**[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?!*
**[03:54] SIGN**
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?*
**[16:32] TRISTAN**
Or will she be your excuse when I beat you?
**[16:36] SIGN**
R
**[16:36] SIGN**
A
**[16:36] SIGN**
G
**[16:36] SIGN**
E
**[16:38] NEEMA**
Ralf is strong! He won't lose!
**[16:42] TRISTAN**
What would a mere child know?
**[16:45] SIGN**
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!
**[21:43] KARNA**
Neema?!
**[21:52] NEEMA**
Don't hurt him!

**[00:01] Neema**
Don't hurt him!
**[00:05] Teacher dressed as a knight**
A child?
**[00:07] Teacher dressed as a mage**
What's going on?
**[00:08] Neema**
*Okay, this should—*
**[00:10] Sol**
This is no place for children.
**[00:16] Neema**
*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.
**[00:43] Sol**
You wish to touch me?
**[00:46] Neema**
Oh, yeah! I wanna give you pats!
**[00:49] Sol**
You do not fear me?
**[00:51] Neema**
Nuh-uh!
**[00:53] Sol**
What a strange child.
**[00:58] Teacher dressed as a knight**
The fire dragon!
**[00:59] Teacher dressed as a mage**
Prepare to attack!
**[01:01] Wilhelt**
Halt!
**[01:13] Neema**
Pat, pat!
**[01:15] Neema**
Doesn't that feel nice?
**[01:28] Sign**
Fluffy Paradise
**[02:50] Sign**
Episode 2 I've Been Summoned
**[02:53] Wilhelt**
I don't believe it...
**[02:55] Neema**
* I thought he might feel hot,*
* but he's so cool and smooth!*
**[02:59] Sol**
Should you get older and ever need me,
**[03:03] Sol**
I shall acknowledge you as my master.
**[03:08] Neema**
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!

**[00:00] Neema**
* Today, we've come to the beast knight*
* stables, which have lots of rare animals!*
* *
**[00:05] Neema**
* The captain of the Beast Knights Legion*
* is supposed to take us around.*
**[00:09] Neema**
*I wonder what he's like!*
**[00:12] Dan**
Hey, looks like he's already here.
**[00:19] Les**
It's a pleasure to meet you, my lady.
**[00:21] Les**
I am the captain of a special squad
called the Beast Knights Legion.
**[00:25] Les**
My name is Lestin Ogma.
**[00:27] Les**
Please, call me Les.
**[00:30] Neema**
*Oh, he seems nice and pleasant.*
**[00:33] Neema**
I'm Nefertima Osphe.
**[00:35] Neema**
Pweased to meet you, Mister Les.
**[00:37] Les**
The pleasure is all mine.
**[00:42] Les**
* So this is Lady Nefertima,*
* who I keep hearing about.*
**[00:45] Les**
*She's so ordinary.*
**[00:46] Neema**
I can walk all by myself!
**[00:48] Dan**
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.*
**[01:23] Les**
*Very well. I shall accept this challenge.*

Episode 3 A Lovely Gift
**[02:59] Les**
Now then...
**[03:00] Les**
Welcome to the beast stables.
**[03:02] Neema**
It's so big!
**[03:04] Neema**
*It's like a safari park!*
**[03:06] Dan**
This place is also maintained by magic
so the animals can live their best lives.
**[03:13] Neema**
Mister horsey!
**[03:16] Les**
While we're at it, why don't we
take a look around from horseback?
**[03:21] Neema**
Can we really?!
**[03:29] Neema**
*Oh my gosh! He's so cool!*
**[03:32] Neema**
* His mane is so silky smooth!*
* He's so valiant yet elegant!*
**[03:37] Les**
This is Uwaz, the leader of the herd.
**[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
(Workshops & Schools)
**[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**
From the imperial guard.
**[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!
**[21:56] Neema**
Let's be great fwiends, Nox!

Nox!
**[00:07] Nox**
Cheep?
**[00:13] Dan**
Talk about birds of a feather.
**[00:14] Les**
Indeed. I knew she'd been training Nox,
but to think they've made so much progress...
**[00:18] Les**
Lady Nefertima is truly full of surprises.
**[00:22] Neema**
We're already best fwiends!
**[00:24] Nox**
Cheep!
**[00:25] Les**
Why don't we try having
Nox fly even further tomorrow?
**[00:30] Nox**
Cheep.
**[00:32] Dan**

Episode 4 I Hate Studying!
**[02:18] Neema**
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.

**[00:31] Neema**

I'll put them in my bunny bag.

I'll be counting on you as our lookout.
**[00:48] Nox**
Cheep.
**[00:49] Dayland**
We don't know when we'll run into monsters.
**[00:52] Dayland**
Stay on your guard, everyone.
**[00:54] All**
Yes, sir!

Episode 5 Surprised by the Monsters in the Forest!
**[02:36] Guide**
I spotted the monsters right up here.
**[02:39] Guide**
I've been hunting in this area for decades,
**[02:43] Guide**
but I've never seen anything
like this before.
**[02:46] Neema**
* We're definitely on a game trail.*
* This forest is really deep, too.*
**[02:50] Neema**
*She's watching out for us from above, but...*
**[02:56] Dayland**
All right. Let's take a break here.
**[02:58] Guide**
We have some packed lunches from the mayor.
**[03:02] Neema**
I'm hungry!
**[03:05] Cadence**
Please stand back.
***SIGN*** It's just a rabbit!
**[03:29] Neema**
*A-A rabbit?! That furball's a rabbit?*
***SIGN*** My lady...
**[03:33] Neema**
Are you okay?
**[03:35] Neema**
* Actually, it's not moving at all.*
* I wonder what's wrong.*
**[03:39] Neema**
Ah!
**[03:41] Neema**
*I-It ran away! From* me*?!*

**[03:45] Cadence**
My lady, let's get away from here.
**[03:48] Neema**
Huh?
**[03:49] Cadence**
Monsters lured here by the scent
of blood are bound to be vicious.
**[03:54] Neema**
*That little guy must've been hurt!*
***SIGN*** We didn't come here to exterminate the monsters,
***SIGN*** so we should do all we can to avoid them.
**[04:04] Cadence**
My lady!
**[04:05] Dayland**
Neema!
**[04:07] Neema**
*I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't do this...*
**[04:09] Neema**
* But I can't leave that little*
* creature alone if it's hurt!*
**[04:15] Neema**
*I wonder where it went.*
**[04:21] Neema**
There you are!
**[04:23] Neema**
Come here, little one!
**[04:35] Neema**
*Wait, what? It's so tame now!*
**[04:38] Neema**
*How cute!*
**[04:40] Neema**
*Oh, of course.*
**[04:41] Neema**
* It must have been running*
* from the knights earlier.*
**[04:46] Neema**
*Sorry we scared you.*
**[04:49] Neema**
* I guess I haven't lost my floofing*
* powers after all. Thank goodness!*
**[04:54] Neema**
Okay, let's head back and
get you fixed right up.
**[04:58] Neema**
I wonder if that's Father and the others.
**[05:02] Neema**
Wh-What the?!
***SIGN*** Th-This is...
**[05:13] Neema**
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!

**[00:07] Dayland**
That's...
**[00:08] Dayland**
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**
Look out!
**[01:14] Neema**
Wow!
**[01:16] Neema**
* Even though he's a huge*
* hobgoblin capable of speech,*
**[01:18] Neema**
*to the frost spider, he's just food.*
**[01:21] Neema**
*This is...*
**[01:25] Neema**
* This is a hardcore life-or-death*
* battle for survival!*

Episode 6 The Desire to Become Stronger
**[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.*
**[01:18] Sign**

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.
**[01:12] Sign**

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...*
**[01:24] Neema**
But no one told me it'd be this hard!

Episode 9 Guardian of the Forest, Please...!
**[03:01] Neema**
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.

Episode 11 The Path I Chose
**[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?!

Cover your eyes and ears.

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
