**[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.
**[02:38] Sign**

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.
**[23:35] Sign**
