SIGN    Heart of Darkness
[00:03] High Elf Archer
    So what are we going to do now?
[00:05] Goblin Slayer
    We're going to set traps and head up.
[00:07] High Elf Archer
    Traps?
[00:08] Goblin Slayer
    You'll see in a second.
[00:10] High Elf Archer
    But we're going up now?
[00:13] Goblin Slayer
    These goblins set up a base
    in a building like this.
[00:15] Goblin Slayer
    It's pretty easy to figure
    out what they're thinking.
[00:18] Goblin Slayer
    The most important one is going to be at
    either the very top or the very bottom.
[00:23] High Elf Archer
    Ah...
[00:25] Goblin Slayer
    The only problem is the...
[00:26] High Elf Archer
    Mokele Mubenbe?
[00:28] High Elf Archer
    Would you remember it already?
[00:31] Goblin Slayer
    The problem is that the one controlling
    that thing is most likely a spellcaster.
[00:40] Priestess
    Are you all right?
[00:41] Goblin Slayer
    I'm fine.
[00:42] Priestess
    Thank goodness.
[00:43] High Elf Archer
    Why didn't the ancients bother making a lift?
[00:48] High Elf Archer
    Oh.
[00:51] Lizardman Priest
    It does seem to be working.
[00:54] Lizardman Priest
    And yet...
[00:56] Lizardman Priest
    What's this?
[00:58] Lizardman Priest
    Ah, I see.
[00:59] Lizardman Priest
    This doesn't move by key. It moves by code.
[01:04] Priestess
    What about this?
[01:06] Priestess
    At first, I thought the numbers on
    here were just associated with the key.
[01:10] Goblin Slayer
    Give it a try.
[01:12] Priestess
    Okay.
[01:27] Priestess
    It looks like we were right.
[01:29] High Elf Archer
    Do you think there are any traps?
[01:31] Goblin Slayer
    I'm sure it's not a simple enough setup
    that the goblins can mess around with it.
[01:35] Priestess
    Let's go.
[01:37] Priestess
    We must defeat the goblins.
[01:40] Goblin Slayer
    Yeah.
[01:42] Goblin Slayer
    We're going to slay all the goblins.
[03:20] High Elf Archer
    Sorry...
[03:21] High Elf Archer
    But also... thank you, everyone.
[03:26] High Elf Archer
    I invited you all here for my sister's
    wedding, but it turned into this mess.
[03:30] Dwarf Shaman
    Eh, it's no big deal.
[03:33] Dwarf Shaman
    It feels great to make
    the elves owe me a debt.
[03:37] Dwarf Shaman
    And well, you know...
[03:40] Dwarf Shaman
    We're friends.
[03:43] Lizardman Priest
    You're always taking care of us, Lady Archer.
[03:47] Lizardman Priest
    This is nothing.
[03:50] Priestess
    Plus, you know...
[03:51] Priestess
    Any mention of goblins and
    Goblin Slayer will take off.
[03:56] Priestess
    Right?
[03:58] Goblin Slayer
    Yeah.
[04:00] High Elf Archer
    For crying out loud...
[04:02] High Elf Archer
    We've only been around each other
    for a little over a year,
[04:06] High Elf Archer
    yet we're thick as thieves.
[04:08] Dwarf Shaman
    You'd better not forget me
    for at least a century.
[04:11] High Elf Archer
    You dwarves are so dumb.
[04:14] High Elf Archer
    Of course I'd never forget any of you.
[04:24] High Elf Archer
    All right.
[04:28] High Elf Archer
    I hear wind, footsteps, murmurings...
[04:31] High Elf Archer
    Probably a roof or an arcade.
[04:33] High Elf Archer
    There are a lot of them.
[04:34] Goblin Slayer
    I want to cut right through.
[04:37] Goblin Slayer
    What do you think?
[04:39] Lizardman Priest
    Why don't we go for the most
    orthodox method for now?
[04:43] Lizardman Priest
    Sir Goblin Slayer, you take the front.
[04:45] Lizardman Priest
    Sir Spellcaster and I will take both flanks.
[04:48] Lizardman Priest
    Lady Priestess, stay behind Lady Archer.
[04:50] Priestess
    U-Understood.
[04:52] High Elf Archer
    So you just need me to look out in
    all directions and call out support.
[04:57] Lizardman Priest
    You are the key.
[04:58] High Elf Archer
    I know.
[05:00] Dwarf Shaman
    Good grief. I am a mage, you know.
[05:03] Goblin Slayer
    We're counting on you.
[05:05] Dwarf Shaman
    Yes, yes, I know.
[05:07] Dwarf Shaman
    I'll show you just how
    manly dwarven men can be.
[05:12] Lizardman Priest
    And we lizardmen are all noble warriors.
[05:33] Goblin Slayer
    You've got this?
[05:37] Priestess
    Yes, I can do this.
[05:39] Goblin Slayer
    Once we open this,
    we're going to run. Get ready.
[05:41] High Elf Archer
    What about the spellcaster?
[05:42] Goblin Slayer
    If you find it, take it down first.
    That's the only choice we have.
[05:45] Dwarf Shaman
    I know I'm stating the obvious,
    but what a pain in the ass.
[05:49] Goblin Slayer
    Even if it casts a spell
    that affects our status,
[05:51] Goblin Slayer
    if one of us can still move,
    you'll have to regroup.
[05:54] Goblin Slayer
    As long as we don't all go down,
    we'll have a plan.
[05:57] Priestess
    And if we all go down?
[05:58] Goblin Slayer
    Just don't.
[06:01] Priestess
    Well, all right. I'll do my best
    to make sure that doesn't happen.
[06:04] Goblin Slayer
    Yeah. Don't use any spells.
[06:06] Goblin Slayer
    Just miracles.
[06:07] Lizardman Priest
    Right.
[06:07] Priestess
    Okay.
[06:10] Lizardman Priest
    O sickle wings of the velociraptor...
[06:12] Lizardman Priest
    Slice, fly, and hunt!
[06:18] Priestess
    O merciful Earth Mother,
[06:20] Priestess
    please protect us, the weak,
    with the powers of the earth.
[06:24] Goblin Slayer
    Let's go.
[06:32] Goblin Slayer
    That's one.
[06:37] Goblin Slayer
    That's two.
[06:38] Lizardman Priest
    O Great Sheep who walked the Cretaceous...
[06:41] Lizardman Priest
    Grant to us a modicum of your
    long-sung success in battle!
[06:49] Dwarf Shaman
    Damn it. I've seen more goblins
    than I want to in a whole lifetime.
[06:53] Dwarf Shaman
    You sure are cheerful, Scaly.
[06:57] High Elf Archer
    Over there! There's one with a
    weird-looking staff over there!
[07:02] Goblin Slayer
    A shaman? That's eight.
[07:04] Goblin Slayer
    Can you take it out?
[07:05] High Elf Archer
    I'll give it a try.
[07:07] Priestess
    Take that!
[07:25] Priestess
    O merciful Earth Mother, please bless us,
[07:29] Priestess
    the wanderers in the
    darkness, with holy light!
[07:40] High Elf Archer
    All right! You're mine!
[08:02] High Elf Archer
    Crap!
[08:04] Lizardman Priest
    Keep your senses about you!
[08:10] Priestess
    It feels like I'm underwater.
[08:16] Priestess
    Goblin Slayer!
[08:19] Priestess
    Everyone!
[08:32] Priestess
    No...
[08:45] Priestess
    Impure.
[08:47] Priestess
    O merciful Earth Mother,
[08:49] Priestess
    please, by your revered hand,
    cleanse us of our corruption.
[08:53] Priestess
    Purify!
[09:17] Priestess
    Huh?
[09:28] Priestess
    Huh?
[09:36] Priestess
    What... What have I done?
[09:46] Goblin Slayer
    Well done.
[09:50] Goblin Slayer
    Well done.
[09:56] Priestess
    R-Right...
[09:58] Goblin Slayer
    Good.
[10:09] Goblin Slayer
    That's nineteen. Stand up.
[10:13] High Elf Archer
    O-Orcbolg...
[10:14] Goblin Slayer
    Drink this.
[10:17] Goblin Slayer
    Use this!
[10:21] Dwarf Shaman
    I'm all good over here, Beard-cutter.
[10:25] Lizardman Priest
    Sir Goblin Slayer, let us regroup.
[10:27] Goblin Slayer
    Thanks.
[10:32] Priestess
    Goblin Slayer...
[10:34] Goblin Slayer
    You did well.
[10:39] Priestess
    R-Right...
[10:42] Lizardman Priest
    Gorgosaurus, beautiful though wounded,
    may I partake in the healing of your body!
[10:53] Goblin Slayer
    We're moving ahead.
[10:54] Goblin Slayer
    Can you run?
[10:55] High Elf Archer
    I'm fine. Come on, let's go.
[10:57] Priestess
    Yes. I can also go.
[11:00] Priestess
    I will go!
[11:04] Goblin Slayer
    That's twenty-two.
[11:05] Lizardman Priest
    Sir Spellcaster, are you ready?
[11:09] Dwarf Shaman
    You bet. Considering all the
    trouble we went through for this.
[11:15] Goblin Slayer
    That's twenty-four.
[11:22] Goblin Slayer
    Jump!
[11:28] Dwarf Shaman
    Spin the buckets, gnomes!
    Make them spin and spin and let them go!
[11:35] Lizardman Priest
    Falling Control...
[11:37] Lizardman Priest
    It was good that you saved that spell.
[11:39] Dwarf Shaman
    I know what I'm doing.
[11:43] High Elf Archer
    You okay?
[11:44] Lizardman Priest
    This went well.
[11:46] Lizardman Priest
    I wasn't so sure how things
    would end up for a moment.
[11:49] Goblin Slayer
    Yeah.
[11:51] Goblin Slayer
    This is the best way to
    take care of the goblins.
[12:24] High Elf Archer
    I-Is that going to be okay?
[12:26] Goblin Slayer
    The hole made to the fortress
    on the embankment using
[12:30] Goblin Slayer
    the Tunnel spell will eventually close up.
[12:32] Goblin Slayer
    This building won't be destroyed.
[12:33] High Elf Archer
    That's not what I meant.
    I'm talking about the water that's inside.
[12:37] Goblin Slayer
    I can't do anything about that.
[12:38] Goblin Slayer
    We'll just have to let the elves
    know later to deal with it.
[12:43] Dwarf Shaman
    And once we get back,
    there's a wedding to go to.
[12:48] Dwarf Shaman
    You haven't thought about marriage yourself?
[12:51] High Elf Archer
    Not for another thousand years, at least.
[12:53] Dwarf Shaman
    That might be too late.
[12:54] High Elf Archer
    What'd you say?!
[12:56] Lizardman Priest
    Once I become a dragon,
    may I take you as a dragon's bride?
[13:01] High Elf Archer
    Wait, what? Are you asking me out? Seriously?
[13:04] Lizardman Priest
    Well, we'll just have to
    see in a thousand years.
[13:11] Goblin Slayer
    Are you tired?
[13:12] Priestess
    Oh, no. I'm not... but maybe a little.
[13:16] Goblin Slayer
    I see.
[13:20] Priestess
    Will I be able to continue believing
    in the great Earth Mother?
[13:25] Priestess
    Am I worthy of receiving miracles
    from the great Earth Mother?
[13:32] Priestess
    Have I been able to grow even
    a little from a year ago?
[13:38] Goblin Slayer
    Look.
[13:38] Priestess
    Huh?
[13:40] Goblin Slayer
    A rainbow.
[14:00] Hero
    Dawn Strike!
[14:04] Hero
    Hell! It's Hell!
[14:10] Hero
    Carbunculus... Crescunt... Iacta!
[14:17] Hero
    I can keep going, but how are
    the rest of you holding up?
[14:22] Swordmaster
    It's... probably going
    to take a little longer.
[14:27] Sage
    The flow of water has changed above.
[14:30] Sage
    It seems our opponent's
    magic circle has broken.
[14:32] Sage
    Sealing them again will be easier now.
[14:34] Hero
    Huh? I wonder if there were
    other adventurers around.
[14:38] Sword Maiden
    The gate to Hell is about to open.
[14:42] Sword Maiden
    We connected somewhere forbidden...
[14:45] Sword Maiden
    We opened the gate to transfer us to Hell.
[14:49] Sword Maiden
    Though it has been sealed,
[14:52] Sword Maiden
    the gate will eventually open again.
[14:55] Hero
    Considering that timing
    is apparently right now...
[14:57] Hero
    I can't tell if my luck is good or bad.
[15:00] Sage
    Maybe it's the elves.
[15:02] Swordmaster
    I'm not so sure.
[15:03] Swordmaster
    They're slow to act, so I'm not sure if
[15:05] Swordmaster
    they'd bother to take action
    at such an opportune time.
[15:08] Sage
    When an elf points,
[15:10] Sage
    their hand can pierce through vital points
    at the most unexpected angles.
[15:15] Hero
    Well, whatever!
[15:17] Hero
    Once we beat all these guys,
    everything will be solved!
[15:22] Hero
    Here we go!
[15:38] Priest
    And now, if you would exchange your vows.
[15:45] Helmeted Elf
    Usamiakitowotoku riinomochinneie
    inoyurun'ahowo chihionokahisatawa.
[15:53] Forest Princess
    Usamiakitowotoku oshiroyuinawoto
    kisototowo chihionokahisatawa.
[16:08] Priest
    Did you hear the blessings from the forest?
[16:11] Helmeted Elf
    Yes.
[16:12] Forest Princess
    Yes.
[16:13] Priest
    Then...
[16:28] Priest
    Their vows have been exchanged!
[16:31] Priest
    A new forest will be born
     where that arrow lands.
[16:35] Priest
    Tonight shall be regarded as
    the moonlit night in which
[16:38] Priest
    the rainbow appeared for centuries to come.
[16:50] Elf 1
    So what happened when you were
    caught in the goblins' trap?
[16:54] Dwarf Shaman
    W-Well, me and long-ear—
    I mean, your princess—were about to—
[16:59] Elf 2
    I'm sorry for all the trouble
    our princess must be causing you.
[17:04] Dwarf Shaman
    No, no, not at all.
[17:05] Dwarf Shaman
    She's actually rather quick-witted.
[17:10] Dwarf Shaman
    Hey, Scaly! Give me a hand real quick!
[17:13] Lizardman Priest
    What is the matter, Sir Spellcaster?
[17:15] Dwarf Shaman
    I can't handle all of them on my own.
[17:19] Lizardman Priest
    Well, well, in that case...
[17:22] Lizardman Priest
    Elves, how about I tell you the
    tale of the greatest lizardman,
[17:26] Lizardman Priest
    the one with black scales
    who could summon storms?
[17:30] Elf 1
    Oh, hey, I know of him.
    I've met him before.
[17:34] Lizardman Priest
    Then I hope you enjoy the truth and
    legends of a century and millennium ago.
[17:45] High Elf Archer
    Yeah, Elder Sister is definitely embarrassed.
[17:49] Goblin Slayer
    You don't need to go?
[17:52] Goblin Slayer
    This is your home, isn't it?
[17:53] High Elf Archer
    Oh, nah. It's no big deal.
[17:55] High Elf Archer
    For them, to put it in human terms,
[17:58] High Elf Archer
    it'd only feel like I was
    away for two or three days.
[18:01] Goblin Slayer
    I see.
[18:02] High Elf Archer
    My sister did say she'd write me
    once things settled down.
[18:09] High Elf Archer
    Why don't you write a letter?
[18:10] High Elf Archer
    You haven't been back to
    your homeland, have you?
[18:13] Goblin Slayer
    No one would read a letter from me.
[18:16] Goblin Slayer
    I'm an incompetent younger brother.
[18:19] High Elf Archer
    Is that so? I honestly think
    you're doing a good job.
[18:23] High Elf Archer
    You're even silver-ranked.
[18:25] Goblin Slayer
    I see.
[18:28] Goblin Slayer
    I see...
[18:29] High Elf Archer
    Seriously, Orcbolg.
    All you ever say is, "I see."
[18:35] Goblin Slayer
    Are you going?
[18:37] High Elf Archer
    A girl has her own ways of having fun.
[18:41] Goblin Slayer
    I'm glad...
[18:43] Goblin Slayer
    I'm glad your sister was able to get married.
[18:47] High Elf Archer
    Thanks.
[18:52] High Elf Archer
    What's the matter? You seem down.
[18:55] Priestess
    Oh, no. I'm fine...
[18:58] High Elf Archer
    Don't lie to me.
[19:00] High Elf Archer
    It doesn't matter what it is.
[19:01] High Elf Archer
    If you've got something pent up, just say it.
[19:03] High Elf Archer
    We're here to celebrate today.
[19:05] Priestess
    Then what do the vows they
    exchanged earlier mean, exactly?
[19:09] High Elf Archer
    Oh, that? They just basically
    swore they'd be together forever.
[19:15] High Elf Archer
    Of course, that's forever in elf terms.
[19:19] High Elf Archer
    Will you say a prayer?
[19:20] Priestess
    A prayer?
[19:22] High Elf Archer
    Yeah, to the Earth Mother.
[19:25] High Elf Archer
    Elves do have some ties
    with her, too, you know.
[19:30] Priestess
    Very well.
[19:34] Priestess
    O merciful Earth Mother, please, by your
    revered hand, may all their paths bear good fruit.
[19:54] Priestess
    It looks like my prayer
    reached the Earth Mother.
[19:58] High Elf Archer
    Now my sister will be all set.
[20:00] Priestess
    Yes.
[20:03] High Elf Archer
    In that case, come on. Let's go.
[20:05] Priestess
    Huh?
[20:09] High Elf Archer
    Hey, you two! Over here!
[20:14] Cow Girl
    You know, I'm really nervous.
[20:17] Cow Girl
    I've never been to a party like this before.
[20:19] Guild Girl
    Confidence is the key.
    Just be confident.
[20:22] High Elf Archer
    Oh? I guess you're used to these occasions?
[20:25] Guild Girl
    I was trained for these at home.
[20:27] Guild Girl
    Not to mention, there are parties
    like this in my line of work.
[20:31] High Elf Archer
    Huh... Well, whatever.
[20:34] High Elf Archer
    Hey, look! Let's head up front.
[20:39] Cow Girl
    What's about to start?
[20:41] High Elf Archer
    You'll see in a sec.
[20:43] Guild Girl
    Oh, is this the gift from the bride?
[20:47] Priestess
    Oh, I've heard of that before!
[20:49] Priestess
    They say the person who receives
    it will be able to get married.
[20:52] Priestess
    I've helped out at a ceremony before.
[20:55] High Elf Archer
    If she's gonna hand it out,
    it'd be a shame not to take it.
[20:59] Cow Girl
    Huh...
[21:05] Cow Girl
    Never hold back at times like these.
[21:08] Priestess
    Oh, r-right.
[21:10] Forest Princess
    Love is fate. Fate is death.
[21:16] Forest Princess
    Then may the next love and affection
    go to the maidens fated for death.
[21:44] High Elf Archer
    We then had fun for three days and three
    nights before returning to the town.
[21:50] High Elf Archer
    Quite a bit of time has passed since,
    but my sister's letter still hasn't reached me.
[21:56] High Elf Archer
    Which probably means that their
    banquet still continues today.
