[00:07] Neema
    Ta-da!
[00:09] Neema
    Ta-da!
[00:10] Neema
    Ta-daaa!
[00:16] Neema
    I haven't forgotten anything!
[00:23] Mayor
    Please be careful.
[00:25] Dayland
    We will. Thank you for everything.
[00:27] Neema
    The protective pendant and knife
    I received on my birthday...
[00:31] Neema
    I didn't think I'd be using them so soon!
[00:34] Neema
    I'll put them in my bunny bag.
[00:39] Nox
    Cheep!
[00:41] Nox
    Cheep.
[00:42] Neema
    Nox!
[00:43] Nox
    Cheep.
[00:46] Neema
    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!
[00:55] Neema
    All right, let's march right into that forest!
[00:58] Nox
    Cheep!

    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*?!
[03:41] Sign

    K
[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.
