[00:13] ---
    Ergh, Haruhiro, you bastard!
[00:14] ---
    Ranta, it's you?!
[00:15] ---
    Watch where you're going!
[00:16] ---
    You should, too!
[00:18] ---
    Thanks!
[00:23] ---
    There!
[00:25] ---
    This is Yume's new skill, Star Strike.
[00:32] ---
    I'm fine! Go help that idiot Haruhiro.
[00:35] ---
    Who are you calling "idiot"?!
[00:40] ---
    Now! Spider!
[00:52] ---
    Stay back!
[00:53] ---
    What?!
[00:54] ---
    Exhaust!
[00:56] ---
    Come forth Dark Skullhell!
[00:58] ---
    Cause limitless fear for those who don't obey!
[01:02] ---
    Dread Terror!
[01:04] ---
    This causes fear, making the opponent
    unable to make clear decisions.
[01:08] ---
    This is magic only a Dark Knight can cast.
[01:12] ---
    This isn't what it's supposed to do!
[01:14] ---
    Exhaust!
[01:16] ---
    It does seem like it's confused.
[01:19] ---
    Exhaust!
[01:21] ---
    Exhaust!
[01:22] ---
    Exhaust!
[01:24] ---
    Anger! Exhaust! Avoid! Exhaust!
[01:25] ---
    Need a hand?
[01:29] ---
    Mind your own business!
[01:30] ---
    He's my prey! My rival!
[01:33] ---
    Oh? So it's his rival?
[01:36] ---
    I just wanna call it that! Hatred!
[01:41] ---
    All right, c'mon!
[01:43] ---
    Die!
[01:54] ---
    Repeating a yesterday filled with scrapes,
[02:01] ---
    We clear the path to a hopeful tomorrow.
[02:05] ---
    "Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash"
[02:18] ---
    I wonder what remains
[02:21] ---
    in both these tiny hands?
[02:24] ---
    The voice I raised upwards
    scattered into the air.

[02:30] ---
    The reality I've gained is hazy,
[02:34] ---
    and even if I can't see ahead of me,
[02:37] ---
    I can keep moving forward on this long road
[02:40] ---
    if I'm with you.
[02:44] ---
    Connecting a bond covered in dust,
[02:50] ---
    We join back to back in the past and future.
[02:57] ---
    Repeating an answer full of mistakes,
[03:03] ---
    I will reach out my hands
    to seek the light, again and again.

[03:32] ---
    That's a talisman, a kobold's protective charm.
[03:36] ---
    Every kobold has a talisman.
[03:40] ---
    Really? But this doesn't
    look like it's worth much.
[03:46] ---
    The ones in the first level of the mine
    are ruffians among kobolds.
[03:52] ---
    They're poorly dressed and weak.
[03:56] ---
    That's why Volunteer Soldiers call them
    low-class kobolds or lesser kobolds.
[04:01] ---
    So the others will have better talismans?
[04:07] ---
    Yes.
[04:08] ---
    Well, no matter. I'll be taking this.
[04:14] ---
    What?
[04:15] ---
    Nothing.
[04:17] ---
    There's probably a nicer way of retrieving
    spoils from a fight. It's fine, I guess.
[04:24] ---
    But yeah,
[04:26] ---
    to the kobolds, we're invaders.
[04:32] ---
    Nothing changes even if
    we have pangs of guilt.
[04:36] ---
    No matter if we take their nose rings off
    carefully or tear them off violently,
[04:40] ---
    the end result is still the same.
[04:43] ---
    The whole thing is still the same.
[04:48] ---
    Ranta does it without hesitation,
    but I'm trying to make up for that guilt.
[04:53] ---
    That might be hypocritical of me,
[04:56] ---
    but I don't plan to change how I do things.
[05:00] ---
    No matter if they're an enemy or prey
[05:03] ---
    I should at least be paying
    my respects in this way.
[05:07] ---
    Let's move on.
[05:11] ---
    The Cyrene Mine has more than ten levels.
[05:14] ---
    Lesser kobolds, normal kobolds,
    and elder kobolds live here.
[05:21] ---
    Only the elder kobolds
    can freely use the gondola.
[05:25] ---
    The gondola?
[05:26] ---
    There is a gondola installed in
    the mineshaft from the third layer down.
[05:31] ---
    We'll be mostly going up and down
    through the wells, though.
[05:35] ---
    Is it because the gondola is heavily guarded?
[05:40] ---
    Yes. The elders are the leaders,
    the normal kobolds are workers,
[05:45] ---
    and lesser kobolds don't hold any status.
[05:49] ---
    The elders seem pretty stuck-up.
[05:52] ---
    Normal kobolds dwell in the second level down,
[05:56] ---
    so that's where things will get serious.
[05:58] ---
    So the hard part is still to come, huh.
[06:13] ---
    They're quite noisy.
[06:16] ---
    They're always noisy at these times.
[06:19] ---
    Sleeping kobolds only wake up
    when there's something big going on.
[06:33] ---
    Do you hear something?
[06:36] ---
    Yeah.
[06:39] ---
    Woah.
[06:46] ---
    Is it... sleeping?
[06:48] ---
    Should I get 'em? It'll be nice and quick.
[06:50] ---
    What?!
[06:52] ---
    It'd be some easy loot.
[06:56] ---
    You...
[06:57] ---
    are you a demon or something?
[06:59] ---
    Tsk, tsk, tsk. I'm no demon.
[07:02] ---
    I'm a Dark Knight. You got it?
[07:05] ---
    I serve the Dark God Skullhell.
[07:09] ---
    We believe that in death, all are equal.
[07:13] ---
    The Vices that we value are the antithesis
    of what you call in your pretty little words
[07:20] ---
    "common sense" and "morals."
[07:23] ---
    Antithesis. It's an important concept,
     so I'll say it a third time.
[07:27] ---
    so I'll say it a third time. Antithesis!
[07:28] ---
    Eventually, you'll fall into
    death's embrace anyway,
[07:31] ---
    so it's stupid to be bound by useless ideals.
[07:35] ---
    We should be driven by things
    like our desires, instincts, and impulses.
[07:39] ---
    That's how it should be.
[07:41] ---
    And at the end, we all die,
    just the same. Get it?
[07:46] ---
    I'm going.
[07:47] ---
    Listen!
[07:48] ---
    I'm listening, I'm listening.
[07:50] ---
    No you're not!
[08:02] ---
    Ohm, Rel, Ect, Nemun, Dash!
[08:09] ---
    That's Shihoru's new skill, Shadow Bond.
[08:14] ---
    The enemy can't move,
    as if their legs are stuck to the ground.
[08:16] ---
    Just like Sleepy Shadow, it becomes less
    effective the more worked up the opponent is.
[08:21] ---
    Strong opponents can forcefully
    break free from the spell, though.
[08:26] ---
    C'mon!
[08:28] ---
    Thanks!
[08:34] ---
    It's here. I know what to do.
[08:38] ---
    I just need to follow it.
[08:41] ---
    When I see the streak,
    I need to breathe calmly.
[08:45] ---
    If I change my breathing patterns,
    it'll disappear.
[08:49] ---
    I can't strain either. There's no time
    to think that I can't miss this chance.
[08:53] ---
    When I see the streak, my body is
    already moving. That's how it should feel.
[08:59] ---
    If not, it won't succeed.
[09:06] ---
    Your new spell is amazing, Shihoru.
[09:09] ---
    Th-Thanks.
[09:11] ---
    These normal kobolds were nothing, too.
[09:15] ---
    It won't be this easy from the
    third layer down because of the elders.
[09:19] ---
    They're armed and fight using tactics.
[09:24] ---
    Why are you spacing out? Aren't we going?
[09:28] ---
    No, let's return to Ortana for now.
[09:31] ---
    What?
[09:32] ---
    It's not like we can't get back.
[09:34] ---
    I'm afraid of getting used to
    this place and becoming complacent.
[09:38] ---
    What, how lame.
[09:42] ---
    Mary?
[09:48] ---
    I'm fine.
[09:53] ---
    I'm all right.
[10:00] ---
    "Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash"
    "I'm Not Fit to Be a Leader"
[10:09] ---
    If we're talking about being compatible,
    Ranta and I aren't very much so.
[10:16] ---
    We were this close to starting a fight today.
[10:20] ---
    He doesn't seem to be getting along
    with Yume, Shihoru, or Mary either.
[10:25] ---
    Can I just leave him as he is?
    I guess I'm the leader, though.
[10:32] ---
    What would Manato have done?
[10:36] ---
    It's not like Manato really
    liked Ranta that much, either.
[10:41] ---
    Maybe Manato didn't judge him
    by whether he liked Ranta or not.
[10:46] ---
    It didn't seem like
    Ranta was as defiant with Manato.
[10:52] ---
    He was pretty shaken up
    when Manato died, too.
[11:01] ---
    What's the difference
    between Manato and me?
[11:06] ---
    Ranta?
[11:08] ---
    What is it?
[11:11] ---
    Can we talk?
[11:15] ---
    Hm?
[11:17] ---
    Maybe not here. Want to go outside?
[11:22] ---
    I guess.
[11:29] ---
    I initiated this, but I don't know what to say.
[11:35] ---
    I feel there are things
    we need to talk about, though.
[11:41] ---
    How do you...
[11:43] ---
    Hm?
[11:45] ---
    Well...
[11:47] ---
    how do you feel about things?
    Like about our party.
[11:50] ---
    Our party is our party.
    Nothing more, nothing less.
[11:55] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[11:58] ---
    What?
[12:00] ---
    I feel I've been properly
    fulfilling my duties to the party.
[12:04] ---
    You have?
[12:06] ---
    Didn't you see?
[12:08] ---
    Like today, I proved I could
    take on an opponent single-handedly.
[12:13] ---
    That? That would've been over
    in an instant if we had all surrounded it.
[12:18] ---
    Can you guarantee that
    we'll always be able to do that?
[12:21] ---
    You can't, huh.
[12:22] ---
    If I can reliably take one on
    by myself, we can what... broaden our tactics.
[12:30] ---
    Is that why you--
[12:36] ---
    No, I'm getting too worked up.
[12:40] ---
    So he's been thinking about things in his own way.
[12:45] ---
    I do think that Ranta
    functions as our secondary tank.
[12:51] ---
    This is something that Yume and I can't do.
[12:54] ---
    And of course we can't make Mary do it.
[12:59] ---
    Manato died and Mary joined.
[13:03] ---
    He's been thinking about his role
    in this party in his own way.
[13:08] ---
    But that doesn't mean...
[13:11] ---
    I wouldn't have known that
    unless you told me now.
[13:17] ---
    It'd have been too late after the fact
    if something were to happen.
[13:20] ---
    So I have to consult with you
    for every single thing?
[13:22] ---
    That's not what I mean,
[13:25] ---
    but I'm saying that there are things
    I won't know unless you say them.
[13:29] ---
    On top of everything, you're...
[13:32] ---
    easily misunderstood, you know?
[13:39] ---
    It's not like you think it's a misunderstanding.
[13:42] ---
    Huh?
[13:43] ---
    What you're really saying is that it's my fault.
    What, because I'm misunderstood?
[13:49] ---
    Then, whose fault is it? Mine? Yume's?
[13:53] ---
    Shihoru's fault? Moguzo's?
[13:55] ---
    Or Mary's?!
[13:56] ---
    What?!
[13:59] ---
    We're working as a team,
[14:03] ---
    so don't we need teamwork?
[14:08] ---
    And I'm not working as a team?
[14:10] ---
    You think you are?
[14:11] ---
    Hell, no.
[14:12] ---
    You don't think so either?
[14:14] ---
    Everybody has their
    strengths and weaknesses.
[14:17] ---
    What about you, Haruhiro?
    What are your weaknesses?
[14:22] ---
    Me?
[14:24] ---
    My weaknesses?
[14:26] ---
    I have those.
    I almost don't think I have any strengths.
[14:31] ---
    Why do I have to tell you?
[14:35] ---
    So you won't say a word
    when it's about yourself?
[14:38] ---
    Have I complained
    about your weaknesses? Hm?
[14:42] ---
    Listen up, Haruhiro. It's because you happened
    to bring this stuff up that I'm saying this.
[14:46] ---
    If not, then I would've
    never brought it up myself.
[14:51] ---
    I'm not interested in
    being all chummy with you guys.
[14:54] ---
    You guys can go play
    pretend friends without me.
[14:57] ---
    If you guys hate me, go ahead
    and hate me. I'm fine with it.
[15:02] ---
    We're a party, so I'll fulfill
    my duty to the party.
[15:06] ---
    That's what working as a team is about, right?
[15:11] ---
    I'm off to bed.
[16:05] ---
    Wow!
[16:07] ---
    You use knives, too, right?
[16:10] ---
    I'm not as good as you though.
[16:13] ---
    Thanks for the blanket.
[16:21] ---
    You'll catch a cold sleeping out here.
[16:24] ---
    I just kinda fell asleep.
[16:27] ---
    I didn't know what kind
    of knife was good, you know,
[16:31] ---
    and when I asked Master,
    he took me to the market, you see.
[16:37] ---
    Oh?
[16:38] ---
    And Master picked two for me.
[16:42] ---
    And he said he would only buy one,
    so he bought one for me.
[16:47] ---
    I was super happy.
    I bought the other one myself, too!
[16:54] ---
    Really? That's great.
[16:58] ---
    Yup!
[17:31] ---
    O light, return to Lumiaris'
    divine protection. Blame!
[17:35] ---
    This is Mary's new Light Magic.
[17:38] ---
    It's short range and doesn't do a lot of damage,
    but it numbs and slows down the opponent.
[17:43] ---
    She wanted to increase the ways she could
    support Moguzo and Ranta in the front.
[17:48] ---
    Thanks!
[17:49] ---
    Anger! Hatred!
[17:53] ---
    Hatred!
[17:53] ---
    You'll run out of breath if you keep shouting!
[17:55] ---
    Shut it. This is how I fight!
[18:02] ---
    That was close! What if you hit me?!
[18:04] ---
    If you died, I'd just get
    an extra Vice. Congrats!
[18:08] ---
    What the heck? Right, if I remember
    that this is just how he is, I won't get angry.
[18:16] ---
    No, I am angry. I'm fuming.
[18:19] ---
    Will I be able to let it go?
[18:28] ---
    Here I go!
[18:29] ---
    This is Moguzo's Fast Thrust. It's a
    one-handed attack with a longer range.
[18:34] ---
    He also learned Back Thrust,
    an attack he can perform while backing away.
[18:38] ---
    Let's all go for the elder!
[18:39] ---
    Marc, Em, Parc!
[18:44] ---
    Surround it! We might be able
    to defeat him unscathed!
[19:00] ---
    It's pretty different
    from the third level and above.
[19:03] ---
    Is this farmland?
[19:12] ---
    Hey, hey. Look here!
[19:15] ---
    Those animals are pretty cute, huh!
[19:18] ---
    Hm...
[19:20] ---
    M-Maybe a little...
[19:26] ---
    Hey.
[19:27] ---
    Hm? I was just trying it out.
    I wouldn't really do anything.
[19:32] ---
    How does "just trying it out" and "wouldn't
    really do anything" make sense together?
[19:37] ---
    It makes sense to me.
[19:44] ---
    I see.
[19:46] ---
    It makes total sense to me, get it?
[19:48] ---
    I do. I get it.
[19:49] ---
    Then tell me what it means.
[19:52] ---
    It makes sense to you.
[19:54] ---
    That's exactly what I said.
[19:55] ---
    Shh!
[20:02] ---
    Wouldn't it be faster for us to just kill 'em?
[20:04] ---
    That's not a good idea.
[20:06] ---
    From the fourth level down, we'll cause a big
    commotion if we can't kill them instantly.
[20:22] ---
    Now that they've been alerted,
    it's better if we go down to the fifth level.
[20:25] ---
    They have the advantage
    in open fields like this.
[20:54] ---
    Mary?
[20:58] ---
    Mary!
[21:18] ---
    Well, what do you see?
[21:20] ---
    It has white and black patches.
[21:23] ---
    It's Death Spots.
[21:24] ---
    You mean...
[21:26] ---
    Death Spo--
[21:26] ---
    Don't look!
[22:08] ---
    When I try touching
[22:15] ---
    the dry air after a rain,
[22:21] ---
    like a sprouting flower,
[22:27] ---
    fragments of memories overflow.
[22:33] ---
    The warmth you gave this hand
[22:45] ---
    led me to a future I can treasure,
[22:54] ---
    always.
[22:57] ---
    I chased your voice.
[23:04] ---
    I wonder when you became so strong.
[23:10] ---
    I will probably find
    what I searched the vast world for

[23:17] ---
    at the end of this journey.
