[00:16] CELINA     Dolan, we seem to have     entered an elf forest. [00:20] DOLAN     Yeah, but it's okay. [00:22] DOLAN     We didn't come here to fight, after all. [00:26] DOLAN     Still, you two should get     behind me just in case. [00:33] GIO     My human and lamia friends. [00:35] GIO     Firstly, let me express my gratitude for     the help you provided our friend Merl. [00:40] GIO     Thank you. [00:45] GIO     But Ente belongs to us forest dwellers. [00:50] GIO     Why have you set foot in this place? SIGN    Visitors from the Dark [02:29] DOLAN     I'm Dolan, from Verun Village. [02:32] DOLAN     Some disturbing monsters have started     appearing in the vicinity of our village. [02:36] DOLAN     We surmised that something was going on     in the forest and came to investigate, [02:41] DOLAN     but I realize now that we should've     asked for your permission first. [02:44] DOLAN     I apologize for that. [02:45] GIO     I see. I cannot blame you for     coming here for such a reason. [02:52] GIO     But I will suggest that you leave, at once. [02:56] GIO     Because this forest is currently     in an extremely perilous state. [03:01] DOLAN     Are you talking about the demon troops? [03:06] DOLAN     I see. So they've appeared     in your village, too? [03:10] GIO     "Appeared" doesn't begin to describe it. [03:14] GIO     We're currently waging war against     the demon army in this forest. [03:20] CHRISTINA     Wait! How are you dealing with it? [03:24] CHRISTINA     Do you have enough forces? [03:26] CHRISTINA     Have you reported this     emergency to the kingdom? [03:29] CHRISTINA     Is your village truly safe?! [03:33] CELINA     Christina! [03:35] CELINA     Calm down! [03:37] CELINA     Look, the elves seem troubled. [03:40] CHRISTINA     Even one of that bizarre     creature is dangerous, [03:42] CHRISTINA     and there's a whole army of them? [03:46] CHRISTINA     Tell me, is your village not in     extreme danger as we speak?! [03:51] CHRISTINA     If there is anything we can     do to help, we'll do it! [04:05] CHRISTINA     Oh, forgive me. I lost my composure. [04:09] CELINA     It's not a bad thing. [04:11] CELINA     You're worried for the elves, aren't you? [04:15] FIO     Merl, those humans seem nice. [04:19] MERL     They are. What's more,     they even beat the demon soldiers. [04:23] ELFA     Yeah, that human girl seems to     have real skill with the sword. [04:27] ELFB     Right. And it looks like     that lamia likes them. [04:33] ELFB     Maybe we can trust them. [04:36] DOLAN     Chris's strength of character     is helping us here. [04:39] DOLAN     But did they say "demon army"? [04:42] DOLAN     If those zerts earlier didn't just     happen to wander onto the surface, [04:48] DOLAN     that must mean there's a portal connecting     the demonic realm to this Forest of Ente. [04:54] DOLAN     Should the portal open fully, even     stronger demons will come through. [04:59] DOLAN     No... I'll destroy them     before it comes to that! [05:04] DOLAN     Even if people find out that I have a     dragon soul and I'm chased out of my home, [05:11] DOLAN     I have to use my dragon     powers without hesitation. [05:16] DOLAN     I have a proposal. [05:19] DOLAN     As she just said, this is an emergency. [05:23] DOLAN     It isn't something you     can handle on your own. [05:27] DOLAN     This may violate your laws, but would     you allow us to help you temporarily? [05:33] GIO     But... [05:39] FIO     Brother. [05:40] GIO     Fio? [05:42] FIO     I understand your     responsibilities as our leader. [05:45] FIO     But I care more about our     fellow villagers than our laws. [05:49] FIO     I think these people are speaking in     good faith. Let's try trusting them. [06:02] GIO     I understand. [06:04] GIO     Please, my human friends. [06:06] GIO     Lend us your strength. [06:09] GIO     But, knowing that you can hold your own,     I'll surely begin to rely on you... [06:15] GIO     even though it may put your lives in peril. [06:19] DOLAN     And we're saying that's fine by us. [06:23] GIO     I'm Gio, brave human boy. [06:27] DOLAN     Dolan. Nice to meet you. [06:33] GIO     What was that?! [06:34] CELINA     Dolan... What is that? [06:46] DOLAN     This sensation... [06:50] DOLAN     I recognize it. [06:53] DOLAN     A portal has opened! [07:30] GIO     To the village! [07:32] DOLAN     Hear me, O laws of wind. [07:35] DOLAN     Give us a tailwind to boost our travels. [07:39] DOLAN     Wind Accel! [07:47] DOLAN     A wind support magic. [07:48] DOLAN     It should help us hurry. [07:58] RAFLASIA     Huh... so this is the surface.      Not too shabby. [08:03] GELLEN     So that our demonic ruler might     obtain the Ente Yggdrasil, [08:10] GELLEN     we shall serve as the vanguard     that clears the way. [08:13] GELLEN     Remember that. [08:14] GEOLUDE     It is a clear display of his trust in us. [08:18] GEOLUDE     We need to repay it by doing     our jobs as mercenaries! [08:21] GELLEN     Where is Georg? [08:25] RAFLASIA     Not here yet. His stupid amount of     mana's probably slowing him down. [08:31] GEOLUDE     Well, in that case, let's play a     little game before he shows up. [08:35] GEOLUDE     I can sense the elves nearby. [08:38] GEOLUDE     How about we see who can find them first? [08:42] RAFLASIA     If I find them first, I'm free to kill them? [08:47] GEOLUDE     That's the prize! [08:49] RAFLASIA     I'm in. Gellen? [08:52] GELLEN     I have no interest in weaklings. [08:55] GELLEN     I'm only here to fulfill     my mission to the letter. [08:57] GEOLUDE     Hmph! Well, I'm gonna raise some hell! [09:01] GEOLUDE     Starting with those trees there! [09:04] RAFLASIA     Such an impatient fellow. [09:07] RAFLASIA     This place smells nice, however. [09:10] RAFLASIA     The lovely fragrance of flowers...     It makes me want to show them some love. [09:26] ELFF     Damn these bugs! There's no end to them! [09:29] ELFG     Don't let a single one into the village! [09:32] ELFF     Wha... What is that? [09:41] GEOLUDE     I am the first of the     Four Demonic Knights, Geolude! [09:45] GEOLUDE     My attack shall signal     the declaration of war! [10:03] ELFF     F-Fire! [10:20] GIO     What? Is that true, my spirit friends? [10:24] GIO     The spirits are reporting that fiends     are attacking from north of the village. [10:29] GIO     Dolan, these must be the      higher-level demons you spoke of. [10:32] DOLAN     We need to hurry. [10:34] GIO     Let's enter the village from the     southwest and fortify the defenses. [10:40] CELINA     Dolan! [10:41] DOLAN     Right! [10:44] DOLAN     Fight them off! [10:49] GEOLUDE     You could handle the troops,     but not a single blow from me? [10:55] GEOLUDE     Your screams just now were     music to my ears, elves! [11:08] GEOLUDE     You can have the privilege of     witnessing my spear once more! [11:14] GEOLUDE     Die! [11:28] GEOLUDE     Curses! [11:33] ELFF     R-Roses? [11:35] DIADORA     Quit spacing out and run! [11:39] GEOLUDE     How vexing! [11:41] GEOLUDE     Do you really believe mere vines     can restrain the great Geolude?! [11:52] GEOLUDE     Curses... They absorb my     blood and mana to bloom? [11:56] GEOLUDE     Such loathsome black roses! [12:01] ELFF     Diadora... [12:12] GIO     We're almost to the village!     Stay on your toes! [12:15] ALL     Right! [12:17] DOLAN     I beseech thee, O laws of power. [12:20] DOLAN     Give me countless arrows to smite my foes. [12:24] DOLAN     Energy Rain! [12:49] GIO     Hurry up and get in! [12:55] DOLAN     We should buy some time. [12:58] CHRISTINA     I was thinking the same. [13:00] CELINA     Me, too! [13:01] DOLAN     Christina, Celina, let's use these     to cast some powerful spells. [13:06] CHRISTINA     Magic crystals? And pure ones, at that. [13:10] CELINA     Are these the ones we found at that swamp? [13:14] DOLAN     Exactly. [13:16] DOLAN     Use them as you will. [13:19] CHRISTINA     Heed my words, O laws of wind. [13:22] CHRISTINA     Allow me to bind and turn     you into my blades! [13:27] CHRISTINA     Go wild! [13:28] CHRISTINA     Tornado! [13:37] CELINA     O spirits of earth, my foes are your own. [13:41] CELINA     Sharpen thyself and be my spear! [13:49] DOLAN     I can't let them outdo me. [13:53] DOLAN     Heed my words, O laws of power. [13:57] DOLAN     Come to me and gather,     and erupt into flames. [14:02] DOLAN     Explosion! [14:15] GIO     Incredible. [14:20] GIO     Those feats of strength make me     want to rely on you even more. [14:24] DOLAN     We wanted to show that you could rely on us. [14:29] DIADORA     Dweller of the demonic realm, do you     realize the sins you have committed? [14:36] DIADORA     You left flora and insects     crushed in your wake, [14:39] DIADORA     killed animals, and took lives from     those who call the forest their home. [14:44] DIADORA     You have committed too many sins to count! [14:49] GEOLUDE     Sins, you say? [14:51] GEOLUDE     Perhaps you consider them sins, Diadora. [14:55] GEOLUDE     But to me, being weak is a greater sin! [14:59] GEOLUDE     They were killed because they were weak! [15:03] GEOLUDE     How you make me laugh! [15:07] DIADORA     Enough. Your very words     are a blight on my ears. [15:11] DIADORA     Allow me to inform you of     one another sin, then. [15:16] DIADORA     You are weak. [15:20] DIADORA     Oh, right. Your appearance     in this realm was one, too. [15:25] DIADORA     Perish, filthy demon! [15:30] RAFLASIA     You played around too much, Geo! [15:38] RAFLASIA     Wow, you really held Geo down? [15:40] RAFLASIA     You must have really powerful     mana, rose spirit. [15:45] RAFLASIA     How lovely. [15:47] RAFLASIA     It's a pleasure to meet you. [15:49] RAFLASIA     I'm one of the      Four Demonic Knights, Raflasia. [15:54] RAFLASIA     Let's play nice, milady. [16:03] DOLAN     Oh... [16:04] CHRISTINA     Wow. [16:09] GIO     This is our elven village. [16:11] GIO     But we have no time for sightseeing. [16:14] DOLAN     Yes. [16:16] GEOLUDE     Hmph! I had no need for your help, Raflasia. [16:20] GEOLUDE     I could've handled that myself! [16:22] RAFLASIA     My, such an obvious bluff. [16:25] RAFLASIA     But it is your role to charge ahead     and get into trouble, I suppose. [16:32] GEOLUDE     No, my role is to massacre     our foes before anyone else! [16:37] RAFLASIA     You're the only one who believes that. [16:42] RAFLASIA     Now... [16:43] RAFLASIA     Are you ready for a world of hurt,      my black rose lady? [16:48] DIODORA     Oh, you're teaming up? [16:51] DIODORA     Then I shall take you on     with my friends, too! [16:59] DIADORA     Hear me, flora spirits of the forest. [17:02] DIADORA     Come to me and put on a show of strength... [17:07] DIADORA     What's the matter? Answer me, forest flora! [17:14] RAFLASIA     Wait, are you calling out     to these floral spirits? [17:20] RAFLASIA     I saw a bunch of pretty     flowers on the way here, [17:24] RAFLASIA     and I just had to have some     fun with them, you see! [17:29] RAFLASIA     This lily spirit here     withered away screaming. [17:36] RAFLASIA     And this gentian spirit was crying     for help as it rotted away. [17:42] RAFLASIA     And the white lily spirits were     chopped to pieces by the zerts. [17:48] DIADORA     Why, you... [17:50] RAFLASIA     Oh, but the red roses were the     most devoted of them all. [17:55] RAFLASIA     They cried, "Diadora! Please help, Diadora," [17:59] RAFLASIA     as I slowly cursed them to death. [18:03] DIADORA     How dare you?! [18:07] DIADORA     All those lives you took [18:09] DIADORA     belonged to my friends and family! [18:12] DIADORA     How dare you! [18:16] RAFLASIA     So much anger, and for such a silly reason! [18:19] RAFLASIA     All flowers fight over the     nutrients in the soil to grow. [18:23] RAFLASIA     You should be glad that your     competition has dwindled. [18:29] RAFLASIA     You know what? You should be     thanking me, if anything. [18:35] DIADORA     Silence! You will pay for what you've done! [18:39] DIADORA     Not a speck of you shall remain! [18:51] RAFLASIA     You know, I'm a floral spirit, too. [19:02] RAFLASIA     But, unlike you, my flower isn't one     that grows in the paradise up here. [19:08] RAFLASIA     I'm the spirit of a demonic realm flower     that only feeds on blood and life, [19:12] RAFLASIA     the raflaora! [19:16] RAFLASIA     All life exists to feed my     blooming—they are but sacrifices. [19:23] RAFLASIA     As you now see. [19:25] DIADORA     What?! [19:29] RAFLASIA     Insanity is doing the same thing     and expecting different results. [19:37] RAFLASIA     I thank you for the delicious food,     just as I did the other flowers. [19:43] DIADORA     You're going down! [19:47] RAFLASIA     Gosh, will you ever learn? [19:56] DIADORA     Go! [20:04] DIADORA     You're the one who needs to learn. [20:07] DIADORA     The prettier a rose, the sharper its thorns. [20:09] DIADORA     People have said so forever.     You'd best commit it to memory. [20:19] RAFLASIA     Blood... [20:21] RAFLASIA     My blood? [20:24] RAFLASIA     You scarred me? [20:27] RAFLASIA     Unthinkable! Unforgivable! [20:30] RAFLASIA     How dare a lowly surface rose     spirit tarnish my beauty! [20:36] RAFLASIA     You have committed the gravest of sins! [20:39] DIADORA     You don't say. [20:40] DIADORA     Your indignation is utterly     meaningless, if you ask me. [20:44] DIADORA     I've decided to kill every last one of you. [20:54] GEOLUDE     This is tedious, Raflasia! [20:56] GEOLUDE     I'll end this with one swing of my spear! [21:02] RAFLASIA     Wait, Geo! She's mine! [21:04] GEOLUDE     Die! [21:10] GEOLUDE     Don't think those vines will work on     me without the element of surprise! [21:16] GEOLUDE     Come on! [21:22] RAFLASIA     You should flee more desperately... [21:26] RAFLASIA     or this won't be any fun at all! [21:33] DIADORA     Wh-What? My mana's been absorbed... [21:37] RAFLASIA     I'll bestow you a painless death. [21:42] GEOLUDE     Die! [21:46] DIADORA     I can't die before I avenge     my friends and family. [21:53] DIADORA     I'm so sorry, everyone. [22:05] GEOLUDE     Wh-What?! [22:17] DIADORA     A h-human? SIGN    Next Episode [24:04] AIRI     This week's lucky item is magic crystals! [24:07] AIRI     Look forward to next time!
