**[00:09] ---**
How did we end up like this?
**[00:11] ---**
What other choice was there?
**[00:13] ---**
Roroa has her hands full turning
slave traders into civil servants.
**[00:16] ---**
They're going to have to be certified,
**[00:18] ---**
so getting their licenses issued and
complaints dealt with has her in a tizzy.
**[00:22] ---**
Juna is busy doing her show,
**[00:25] ---**
and Aisha wanted to concentrate
on her martial arts training--
**[00:27] ---**
That's not what I'm talking about!
**[00:29] ---**
I meant, how did we end up
on this crazy road trip?
**[00:32] ---**
What else was I supposed to do?
**[00:34] ---**
When I said I was going
down to the castle town,
**[00:37] ---**
Serina insisted that I take Owen
and Carla with us as escorts.
**[00:42] ---**
But you were right when you said
**[00:44] ---**
that even a thrown-together
party of adventurers
**[00:47] ---**
would look like they belong
together more than we do.
**[00:50] ---**
You might have worn
that student uniform again,
**[00:53] ---**
like you did last time, remember?
**[00:55] ---**
It's not as though Owen doesn't
look like a teacher dressed like that,
**[00:59] ---**
and you actually are still getting
martial arts training from him.
**[01:02] ---**
You're one to talk, Liscia. If *you*
had dressed up like an adventurer,
**[01:06] ---**
we would look more like a party, right?
**[01:08] ---**
Wh-Why are you both
looking at me like that?
**[01:12] ---**
Either way, Carla would have stood out.
**[01:14] ---**
That's true.
**[01:15] ---**
Are you not both
being a little mean, sire?
**[01:17] ---**
--Well, you *are* in a maid uniform.
--Well, you *are* in a maid uniform.
**[01:19] ---**
I-I am not dressed up like this
because I wish to be, sire.
**[01:24] ---**
If it were not for Serina's orders,
**[01:26] ---**
I would much rather be wearing some armor.
**[01:28] ---**
Carla, you are our friend,
so whenever Serina isn't around,
**[01:33] ---**
you don't have to be so formal to us.
**[01:35] ---**
That's right.
**[01:36] ---**
You're concerned about my speech,
but ignore my complaint?!
**[01:40] ---**
Incidentally, Your Maj-- er, Kazuya,
are you sure you wish to go this way?
**[01:45] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[01:47] ---**
Oh, but if we go this way...
**[01:49] ---**
Ah, is that what concerns you?
You're right.
**[01:52] ---**
If we keep going this way,
we'll end up in the "old" slums.
**[01:55] ---**
It is not exactly a place where
I would like to take you or Liscia.
**[02:01] ---**
Such a dingy place, full of crime.
**[02:05] ---**
That's all in the past.
**[02:08] ---**
You mean it's not anymore?
**[02:09] ---**
It would be quicker
to see it for yourself.
**[02:13] ---**
*"...Keep on going anyway"*
**[02:15] ---**
*Our bond strikes deep into my left breast*
**[02:28] ---**
*We enjoy a fleeting happiness
after weathering one fog,*
**[02:33] ---**
*until our vision becomes obscured again*
**[02:39] ---**
*Bitterly betrayed, we grow
disgusted by our destiny*
**[02:44] ---**
*But why does the dawn still come?*
**[02:49] ---**
*We close our eyes and try to remember*
**[02:54] ---**
*the chance of stopping, of never meeting*
**[02:59] ---**
*From boundless zero to infinity,*
**[03:05] ---**
*dreaming is the heartbeat of believing*
**[03:11] ---**
*We'll move along alone and in pairs*
**[03:14] ---**
*Don't stay put; our small,
though by no means helpless steps*
**[03:20] ---**
*will open uncharted territory
for each of us*
**[03:25] ---**
*Realize we will never again
let our dreams die on the vine*
**[03:31] ---**
*The tear tracks that run down
our cheeks are shooting stars*
**[03:38] ---**
*We're going to grab hold of them*
**[03:45] ---**

"Gargling and Hand Washing are
the Basis of Disease Prevention"
What do you think?
**[03:51] ---**
Huh? Mm-hmm, it's a lot different
from what I had pictured,
**[03:55] ---**
so you could say I'm surprised.
**[03:56] ---**
What you pictured?
**[03:58] ---**
That it was dark and gloomy,
musty and unsafe here.
**[04:02] ---**
I was told the same things, too.
**[04:05] ---**
Are these really the slums?
**[04:07] ---**
Now they're the "old" slums.
**[04:10] ---**
The former image is gone now, right?
**[04:13] ---**
When we tackled the sanitation problem,
we did our best to outfit everyone.
**[04:17] ---**
The sanitation problem? You mentioned
that while improving the city.
**[04:22] ---**
Was furnishing all this a part of that?
**[04:25] ---**
We tore down the old houses and built
them again to be more sunny and airy.
**[04:30] ---**
While we were at it, we eradicated
the criminals and illegal drugs,
**[04:34] ---**
so we aired the place out
in that sense, as well.
**[04:37] ---**
Did he just up and say that he
eliminated criminals and illegal drugs?
**[04:41] ---**
He did, he did.
**[04:43] ---**
Then we had the residents
move into the new buildings.
**[04:47] ---**
They're small and cramped,
but they're free.
**[04:50] ---**
In addition, by hiring them
to help keep the city clean,
**[04:54] ---**
they get both support and
sanitation at the same time.
**[04:57] ---**
You've been up to all sorts of things.
Sure you're not overdoing it?
**[05:01] ---**
It is hard work, but it's fun, as well--
**[05:04] ---**
rebuilding the city--
the country the way I want it.
**[05:08] ---**
And if, as a result, the people smile
more, where's the harm in that?
**[05:12] ---**
Sure. But if there's anything
I can do, let me, okay?
**[05:17] ---**
Of course. I'm relying on you.
**[05:19] ---**
I must say, this is a far cry from
the slums that used to be here.
**[05:23] ---**
Decay takes place in
an unclean environment,
**[05:26] ---**
and pathogens are more likely to spread.
**[05:29] ---**
"Pathogens"?
**[05:31] ---**
There are tiny creatures in the world,
invisible to the naked eye,
**[05:34] ---**
living in the air, soil, water, and
everywhere else, in countless numbers.
**[05:40] ---**
I just told you, you can't see them!
**[05:43] ---**
It's these little creatures
that make things spoil,
**[05:46] ---**
and cause illnesses to happen.
**[05:49] ---**
Ah! So is that why you recommend
that we gargle and wash our hands?
**[05:54] ---**
That's right.
**[05:56] ---**
Is it really these "pathogens"
that cause disease?
**[06:00] ---**
I believe what Kazuya tells us.
**[06:02] ---**
It's not a question of whether
they believe me or not.
**[06:06] ---**
But, since they solve all their problems
with magic, what can I do?
**[06:10] ---**
Medicine and hygiene as such are not
very advanced here in this world.
**[06:15] ---**
That's probably because light elemental
magic has such a widespread presence.
**[06:18] ---**
Light magic augments the ability to heal,
and can treat even serious wounds.
**[06:26] ---**
But light magic has the drawback
**[06:29] ---**
of being unable to treat the infections
and injuries of the elderly,
**[06:32] ---**
whose natural ability
to heal is diminished.
**[06:35] ---**
Up until just recently,
**[06:37] ---**
the treatment of infectious
diseases was rampant
**[06:40] ---**
with drugs made of dubious ingredients,
and questionable folk remedies.
**[06:44] ---**
When I started tackling
the sanitation problem,
**[06:46] ---**
my thinking was that I needed to do
something about that right away.
**[06:50] ---**
The first thing I had to do was make them
recognize that pathogens exist.
**[06:54] ---**
But how do you get people to acknowledge
something they can't see?
**[06:59] ---**
There are people--or rather,
a race of people--
**[07:02] ---**
here in this world who know of the
existence of germs and microorganisms.
**[07:06] ---**
They are said to be able to use an
enhanced perception, a "third eye,"
**[07:10] ---**
to see microorganisms which
ordinarily could not be seen.
**[07:13] ---**
A third eye?
**[07:15] ---**
Would that be the three-eyed race?
**[07:17] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[07:18] ---**
I'm surprised they agreed
to work with you.
**[07:21] ---**
I've heard they were a race that
shunned contact with other races.
**[07:25] ---**
It seems as though the reason for
their clannishness is their third eye.
**[07:31] ---**
They can tell if something
is sanitary or not with a glance.
**[07:35] ---**
That's why they avoid contact
with other races as much as possible.
**[07:39] ---**
In other words, they see us
as having cooties!
**[07:41] ---**
Huh? Oh, yeah, pretty close.
**[07:44] ---**
Moreover, the three-eyed race knew
of the existence of pathogens.
**[07:49] ---**
As well as the fact that they cause
diseases that light magic can't treat.
**[07:53] ---**
Anyhow, using their third eyes, they
developed their own brand of medicine.
**[07:58] ---**
Their research into infectious
diseases, in particular,
**[08:01] ---**
is centuries ahead of the rest
of the world's level of medicine.
**[08:05] ---**
Oh, is that the reason why the
three-eyed race have such longevity?
**[08:09] ---**
They're long-lived?
**[08:11] ---**
You know how humans and beastmen
only live to around 60?
**[08:17] ---**
Well, their average lifespan
is well over 80.
**[08:22] ---**
Liscia is right.
They've extended their lifetimes
**[08:24] ---**
by developing these concepts of hygiene.
**[08:26] ---**
This "hygiene" is incredible.
**[08:29] ---**
So, I set up talks with them
to ask them for their cooperation.
**[08:34] ---**
Beyond that, I had them make a device
**[08:37] ---**
that will let other races see germs
and microorganisms.
**[08:41] ---**
Amazing!
**[08:42] ---**
That's our Kazuya, all right.
**[08:44] ---**
We had them back in my world,
after all. It's called a "microscope."
**[08:47] ---**
"Microscope"?
**[08:49] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:49] ---**
It's a device that makes small things look
bigger by putting lenses together.
**[08:54] ---**
Thanks to one of these,
I was able to prove
**[08:57] ---**
that what the three-eyed race
was saying is true.
**[08:59] ---**
And that's not all. They've already
come up with antibiotics.
**[09:04] ---**
"Antibiotics"?
**[09:06] ---**
I'll skip the explanation,
since it's pretty complicated,
**[09:09] ---**
but it's a substance that inhibits
the growth of pathogens.
**[09:12] ---**
So it's a medicine?
**[09:14] ---**
Yeah. They just called it "medicine," too.
But that gets confusing,
**[09:19] ---**
so on my own authority, I coined
the name "three-eyedine" for it.
**[09:23] ---**
"Medicine" made by the "three-eyed" race,
which makes it "three-eyedine."
**[09:26] ---**
So what does it mean that
this "three-eyedine" stuff
**[09:30] ---**
can control the growth of germs?
**[09:32] ---**
It's a wonder drug against
infectious diseases.
**[09:34] ---**
You can think of it as an amazing medicine
**[09:37] ---**
that can treat epidemics and prevents
open wounds from festering.
**[09:42] ---**
Treat epidemics? It can even
do something like that?
**[09:46] ---**
The three-eyed race can see germs,
**[09:48] ---**
so they were also able to find
a means of stopping them.
**[09:51] ---**
So then, can we mass-produce it?
**[09:54] ---**
Liscia?
**[09:55] ---**
This is something important.
I mean, it can even treat epidemics.
**[09:59] ---**
Not even mages can do that.
**[10:01] ---**
There's not much yet, but we're
ramping up production little by little.
**[10:05] ---**
That's amazing.
**[10:07] ---**
Anyhow, the three-eyed race
is fully cooperating with us,
**[10:11] ---**
and the kingdom has no plans
to hold anything back
**[10:14] ---**
when it comes to assisting
in the medical field.
**[10:16] ---**
Our biggest bottleneck was
the small number of gelmedics
**[10:19] ---**
from which the three-eyedine is extracted.
**[10:22] ---**
"Gelmedics"?
**[10:24] ---**
They're sort of a subspecies of gelins,
**[10:26] ---**
which can survive in
unsanitary environments.
**[10:29] ---**
Three-eyedine is extracted from gelmedics
before it gets refined.
**[10:33] ---**
Thanks to Tomoe's help,
the gelmedics' numbers are increasing.
**[10:37] ---**
Hold on.
**[10:38] ---**
Gelins are more like plants.
Can Tomoe still talk to them?
**[10:43] ---**
Apparently, she can't communicate
with them as well as animals.
**[10:46] ---**
Even so, she seems to have found out
their ideal living environment
**[10:48] ---**
and conditions for growth to some extent.
**[10:51] ---**
She may be our little sister, but she
more than comes in handy, huh?
**[10:54] ---**
Isn't that the truth?
**[11:01] ---**
Sterilize the unclean! There you are,
there you are, there you are! Sterilized!
**[11:08] ---**
Kazuya, that woman could be dangerous.
**[11:10] ---**
Wh-What is that weirdo doing?
**[11:13] ---**
That's a normal activity for her.
**[11:15] ---**
You know her?
**[11:17] ---**
She's Hilde Norg. As you can see,
she's from the three-eyed race.
**[11:21] ---**
What's more, she has superb medical
skills, even among her own people,
**[11:24] ---**
enough that she could be called a doctor.
**[11:27] ---**
*She's* a doctor?
**[11:28] ---**
Same old Hilde, I see.
**[11:30] ---**
Hmm? Who are you?
**[11:34] ---**
It's me.
**[11:35] ---**
Oh, it's you, the king. I thought
you were some vagabond.
**[11:40] ---**
Hilde, allow me to make some
introductions. These two are...
**[11:43] ---**
I know. The princess, and the former
air force general's daughter, right?
**[11:48] ---**
That is quite the embarrassing
outfit you have on.
**[11:52] ---**
Do you know Owen here?
**[11:54] ---**
I wouldn't even want to know
such a filthy old man.
**[11:58] ---**
What was that?!
Who are you calling filthy?!
**[12:00] ---**
Keep your distance, you musclebound freak.
**[12:03] ---**
So tell me, Hilde,
what brings you here today?
**[12:06] ---**
Leave the people here to themselves,
and they get unsanitary in a hurry.
**[12:11] ---**
I come by here regularly to offer
health tips, and to sanitize.
**[12:14] ---**
That reminds me, where's your partner?
Is he not with you?
**[12:17] ---**
Don't call him my partner.
**[12:20] ---**
Brad is somewhere outside.
**[12:22] ---**
He said he'd "rather treat innocent
stray dogs than overgrown pigs,"
**[12:28] ---**
or some sort of nonsense.
**[12:30] ---**
Same old Brad, too.
**[12:32] ---**
King, would you mind
talking to him for me?
**[12:34] ---**
He always makes me lecture
the junior students.
**[12:38] ---**
Who's this "Brad"?
**[12:40] ---**
Brad Jocker. He's another doctor,
one who's a counterpart to Hilde
**[12:45] ---**
as far as healthcare reform.
**[12:47] ---**
Is he three-eyed, too?
**[12:49] ---**
No, he's a young human,
who's a decent enough doctor,
**[12:54] ---**
but his personality could use some work.
**[12:55] ---**
Excuse me, have you been
listening to me, "Your Majesty"?
**[13:00] ---**
Oh, sorry. I'll have a word with him.
**[13:03] ---**
So, what brings the king
and his people here?
**[13:07] ---**
Oh, I wanted to check on the job training
center I put Ginger in charge of.
**[13:20] ---**
Goodbye, Miss San!
**[13:22] ---**
See you tomorrow!
**[13:23] ---**
Goodbye, everyone.
**[13:27] ---**
Your Majesty, thank you for stopping by.
**[13:30] ---**
Hey, San. Is Ginger around?
**[13:33] ---**
Master Ginger, His Majesty Souma is here.
**[13:36] ---**
Huh?!
**[13:39] ---**
Wh-Why, Your Majesty...!
**[13:41] ---**
I told you, you don't
have to be so formal.
**[13:43] ---**
P-Princess! I-I'm--
**[13:46] ---**
I m-mean, my name is Ginger Camus-mus.
**[13:50] ---**
Master Ginger, you're stuttering.
**[13:56] ---**
This is Carla Vargas,
and Owen Jabana. And that's--
**[14:00] ---**
Dr. Hilde is always stopping by to give
free medical checkups to the children.
**[14:06] ---**
Huh?
**[14:07] ---**
I just don't like having
dirty kids touching me,
**[14:10] ---**
so I'll be over there. Give me
a holler when you're finished.
**[14:14] ---**
If you're looking for the children,
they all went over there.
**[14:17] ---**
Yeah, yeah, all right.
**[14:20] ---**
Are you teaching the children to read,
write, and do math here?
**[14:23] ---**
Not just the children.
The adults are learning, as well.
**[14:27] ---**
The adults, too?
**[14:28] ---**
There are many adults who
can't read, write, or count.
**[14:32] ---**
We teach children during the day, and
adults at night after they finish working.
**[14:36] ---**
Is that right? That's amazing.
**[14:39] ---**
We plan to start teaching
other things too, eventually.
**[14:43] ---**
Right, Your Majesty?
**[14:44] ---**
Yeah. Such as training for civil engineers
and adventurers who go into dungeons,
**[14:51] ---**
and teaching medical techniques
from Hilde and others.
**[14:53] ---**
That's quite the variety of subjects.
**[14:56] ---**
Most academic research in this world
focuses on magic and monsters, right?
**[15:01] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[15:03] ---**
But I think that there's an enormous
amount of innovation to be found
**[15:07] ---**
hiding within research that's
outside of the mainstream.
**[15:10] ---**
If you master any field, no matter
what it is, you'll be the best at it.
**[15:13] ---**
It's in becoming Number One
that you also become the Only One.
**[15:16] ---**
And you want to nurture
those "Only Ones," right?
**[15:19] ---**
Yeah. And in order to do that,
the first thing that needs to be done
**[15:22] ---**
is to raise the level of education
for the whole kingdom.
**[15:25] ---**
So what's the status of
the training center now?
**[15:28] ---**
Well, our attendance is way up.
**[15:31] ---**
The school lunch program that Your Majesty
suggested must be doing well.
**[15:35] ---**
What is a school lunch program?
**[15:38] ---**
I introduced a system
we used in my homeland.
**[15:40] ---**
If children under 12 years old study here,
**[15:43] ---**
they get to eat lunch for free.
**[15:45] ---**
Ho...
**[15:47] ---**
That's great! That alone will be
a huge help for poor households.
**[15:51] ---**
If they study hard,
**[15:52] ---**
there's a good chance they can escape
from a life of poverty in the future.
**[15:56] ---**
But on the other hand,
our adult attendance is poor.
**[16:00] ---**
They say that they've lived this long
without reading, writing, and arithmetic,
**[16:03] ---**
and aren't really going for it.
**[16:05] ---**
Opening their eyes in that regard
is my job. I'll think of something.
**[16:11] ---**
Please do.
**[16:12] ---**
Now then, we've checked that the job
training center is coming along well,
**[16:16] ---**
so on to the next stop.
**[16:17] ---**
What next stop?
**[16:18] ---**
Huh? Didn't I mention
the reason for coming out here?
**[16:21] ---**
--Mm-mm.
--Mm-mm.
**[16:23] ---**
We're going outside.
**[16:24] ---**
Outside of where?
**[16:26] ---**
Outside the walls.
**[16:27] ---**
That's even more dangerous than the slums.
**[16:29] ---**
That's where the refugee camps are.
**[16:31] ---**
I'm going to meet with those refugees.
**[16:34] ---**
Huh?
**[16:34] ---**
If you're going outside,
I'll come with you.
**[16:37] ---**
Wh-When did you get back?!
**[16:39] ---**
I finished disinfecting the kids.
**[16:42] ---**
And Brad is outside.
I'm going to really stick it to him
**[16:46] ---**
for making me do his lectures.
**[16:55] ---**
It is a dirty place,
**[16:57] ---**
but oddly enough, there's a powerful
look in their eyes, at least.
**[17:01] ---**
They came here from far to the north,
with nothing but the will to live.
**[17:06] ---**
It's likely that those who are here
are far tougher than we think.
**[17:12] ---**
People who have gone through
wars, natural disasters,
**[17:14] ---**
and other misfortunes
beyond their control,
**[17:16] ---**
and yet still try to stand
on their own two feet,
**[17:19] ---**
have their own unique brand of strength.
**[17:21] ---**
But then, that strength
can also be a hazard.
**[17:24] ---**
While their sense of unity grows stronger,
**[17:26] ---**
their sense of individuality
also becomes watered down.
**[17:29] ---**
By the way, So--I mean Kazuya, you said
you had given them some support.
**[17:33] ---**
What did you do?
**[17:34] ---**
It wasn't much, but we
sent food, firewood,
**[17:37] ---**
and other supplies they needed.
**[17:39] ---**
I also placed an order
with the adventurers guild
**[17:42] ---**
to make doing security
around here a quest.
**[17:45] ---**
The food support I get, but what's
this about adventurer security?
**[17:49] ---**
When foreign nationals are either
the victims or perpetrators of crimes,
**[17:53] ---**
it often leads to international incidents.
**[17:55] ---**
But it's different for these people,
who have lost their countries.
**[17:57] ---**
There may be those who think,
**[17:59] ---**
"As long as it doesn't become
an international case, it's all right."
**[18:02] ---**
Those sorts of people need to be punished.
**[18:05] ---**
No, there's also the possibility that our
own people could harm the refugees.
**[18:09] ---**
Hmm...
**[18:15] ---**
What's all the commotion?
**[18:17] ---**
Th-Those guys just showed up out of
nowhere and tried to kidnap our children!
**[18:21] ---**
They what?!
**[18:22] ---**
What's worse, they laid into
the people who tried to stop them!
**[18:24] ---**
Now, the adventurers who heard
what was happening are fighting them.
**[18:29] ---**
Carla, Owen, go help the adventurers.
**[18:32] ---**
As you command.
**[18:33] ---**
Not to do right when it is presented
is the absence of valor!
**[18:36] ---**
Let's go, Carla!
**[18:38] ---**
Hilde, help the priest.
**[18:40] ---**
Oh well, what other choice is there?
**[18:43] ---**
And I'll protect you, Kazuya.
**[18:45] ---**
As a hero, this is pathetic,
but please do.
**[18:48] ---**
I'm on it.
**[18:51] ---**
Can you fight if it should come to it?
**[18:53] ---**
Owen has been putting me
through my paces lately,
**[18:55] ---**
but he says I'm still only slightly
better than a fresh recruit.
**[18:58] ---**
That doesn't sound too reassuring.
If anything happens, stay behind me.
**[19:03] ---**
I guess that's all I can do.
**[19:09] ---**
Get down, Yuno!
**[19:15] ---**
Uh-oh.
**[19:16] ---**
Why, you...!
**[19:20] ---**
Keep calm. It just takes one strike.
If I can make it through one strike,
**[19:23] ---**
Yuno can get back to her feet.
**[19:25] ---**
I just have to remember the basic
moves that Owen drilled into me!
**[19:34] ---**
Whoa...
**[19:37] ---**
I did it! I really did it!
I managed to parry!
**[19:39] ---**
--Don't just stand there!
--Don't just stand there!
**[19:50] ---**
What were you thinking?!
**[19:52] ---**
How could you run off like that?!
**[19:54] ---**
Oh, I, uh... I'm sorry.
**[19:57] ---**
Don't "I'm sorry" me! I thought
my heart was going to stop!
**[20:00] ---**
If anything were to happen to you, I'd...
**[20:03] ---**
Hey, you! You just called me Yuno,
didn't you?!
**[20:07] ---**
How is it that you know my name?!
**[20:09] ---**
Oh, well... that is...
**[20:11] ---**
So, Kazuya, you seem
awfully chummy with her.
**[20:16] ---**
How do I explain my way out of this?
**[20:19] ---**
I don't suppose I can say I'm the king,
**[20:21] ---**
who has been going on adventures
with you as Little Musashibo, can I?
**[20:24] ---**
Hey, did you hear me?
**[20:26] ---**
Kazuya...?
**[20:27] ---**
What are you doing, Master?
**[20:31] ---**
I saw what you did! The sword skills
I taught you came in handy, huh?
**[20:37] ---**
Ah, nice work, guys!
**[20:39] ---**
Hold on, Kazuya!
**[20:40] ---**
Hey! I want an explanation!
**[20:42] ---**
So, who are these people, anyway?
**[20:46] ---**
Well?!
**[20:47] ---**
W-We were just hired by a slave trader.
**[20:50] ---**
--A slave trader? What for?
--Ow-w-w...
**[20:53] ---**
The king of this country has gone and
turned slave traders into civil servants.
**[20:58] ---**
So, because of some qualification
business, our employer failed his review.
**[21:03] ---**
But why are you attacking refugees?
**[21:06] ---**
For money to flee the country.
Women and children fetch a good price.
**[21:10] ---**
Did you say money?!
**[21:11] ---**
Ow, you're hurting me!
**[21:13] ---**
We were told the kingdom wouldn't go
out of their way to protect refugees.
**[21:18] ---**
You think that's true?!
**[21:19] ---**
W-We were just hired to do a job.
**[21:30] ---**
Carla, would you go and tell Hakuya
what just happened here?
**[21:34] ---**
I'm sure he'll take swift
measures to deal with this.
**[21:37] ---**
Yes, as you command.
**[21:39] ---**
I finished treating the injured.
But what do we do now?
**[21:43] ---**
It looks like we've drawn quite a crowd.
**[21:45] ---**
Aw, and we're supposed
to be incognito, too!
**[21:47] ---**
I told you, don't raise
your voice like that!
**[21:50] ---**
Ladies and gentlemen! Your children
who were nearly kidnapped,
**[21:54] ---**
were saved by *these* adventurers!
**[21:58] ---**
You saved our children!
**[22:00] ---**
Thank you so much!
**[22:02] ---**
Now's our chance to get away.
**[22:04] ---**
As you wish.
**[22:05] ---**
Ah! Wait the hell up! Hey, you! Hey!
**[22:08] ---**
So, now where are we going?
**[22:10] ---**
To see the refugees' chief.
**[22:12] ---**
What are you meeting him for?
**[22:14] ---**
To solve the refugee problem.
**[22:28] ---**
*"What are we supposed to choose?"*
**[22:33] ---**
*Our voices imploring the future are hoarse*
**[22:38] ---**
*We've become so afraid
of what we could lose*
**[22:44] ---**
*that we're just frozen in place*
**[22:49] ---**
*How many times have we made mistakes*
**[22:53] ---**
*because we wanted to check our "answers"?*
**[22:59] ---**
*Before we knew it we were in love,
we had fallen in love*
**[23:07] ---**
*I'll hold fast to you
in the times we're in*
**[23:11] ---**
*We who set alight
our finite lives to fight*
**[23:17] ---**
*are noble and beautiful above all*
**[23:22] ---**
*As long as we create
as many bright tomorrows*
**[23:26] ---**
*as the indelible wounds we suffer,*
**[23:31] ---**
*we can be proud of all
we've woven together*
