[00:18] Neema
    This isn't fiction.
[00:20] Neema
    They were really fighting for their lives.
[00:22] Neema
    This isn't like the fights I've seen
    from the other side of a screen.
[00:27] Neema
    Some of those who were here just hours ago
[00:30] Neema
    are no longer with us.
[00:34] Neema
    This is all my fault!
[00:36] Neema
    This is the result of my choices.
[00:39] Will
    I guess Ralf's on the move.
[00:42] Will
    Shinki, ready the lightning.
[00:46] Will
    Kobolds, get ready to go.
    Cover your eyes and ears.
[00:55] Ralf
    Thank goodness.
[00:57] Ralf
    They're retreating.
[00:58] Will
    Now!
[01:10] Neema
    This isn't a retreat.
[01:12] Neema
    It's a withdrawal.
[01:17] Neema
    The whole point of this battle
    was to get to safety
[01:21] Neema
    while mitigating the attack from the
    extermination squad as best we could.
[01:28] Neema
    But...
[01:33] Sign
    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.
