[00:05] Tsukasa
    These are?
[00:06] Bearabbit
    Shovels made with aluminum alloy!
[00:09] Tsukasa
    You've already progressed to the
    point of manufacturing aluminum?
[00:14] Ringo
    I thought they'd help
    everyone in Elm Village.
[00:18] Tsukasa
    Yeah.
[00:20] Tsukasa
    Light, sturdy shovels will make farm work
    much easier than it ever was before.
[00:26] Tsukasa
    I'm sure they'll be delighted.
[00:31] Ringo
    It's only possible
[00:32] Ringo
    because Masato-san got me lots
    of the resources I requested.
[00:36] Tsukasa
    Yeah.
[00:37] Tsukasa
    No one compares to him
    when it comes to earning money.
[00:41] Ringo
    Yeah, he's a really big help.
[00:47] Ringo
    I-I'm sorry, we were in the middle of talking.
[00:51] Tsukasa
    It's nothing to worry about.
[00:53] Tsukasa
    You should probably get some rest.
[00:56] Ringo
    B-But didn't you need me
    for something, Tsukasa-san?
[01:01] Tsukasa
    I just wanted to check up on you.
[01:03] Tsukasa
    I was worried you might be
    pushing yourself too hard.
[01:06] Ringo
    I-In that case,
[01:11] Ringo
    I'll get some rest.
[01:18] Tsukasa
    Ringo-kun's not the only one.
[01:20] Tsukasa
    Everyone is growing fatigued from
    this lifestyle we're not used to.
[01:28] Tsukasa
    Snow?
[01:30] Tsukasa
    The Merchant will need recognition for
    the commotion he's probably causing
[01:34] ---
    in Dormundt right about now.
[01:37] Village
    Working with water is
    rough this time of year.
[01:40] Kid
    Cold!
[01:42] Kid
    It's snowing, too!
[01:44] Village
    Oh, just don't go catching a cold.
[01:48] Tsukasa
    Hmm...
SIGN    High School Prodigies Have It Easy
    Even In Another World!
[03:23] Jaccoi
    We won't let them mess with us anymore!
SIGN    It Seems Roo Can
     Decide Her Own Worth!
[03:27] Jaccoi
    Don't worry about the profit margin!
[03:29] Jaccoi
    Just buy up all the merchandise!
[03:31] Subordinate
    Yes, sir!
[03:34] Jaccoi
    We can crush that puny trading company
    any time we want, with all our capital.
[03:40] Jaccoi
    They'll regret going up against Neutscheland.
[03:44] Subordinate
    B-Bad news!
[03:46] Jaccoi
    What is it?!
[03:47] Subordinate
    Our trading company...
[03:50] Subordinate
    isn't getting a single product!
[03:53] Jaccoi
    Wh-What?!
[03:56] Jaccoi
    What...
[03:59] Jaccoi
    What on earth...
[04:06] Jaccoi
    Y-You people are...!
[04:07] Masato
    That's right.
[04:08] Masato
    They're the traveling merchants you laid off.
[04:11] Masato
    After you monopolized trade at the port,
[04:14] Masato
    you fired the merchants working the
    land routes in order to cut labor costs.
[04:18] Masato
    By forcing the villagers to
    bring their goods in to you,
[04:21] Masato
    you made them bear the costs of the tariffs.
[04:24] Masato
    Good grief, that's exactly
    the kind of cost-cutting
[04:27] Masato
    some idiot who only sees the
    numbers in his ledger would do.
[04:30] Masato
    Since you let them go to waste,
    we've organized them all under our own company.
[04:34] Jaccoi
    Y-You don't mean...
[04:35] Masato
    Yeah. Our Elm Trading Company has signed
[04:39] ---
    a three-year exclusive contract
    with these traveling merchants.
[04:42] Masato
    Do you understand what that means?
[04:45] Masato
    All of their wares were purchased
    by the Elm Trading Company
[04:48] ---
    before they ever set foot in this town.
[04:53] Masato
    You can wait here with that
    stupid look on your face,
[04:55] ---
    but you're never getting any merchandise.
[04:58] Jaccoi
    H-He's deceiving you all!
[05:01] Jaccoi
    Our company will buy your wares for
    far more than his trashy company can!
[05:05] Jaccoi
    It's not too late!
[05:07] Jaccoi
    You can change your minds!
[05:09] Merchant
    Elm Trading Company already told us
    that you'd pay more for our goods.
[05:15] Merchant
    We sold them knowing that already.
[05:19] Jaccoi
    Impossible! Why?!
[05:21] Merchant
    It's obvious.
[05:23] Merchant
    Because we didn't want to sell to you.
[05:25] Jaccoi
    Wha?!
[05:26] Merchant
    We risk our lives hauling these goods.
[05:30] Merchant
    We refuse to risk our lives for someone
    who'd fire us over his crappy accounting.
[05:35] Merchant
    You might say you'll buy our wares for
    more, but that's only for now, isn't it?
[05:38] Merchant
    Once your war with Elm is over,
    you'll go back to buying them on the cheap.
[05:43] Jaccoi
    Y-You have the wrong idea!
[05:45] Jaccoi
    I won't lower prices anymore!
[05:47] Jaccoi
    I deeply regret my past actions! So...
[05:52] Merchant
    We don't trust you anymore.
[05:59] Masato
    Jaccoi.
[06:01] Masato
    What's most important to a
    business isn't money. It's trust.
[06:06] Masato
    So long as you have trust,
    you can earn money again.
[06:09] Masato
    I can't believe threw away
    the trust you'd established
[06:14] ---
    with the merchants and the villages,
    just for a little extra money.
[06:17] Masato
    There's no future for a business
    that's lost its trust.
[06:20] Masato
    You went too far.
[06:23] Elch
    He really did crush Neutscheland in a week...
[06:28] Masato
    However, it would also be going too far
    to crush you and Neutscheland right here.
[06:32] Elch
    Huh?
[06:34] Masato
    Be it Elm or Neutscheland,
[06:36] Masato
    it's just not healthy for any one
    business to monopolize the market.
[06:40] Masato
    So why don't those of us here talk it out?
[06:43] Masato
    Let's discuss the future
    of trade and the economy
[06:48] ---
    here in Dormundt and the
    territory of Findolf.
[06:52] Masato
    Though we plan on taking advantage
    of you, so you'd better be prepared.
[06:58] Jaccoi
    Y-Yes...
[07:10] Roo
    Which one, hm...
[07:11] Elch
    Hey, why didn't you crush Neutscheland?
[07:15] Masato
    Hm?
[07:16] Masato
    Because there were more
    drawbacks in crushing them than not.
[07:20] Elch
    Drawbacks?
[07:22] Masato
    We couldn't keep so many
    traveling merchants employed.
[07:26] Masato
    I always intended to throw them all back
    at Neutscheland, once I broke Jaccoi's spirit.
[07:31] Elch
    Th-Then the contracts with those merchants...
[07:34] Masato
    Yeah, they were empty contracts.
[07:37] Elch
    You're telling me this after
    all that talk about trust?
[07:41] Elch
    Are you actually a bad person?
[07:45] Masato
    Of course I am.
[07:47] Masato
    In the world I'm from, I'm a
    merchant known as the Demon Lord.
[07:52] Roo
    Demon Lord!
[07:54] Fisher
    We found you, you stupid brat!
[07:57] Fisher
    You two! What do you think you're doing,
    walking around with someone else's goods?!
[08:01] Masato
    Goods?
[08:06] Fisher
    That brat is a slave, and she's ours to sell!
[08:09] Fisher
    Now hurry up and give her back!
[08:12] Elch
    Hey!
[08:13] Fisher
    Huh? You got a problem here?
[08:18] Masato
    Rooko.
[08:21] Masato
    Shall I save you?
[08:24] Roo
    Save...
[08:37] Roo
    One day...
[08:39] Roo
    I'm going to become a good merchant.
[08:42] Roo
    Then I'll earn lots of money,
[08:45] Roo
    and use it...
[08:46] Roo
    to buy back my mother and father.
[08:51] Roo
    But all the money I have left
    over afterward, I'll give to you.
[08:56] Roo
    I promise!
[08:57] Roo
    I won't let you take a loss on this!
[09:00] Roo
    So, Teacher...
[09:05] Roo
    Please buy me right here and now!
[09:08] Fisher
    What are you going on about? You brat!
[09:12] Masato
    Well said, Rooko.
[09:16] Masato
    I'd like to buy this slave,
[09:18] Masato
    at 100 times the market price.
[09:21] Fisher
    Oh!
[09:22] Masato
    You've got no complaints, do you?
[09:24] Fisher
    Y-You're not getting a refund!
[09:27] Masato
    Yeah. So we have a contract.
[09:31] Masato
    The courage and willpower you displayed
[09:33] ---
    is a thousand times more valuable
    than the money I just spent.
[09:39] Roo
    Teacher!
[09:43] Masato
    Now let's make them regret this.
[09:44] Masato
    We'll show them they were
    huge fools for passing up
[09:47] ---
    this huge fortune for a paltry sum.
[09:51] Masato
    Sorry, Elch,
[09:52] Masato
    for using up all the money we earned.
[09:55] Elch
    It's fine.
[09:57] Elch
    You already earned us so much that
    no one will mind what you spent.
[10:01] Elch
    I never knew that it could feel this good
[10:05] Elch
    to spend money on something.
[10:10] Masato
    I know, right?
[10:11] Masato
    This is why I can never stop earning money!
[10:18] Shinobu
    So it all ended being a huge victory
    for Elm Trading Company!
[10:21] Tsukasa
    That's the Demon Lord of the
    Financial World for you.
[10:23] Tsukasa
    There's a reason the Merchant
    is known as an economic emperor.
[10:27] Tsukasa
    I'm glad to see you're enjoying yourself, too.
[10:31] Shinobu
    A city full of information is precisely
    where a journalist belongs.
[10:37] Shinobu
    So, about those inquiries you requested.
[10:40] Shinobu
    First, the magic.
[10:42] ---
    In this world, there are four
    different types of spirits:
[10:45] ---
    Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth.
[10:48] ---
    Communicating with them
    allows miracles to occur.
[10:51] ---
    And, well, their powers are about
    what you would imagine them to be.
[10:54] ---
    But people who can actually
    use magic are scarce.
[10:57] ---
    Here in the territory of Findolf,
[10:59] ---
    the only one who can is the mage
    officer living in the lord's castle.
[11:03] Tsukasa
    Hmm...
[11:04] Tsukasa
    What about magic capable of crossing worlds
    or summoning someone from another world?
[11:08] Shinobu
    I don't know yet.
[11:10] Shinobu
    Though since magic itself
    is so rare to begin with,
[11:13] ---
    there isn't much information on that.
[11:15] Tsukasa
    I see.
[11:17] Tsukasa
    Well, we're doing well just gaining an
    understanding of their concept of magic.
[11:20] Tsukasa
    Thank you.
[11:21] Shinobu
    Nin, nin! You're welcome.
[11:24] Shinobu
    So...
[11:25] Shinobu
    One more thing.
[11:26] Shinobu
    It looks like we're out of
    luck on the seven heroes.
[11:29] Tsukasa
    What?
[11:30] Tsukasa
    What do you mean?
[11:31] Shinobu
    Well, there is a religion
    known as the Seven-Light Faith
[11:35] ---
    that might be related to them, at least.
[11:38] Tsukasa
    The Seven-Light Faith, huh?
[11:41] Shinobu
    Yeah.
[11:41] Shinobu
    But that Seven-Light Faith
[11:44] ---
    was destroyed several centuries
    ago by the Freyjagard Empire.
[11:49] Shinobu
    It wasn't just the Seven-Light Faith, either.
[11:52] Shinobu
    All of the religions that used
    to exist on this continent
[11:55] ---
    were destroyed, root and branch.
[12:00] Shinobu
    Freyjagard policy
    of "survival of the fittest"
[12:04] ---
    didn't allow any gods to
    be placed above the empire.
[12:09] Tsukasa
    Religious oppression, huh?
[12:11] Shinobu
    I carefully checked the villages
    surrounding Dormundt to be sure,
[12:15] Shinobu
    but they didn't have any religions,
    or even have records of any.
[12:19] Tsukasa
    I see.
[12:20] Tsukasa
    However, that's still our only clue
    as to how to return to our world.
[12:24] Tsukasa
    We'll have to search for it, even if it means
    turning over every stone on the continent.
[12:28] Shinobu
    Yeah.
[12:29] Shinobu
    There's a problem, though.
[12:33] Shinobu
    People need a travel permit
    from Marquis Findolf
[12:37] ---
    in order to leave the territory
    we're in right now.
[12:41] Shinobu
    This Marquis Findolf is also
    one hell of a shitty bastard.
[12:46] Tsukasa
    A shitty bastard?
[12:48] Aoi
    Tsukasa-dono!
[12:50] Aoi
    It's done!
[12:52] Bearabbit
    It's finished, bear!
[12:53] Shinobu
    Hm? Done? What's done?
[12:55] Bearabbit
    I worked beary hard with
    Aoi-chan to make it!
[12:56] Tsukasa
    Oh, I finally did something
    befitting a politician
[12:58] Bearabbit
    It bears seeing at once!
[12:59] ---
    and had some public facilities created.
[13:02] Shinobu
    Public facilities?
[13:09] Aoi
    What a nice bath!
[13:13] Keine
    You made a public bathhouse
    for the villagers?
[13:17] Keine
    I'm impressed.
[13:19] Winona
    How is it, how is it?
[13:20] Winona
    If I wear this, I can bathe
    alongside everyone, right, Tsukasa?
[13:25] Tsukasa
    That's right.
[13:27] Tsukasa
    Ringo-kun, you don't have to
    force yourself to join us, you know.
[13:31] Ringo
    I... I'll be fine.
[13:34] Winona
    Oh, Lyrule, where were you?
[13:37] Lyrule
    I went to get this.
[13:39] Lyrule
    Tsukasa looked like he injured his hand.
[13:42] Tsukasa
    Yeah...
[13:43] Tsukasa
    I was doing work I'm not used to.
[13:48] Tsukasa
    What's this?
[13:50] Lyrule
    A salve made from horse oil.
[13:55] Lyrule
    Applying this to the wound will ease
    the pain and help it heal faster.
[14:00] Tsukasa
    I see.
[14:02] Tsukasa
    Thank you, Lyrule.
[14:07] Akatsuki
    B-Bad news!
[14:09] Akatsuki
    Some of the villagers that went hunting
[14:11] ---
    ran into a monster called
     the Chief of the Forest!
[14:14] Winona
    Huh?
[14:22] Ringo
    There's a large heat signature
    500 meters ahead.
[14:34] Akatsuki
    Masato...
[14:35] Masato
    Oh, has everyone come out to greet me?
[14:38] Elch
    No, something's off.
[14:41] Elch
    Something must have happened.
[15:01] Villager
    A-Aoi?!
[15:03] Tsukasa
    You don't need to worry about her.
[15:05] Tsukasa
    How is everyone else?
[15:07] Tsukasa
    M-Mayor Ulga...
[15:11] Winona
    Huh?
[15:30] Aoi
    So you're the Chief of the Forest?
[15:37] Village
    H-He stopped breathing a moment ago.
[15:40] Tsukasa
    I see.
[15:41] Tsukasa
    If he's only just stopped breathing,
    he should be fine.
[15:44] Tsukasa
    Isn't that right, Keine-kun?
[15:46] Keine
    Yes, of course.
[16:03] Keine
    Left fifth through tenth rib, all broken.
[16:06] Keine
    Abdominal lacerations, colon rupture...
[16:09] Keine
    Everything below the diaphragm is poking out.
[16:12] Keine
    He's passed out from hemorrhagic shock,
[16:14] Keine
    and he's been in cardiac arrest for
    just under three minutes, I believe.
[16:19] Keine
    Okay, okay.
[16:21] Keine
    This should be no problem.
[16:23] Keine
    Beginning operation.
[17:19] Ringo
    I-Incredible...
[17:22] Winona
    She's sealing up the wound.
[17:26] Keine
    Damaged organs repaired.
[17:29] Keine
    Surgical treatment completed.
[17:31] Keine
    Liquid oxygen injected.
[17:33] Keine
    Now commencing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
[17:56] Keine
    All treatment completed.
[18:01] Keine
    He should wake up in two to three days.
[18:09] Winona
    Father...
[18:12] Tsukasa
    Good work.
[18:13] Keine
    My...
[18:16] Keine
    This hardly even counts as work.
[18:20] Keine
    Right, Aoi-san?
[18:22] Aoi
    Indeed. That was a piece of cake.
[18:27] Tsukasa
    Well, let's head back to Elm Village.
[18:30] Masato
    Aoi and Keine are with them.
    They'll make it back safely.
[18:39] Masato
    That's...
[18:43] Vice Captain
    Peasants, bow your heads!
[18:46] Vice Captain
    Before you stands the Captain of
    Marquis Findolf's Guardian Knights,
[18:50] ---
    the Silver Knight, Inzagi!
[18:55] Elch
    Guardian Knights?!
[18:59] Inzagi
    Hmph, this village reeks of beast.
[19:02] Inzagi
    Seize them.
[19:05] Inzagi
    Hm?
[19:10] Inzagi
    You are suspected of treason against the state.
[19:14] Elch
    Wh-What do you mean?!
[19:16] Inzagi
    You have used illegal means to gather
    gold coins within these lands.
[19:21] Masato
    Illegal?
[19:22] Masato
    We earned that money doing proper business.
[19:25] Masato
    If you need proof, I'll show you
    our ledger and our business permit!
[19:29] Inzagi
    There's no need.
[19:30] Inzagi
    It's a sin for vulgar peasants such
    as yourselves to even touch gold.
[19:35] Inzagi
    Every gold coin is engraved with the
    dragon crest of the Freyjagard Empire.
[19:40] Inzagi
    Allowing your filthy hands
    to touch that dragon crest
[19:43] ---
    is akin to treason against the state!
[19:46] Inzagi
    Marquis Findolf, lord of these
    lands, is highly offended.
[19:51] Masato
    That's hardly even a pretext!
[19:53] Inzagi
    Silence, peasants.
[19:55] Inzagi
    Our noble words are worth
    far more than your lives.
[19:59] Inzagi
    Should we tell you to live,
    then you shall live,
[20:02] Inzagi
    and if we say you die, you die.
[20:04] Inzagi
    This is an order directly
    from the lord himself.
[20:07] Inzagi
    "Burn all traitors who don't
    know their place at the stake."
[20:11] Roo
    Teacher!
[20:12] Masato
    Tsk.
[20:20] Winona
    Wh-What is all this?
[20:23] Villager
    Winona! It's no use! We can't find them!
[20:26] Villager
    None of them are here!
[20:27] Villager
    Th-They could still be inside.
[20:30] Winona
    We have to rescue them!
[20:32] Winona
    Let's go, everyone!
[20:33] Villagers
    Yeah!
[20:34] Tsukasa
    Do not!
[20:35] Tsukasa
    Lunging into a burning building is suicide!
[20:39] Winona
    B-But...
[20:40] Tsukasa
    Don't worry.
[20:42] Tsukasa
    We have someone capable
    of escaping welded-shut coffins.
[20:47] Akatsuki
    Exactly!
[20:52] Akatsuki
    Everyone, it's all right now!
[21:00] Villager
    Darling!
[21:01] Girl
    Father!
[21:02] Winona
    Elch, you're safe!
[21:04] Elch
    Y-Yeah...
[21:07] Elch
    Thanks to him.
[21:12] Tsukasa
    You did well, Akatsuki.
[21:13] Tsukasa
    We're lucky you were here.
[21:16] Akatsuki
    Yeah, although...
[21:19] Masato
    We have trouble, Tsukasa.
[21:21] Tsukasa
    Hm?
[21:23] Masato
    The ones who attacked this village
    called themselves the Guardian Knights,
