] Luck
so I apologize in advance.
[14:38] Neema
I know there's a difference in cultures.
[14:44] Luck
You're not the master of the
wind holy beast, are you?
[14:48] Neema
That would be Will over there.
[14:50] Charlene
It's such an honor to meet you!
[14:53] Neema
Lars and I...
[14:56] Neema
are friends!
[14:58] Luck
What?!
[14:59] Luck
The holy beast is your friend?!
[15:02] Neema
Right?
[15:04] Luck
You sure are strange.
[15:06] Luck
Well, whatever.
[15:08] Luck
Now that I've greeted the holy beast,
I guess I'll go get some grub.
[15:15] Luck
You wanna tag along?
[15:17] Neema
Can I?!
[15:18] Luck
Sure.
[15:20] Luck
What should I eat first?
[15:22] Luck
Should I start with meat?
But there's also fish...
[15:29] Luck
Is there something you
want to eat, little lady?
[15:39] Luck
Oh, fine.
[15:43] Neema
Wow! I'm so high up! This is so fun!
[15:47] Luck
You sure are a brave little lady.
[15:49] Will
I'm expecting a lot from you—
[15:50] Neema
Will! I'm gonna go get
some food with Mr. Luck!
[15:55] Will
Neema? What about your promise to Ralf?
[15:58] Neema
Then come with us, Will!
[16:02] Will
Would you all come with me as well?
[16:04] Will
Looks like she's gotten a bit attached.
[16:07] Yuga
That's perfectly fine.
Luck seems happy, too.
[16:10] Charlene
Well, this is rare.
[16:12] Charlene
Luck loves children,
but kids are always so afraid of him.
[16:19] Neema
U-Um, Mr. Luck?
[16:22] Neema
May I touch your ears?
[16:25] Luck
Sure, why not?
[16:31] Neema
Yes! This is what I've been waiting for!
[16:34] Neema
The bottom is thin but has
a delightful fluffy feel!
[16:37] Neema
The top is firm and has a nice texture!
[16:40] Neema
Maximum healing!
[16:46] Luck
What's the matter?
[16:48] Luck
Say, Mr. Luck...
[16:51] Luck
Belgar Crius.
[16:54] Belgar
You!
[16:56] Belgar
Wh-What do you want?
Don't get in the way of my work.
[17:00] Neema
I won't.
[17:02] Belgar
O-Oh, okay...
[17:05] Neema
I can see you're working hard.
[17:09] Belgar
All in order to survive.
[17:12] Belgar
Nefertima, when I get stronger,
I'm gonna come rub it in your face!
[17:16] (Flashback) Belgar
I'm gonna be as strong as my dad
so that I can protect everyone!
[17:21] Belgar
Don't forget our promise.
[17:23] Neema
You either, Belgar.
[17:25] Neema
I guess that makes us friends now.
[17:27] Belgar
Wha—
[17:29] Manager
Belgar!
[17:31] Manager
Why are you out here playing?
The dishes are piling up again!
[17:35] Belgar
Y-Yes, sir! Sorry! I'll be right there!
[17:41] Manager
This one.
[17:43] Belgar
Yes, sir!
[17:51] Luck
You're not very noble-like, little lady.
[17:53] Neema
Yeah, I get that a lot...
[18:00] Ralf
Neema, sorry I'm la—
[18:02] Karna
Neema!
[18:04] Neema
Karna!
[18:09] Ralf
Karna, please let Neema go.
[18:12] Karna
Oh, s-sorry!
[18:16] Karna
Neema, I missed you so much.
[18:19] Karna
Okay, now tell me all about
what you've been doing without me.
[18:23] Neema
I'd love to, Karna!
[18:30] Neema
So yummy!
[18:33] Nox
Cheep.
[18:34] Neema
Nox, Gratia, Haku, do you all want seconds?
[18:42] Nox
Cheep.
[18:43] Karna
You really did form pacts with monsters...
[18:46] Karna
Neema, you truly are beloved
by the God of Divine Creation.
[18:50] Neema
Beloved?
[18:53] Neema
Yeah, maybe I am. But...
[18:59] Neema
There's still so much I need
to study because of that.
[19:03] Karna
Study?
[19:05] Neema
About countries and people...
I basically need to study lots.
[19:09] Neema
Because now I know that my status
means I have lots of responsibilities.
[19:14] Neema
I don't want to burden my family
just because I'm little.
[19:17] Neema
I want to live such that I don't
bring shame upon on our name.
[19:21] Karna
Neema...
[19:25] Karna
You must've gone through something really big.
[19:32] Neema
Yeah.
[19:34] Luck
I don't really get what all this is about...
[19:37] Luck
but you can count on us if
you're ever in any trouble.
[19:40] Luck
Though all I can do is fight.
[19:44] Neema
I will! Thank you.
[19:48] Neema
Mr. Luck is a nice guy.
[19:51] Neema
Someday, I hope I can make people
understand that there are some monsters
[19:55] Neema
you can actually talk to.
[19:57] Neema
I'm pretty sure that Mr. Luck and the
Fighter Leader would've gotten along.
[20:02] Neema
He was a wonderful old man.
[20:14] Sol
Neema. Neema.
[20:17] Sol
Wake up, Neema.
[20:27] Neema
Sol!
[20:29] Neema
What are you doing in Lenice?
[20:30] Sol
It's nothing urgent, but...
[20:33] Sol
Can you step out?
[20:34] Neema
Huh?
[20:36] Sol
I'd like to show you a bit of this world.
[20:50] Neema
Wow! It's so pretty!
[20:53] Sol
Let us head a little further north.
[20:59] Sol
This world is brimming with beautiful things.
[21:03] Sol
Humans are fools for not seeing it.
[21:08] Neema
Yeah, you're right.
[21:11] Neema
Humans are foolish and weak,
yet serious and pure.
[21:16] Neema
Other living things come in many forms,
and they're also
[21:19] Neema
just doing what they can to survive.
[21:22] Neema
Say, Sol.
[21:24] Neema
I love this world.
[21:26] Neema
I love everyone and everything here.
[21:29] Neema
So I swear on my name as Nefertima Osphe
[21:34] Neema
I'm going to make Project Shiana a success.
[21:37] Neema
And...
[21:39] Neema
I'm going to make this a place where
everyone can become one within this light.
[21:56] Sign
Fluffy Paradise
[21:56] Neema
Someday, for sure!
[23:36] Sign
The End
