[00:01] Kaoru
    Now entering Drisard!
[00:03] Kaoru
    Wow, a brand-new country! A brand-new town!
[00:07] People
    She's so excited. How cute.
[00:09] People
    What an energetic girl.
[00:09] Kaoru
    They're laughing at me?
[00:11] Kaoru
    It's fine!
[00:13] Kaoru
    When you're honestly impressed,
    being vocal about it increases the effect!
[00:17] Kaoru
    That said...
[00:19] Kaoru
    It's really not that different from
    the other countries I've been in.
[00:23] Roland
    True.
[00:25] Roland
    The town we're in, Celinas, is a point
    of contact with the Kingdom of Brancott.
[00:31] Roland
    It's a cornerstone of trade
    with other countries,
[00:33] Roland
    and some even call it the face of Drisard.
[00:35] Roland
    For Drisard, it's a very
    important cosmopolitan city.
[00:38] Kaoru
    Oh!
[00:41] Kaoru
    Excuse me. Do you have any rooms available?
[00:44] Kaoru
    We'd like two doubles and one single.
[00:47] Lady
    Two doubles and... one single?
[00:50] Lady
    Ah, of course. No problem.
[00:53] Kaoru
    I think she just looked at
    me with pity in her eyes!
[00:57] Kaoru
    Hmph! No way I'm sharing a room
    with a lovey-dovey couple!
[01:01] Kaoru
    I do things alone, anyway.
[01:04] Kaoru
    But still...
SIGN    Members of Count Adan's Household
SIGN    Oldest Son
SIGN    Oldest Daughter
SIGN    Second Son
SIGN    Second Daughter
SIGN    Third Daughter
SIGN    We're siblings from
    different mothers,
    even though we
    look nothing alike.
    Not that rare among
    nobles in this
     time frame.
SIGN    We'd never pass for
     royalty, so I borrowed
    his name. I'm not calling
    myself a child to be like
    those guys who show up
    and say, "I came from
    the fire department..."
    Cough, cough... Look,
     I don't want to lie!!
SIGN    Hmph! What choice do
     I have?! I look so much
    younger than everyone
     else! I'm not even that far
     off from Belle... Is it my
     chest? It's my chest, isn't
     it?!
[01:05] Kaoru
    It's a good thing Roland clearly has
    the aura of someone high-ranking,
[01:09] Kaoru
    since that means we can pass ourselves off as
    five noble siblings traveling abroad to study.
[01:15] Kaoru
    It got us through the border
    inspection with no trouble.
[01:19] Kaoru
    Okay! The goddess and her angel
    are taking some time off!
[01:23] Kaoru
    I'm a crêpe seller
    from the Kingdom of Balmore...
[01:25] Kaoru
    I mean, the naïve, self-indulgent
    daughter of a low-ranking noble,
[01:30] Kaoru
    and I need to do some
    studying and make some money
[01:33] Kaoru
    while I look for a husband!
[01:36] Kaoru
    So, on that note...
[01:38] Kaoru
    Let's get out there and do this!
[01:45] Kaoru
    Huh?
SIGN    I'm Seen as a Beautiful Girl and Abducted!
[03:17] Kaoru
    I decided to keep quiet and let them take me.
[03:20] Kaoru
    I'm sure I'll have plenty
    of opportunities to escape.
[03:23] Kaoru
    The only problem is...
[03:27] Salle
    I want to go home.
[03:32] Kaoru
    I'm not the only one they took.
[03:37] Kaoru
    So it's unlikely that they took
    me because they know who I am.
[03:42] Kaoru
    In other words, they're...
[03:45] Kaoru
    a group that kidnaps pretty girls!
[03:47] Kaoru
    Aw, I called myself "pretty"!
[03:49] Kaoru
    But we're all cute.
[03:51] Kaoru
    It's not like I'm happy about it or anything.
[03:54] Kaoru
    It's just true!
[03:58] Lady
    Oh, the black-haired girl?
[04:00] Lady
    She went out right after
    I gave you your rooms.
[04:03] Four
    What?!
[04:05] Roland
    Kaoru is a big eater,
    and she's stingy with money.
[04:08] Roland
    She paid to have dinner
    included with our lodging,
[04:11] Roland
    so there's no way she'd skip dinner.
[04:14] Emil
    Even if she did go out, she'd be
     back by dinner time for sure.
[04:18] Francette
    Even if it was storming or raining frogs,
[04:21] Francette
    she'd make sure to be back here for dinner.
[04:23] Francette
    That's just how Kaoru is!
[04:25] Belle
    Uh-huh!
[04:26] Roland
    Which must mean...
[04:29] Roland
    Something happened that prevented
    her from coming back in time!
[04:34] Roland
    We're leaving!
[04:37] Lady
    Wait! What about dinner?
[04:40] Kaoru
    Hmm... This seems to be a hidden basement
    room in some run-down building.
[04:47] Kaoru
    Excuse me. This girl is clearly in pain.
[04:50] MinionA
    Shut up! Just keep quiet!
[04:53] Kaoru
    I can't sit by and do nothing
    when a cute girl is in pain!
[04:56] Kaoru
    They must have been rough with
    her when they abducted her.
[05:01] Kaoru
    Where I come from, when someone's
     in pain, we do this.
[05:06] Kaoru
    Pain, pain...
[05:08] Kaoru
    Fly away!
[05:10] Kaoru
    Fly away!
[05:13] Kaoru
    Fly away!
[05:16] MinionA
    Wh-What the hell did you do?!
[05:19] Kaoru
    Nothing, really.
[05:21] Kaoru
    She was in pain,
[05:23] Kaoru
    so I just used a little charm
    to take her mind off of it.
[05:26] Kaoru
    And... I did create a tiny bit of a drug
    that intensely stimulates one's sense of pain
[05:32] Kaoru
    on the surface of your
    body while I was at it.
[05:35] Kaoru
    Pain, pain, go away!
[05:40] MinionA
    S-Stop it! You'd better
     stop right now, or else...
[05:44] Kaoru
    Oh, are you sure you want to do that?
[05:46] Kaoru
    There's another charm that goes,
    "Sword tip, sword tip, fly away."
[05:53] Kaoru
    What do you think happens when that's used?
[05:56] Kaoru
    The sword flies right into
    the person wielding it.
[06:03] Reyette
    Hey, the pain really did fly away!
[06:06] Kaoru
    That's great.
[06:07] Reyette
    I'm Reyette.
[06:08] Kaoru
    I'm Kaoru. How old are you, Reyette?
[06:12] Reyette
    I'm six.
[06:13] Kaoru
    Oh, I see.
[06:15] Kaoru
    Hang in there just a bit longer, okay, guys?
[06:18] Kaoru
    I promise I'll save you.
[06:20] Reyette
    Okay!
[06:21] Leader
    What's going on?!
[06:25] Kaoru
    Huh? Um, nothing.
[06:28] Kaoru
    The guy who was guarding us just
    suddenly jumped up and ran out.
[06:32] Leader
    That idiot. He fell asleep
    on the job, didn't he?
[06:36] Kaoru
    He probably has the rank of
    a leader within this group.
[06:39] Kaoru
    But I'm sure he's just the one
    who carried out this kidnapping.
[06:43] Kaoru
    This was probably part of a
    much more organized crime.
[06:48] Kaoru
    Well, why don't I just go ahead and expose
    this pretty-girl kidnapping ring of theirs?
[06:52] Kaoru
    Yeah, "pretty" is definitely
    part of it! Uh-huh!
[06:58] Emil/Belle
    Kaoru! Kaoru!
[07:01] Emil
    Kaoru!
[07:03] Belle
    Kaoru!
[07:04] Roland
    Where could she be?
[07:06] Francette
    If anything has happened to Kaoru...
[07:10] Francette
    I'll make whoever's responsible pay.
[07:14] MinionB
    What the hell are you doing?
[07:16] Kaoru
    Playing a game.
[07:18] MinionB
    What are you eating?!
[07:19] Literisa
    Juice!
[07:21] Kaoru
    Meat skewers.
[07:22] MinionB
    Wait, where were you hiding that stuff?!
[07:25] Kaoru
    I had them in here all along.
[07:27] MinionB
    Those wouldn't fit in there!
[07:29] Kaoru
    They do, though.
[07:31] Kaoru
    Everyone, put the skewers and
    cups back when you're done.
[07:34] Girls
    Okay!
[07:38] MinionB
    There's no way those should fit!
[07:40] MinionB
    There's no way those should fit!
[07:44] MinionC
    Damn it. I wasn't supposed to
    be on guard duty until tomorrow.
[07:48] MinionC
    I should've gone out drinking sooner.
[07:51] Kaoru
    Um, what happened to the men from before?
[07:54] MinionC
    They're upstairs getting
    reamed out by our leader.
[07:56] Leader
    You morons need to get it together!
[07:59] MinionC
    Seriously, they all fall asleep
[08:01] MinionC
    and wake up screaming from
    nightmares? They've got issues.
[08:05] MinionC
    Right? You agree, don't you?
[08:07] Kaoru
    Huh? He's a lot more friendly
    than the other guys.
[08:10] Kaoru
    Maybe he likes to talk.
[08:12] Kaoru
    Okay, now's my chance
    to get some information.
[08:15] Kaoru
    Um, what's going to happen to us?
[08:19] MinionC
    Huh? Oh, don't worry.
    You won't be killed or anything.
[08:24] MinionC
    At most, you might be forced to work
[08:26] MinionC
    as a maid for some master
    wherever you end up being taken.
[08:30] MinionC
    But if you're lucky,
[08:32] MinionC
    you might get to live as some low-ranking
    noble's fourth daughter or something.
[08:38] MinionC
    Just behave and let them
    take good care of you, okay?
[08:44] Kaoru
    I know what he's talking about.
[08:48] Kaoru
    The slave trade.
[08:50] Kaoru
    Just kidnapping us was
    already a crime in itself,
[08:53] Kaoru
    but that's really serious.
[08:56] Kaoru
    This isn't a crime that a bunch
    of punks could pull off alone.
[09:00] Kaoru
    They're backed by someone who can snuff
    out a little information leak or two,
[09:05] Kaoru
    or eliminate anyone who reports them.
[09:09] MinionC
    You guys should get some sleep.
[09:11] MinionC
    Looks like you'll be leaving
    here in the morning.
[09:13] Kaoru
    Huh?
[09:15] MinionC
    I guess they were hoping
    to get one or two more...
[09:18] MinionC
    But one of you girls has some friends who're
    making a pretty big show of looking for you.
[09:26] MinionC
    And on top of that, the guards who were
    here before are kinda having breakdowns,
[09:31] MinionC
    so they decided to wrap up for now.
[09:33] Kaoru
    And there's my chance!
[09:35] MinionC
    You sure are lucky.
[09:37] MinionC
    You'll get to live easy lives with some
    domain lord or mid-level merchant.
[09:43] MinionC
    I wanna be kept by someone like that.
[09:46] Kaoru
    I have to finish this
    before I leave this town!
[09:56] Leader
    Get in there.
[10:05] Kaoru
    Give me a monomolecular vibro-blade knife.
[10:09] Kaoru
    First, the ropes around my ankles...
[10:13] Kaoru
    And then the ones on my wrists...
[10:15] Kaoru
    Ow!
[10:17] Kaoru
    That hurt as much as when I got
    a papercut from copier paper!
[10:22] Kaoru
    Wait... I didn't even need to cut the ropes.
[10:26] Kaoru
    I could have just moved them to my Item Box.
[10:29] Kaoru
    Man, I hurt myself for
    nothing! I'm such a dolt!
[10:39] GuardA
    What are you carrying?
[10:40] Leader
    Just six empty barrels.
[10:42] Kaoru
    Are we at a checkpoint or something?
[10:44] Leader
    We're on our way to pick up some wine.
[10:47] GuardA
    All clear.
[10:49] Kaoru
    What?! He's not gonna check inside?!
[10:51] Kaoru
    Still, now's my chance!
[10:53] Kaoru
    These guys are kidnappers! Please help us!
[10:58] GuardA
    Yes, these are empty barrels, all right.
[11:02] Kaoru
    Huh?!
[11:03] Leader
    Yes, they certainly are.
[11:06] Kaoru
    Oh... So they're all in on it, huh?
[11:09] Kaoru
    And there are more of them now.
[11:13] Kaoru
    Forget this. I tried everything
    I could come up with.
[11:18] Kaoru
    Besides, I'm kinda pissed off now.
[11:20] Kaoru
    All right, let's do this, then.
[11:23] Kaoru
    Give me the thing I used against
    the invading Aligot army!
[11:29] Kaoru
    And for a marker...
[11:39] Roland
    That's...
[11:42] Emil
    Hey, look!
[11:43] Belle
    Emil, the only one who can do that is...
[11:46] Emil
    Yeah, it can only be her.
[11:48] GuardA
    Get her!
[11:50] Kaoru
    Take this!
[11:54] GuardC
    Damn it!
[11:55] Kaoru
    A sunbeam in the hand!
[11:57] Kaoru
    Finishing move: Breath of the Goddess!
[12:01] Kaoru
    Except not really. It's actually
    chili pepper extract spray.
[12:05] Kaoru
    But hey, times like this call
    for beauty of form, right?
[12:09] Kaoru
    But still...
[12:11] Kaoru
    It looks like all of the
    guards here are in on it.
[12:17] Kaoru
    Francette and the rest better hurry,
    or there won't be any prey left.
[12:24] Crowd
    What happened?
[12:25] Crowd
    I heard a huge explosion.
[12:25] Crowd
    Did you see that golden cloud?
[12:26] Crowd
    What's going on?
[12:27] GuardE
    You little—
[12:33] Leader
    Little bitch!
[12:37] Kaoru
    Now!
[12:45] Kaoru
    Well done! Just like we planned!
[12:49] GuardG
    What happened?!
[12:50] Francette
    Kaoru!
[12:52] Kaoru
    Oh, Fran.
[12:53] Francette
    Don't you "oh" me!
[12:56] Francette
    Do you have any idea how worried we've been?
[13:00] Francette
    We searched all night with
    no idea what might happen!
[13:02] Francette
    And why didn't you tell us
    you were leaving the inn?!
[13:04] Francette
    You're always like this!
[13:05] Kaoru
    I'm sorry.
[13:07] Kaoru
    Fearsome Fran really is fearsome.
[13:10] Roland
    F-Fran, I think that's
    enough lecturing for now.
[13:14] Commander
    What happened here?
[13:15] Kaoru
    Okay, there are a lot of people here now.
[13:18] Kaoru
    There's no better time!
[13:20] Kaoru
    Well, see, I was taken by these serial
    kidnappers of beautiful girls.
[13:26] Kaoru
    The ones on the ground
    there are the kidnappers.
[13:28] Kaoru
    The ones you see here are the
    beautiful victims, myself included.
[13:33] Kaoru
    And those guards on the ground
[13:35] Kaoru
    knew that these guys were transporting
    beautiful girls they'd kidnapped,
[13:39] Kaoru
    but they were going to let them pass.
[13:42] Kaoru
    In other words, they're on
     the kidnappers' side.
[13:45] Commander
    Wh-What?
[13:48] Francette
    Not that it matters,
[13:49] Francette
    but I notice you stress the part
    about you being beautiful a lot.
[13:53] GuardG
    They're the guys behind that
    serial kidnapping case?
[13:56] GuardG
    We couldn't seem to find any leads on them.
[13:59] GuardH
    I can't believe some of our own
    men were working with them.
[14:01] Kaoru
    It's a big deal for sure.
[14:03] Kaoru
    Part of your country's guard force
    was in on a kidnapping ring.
[14:07] Kaoru
    It's an unbelievable scandal.
[14:09] Roland
    This could even escalate
    to an international issue.
[14:12] Roland
    Celinas is the face of Drisard, after all.
[14:16] Commander
    B-But there are so many of them.
[14:18] Commander
    Who took them all out?
[14:20] PasserbyA
    They were already down by the
    time those guys got here.
[14:25] PasserbyB
    Which means... she did it all herself?
[14:29] Kaoru
    No, not quite.
[14:30] Commander
    What? Then who...
[14:33] Kaoru
    It was the goddess.
[14:39] Kaoru
    Oh, looks like the domain
    lord himself has arrived.
[14:44] Lord
    Are you the one who claims to
    have met the goddess Celestine?
[14:48] Kaoru
    Yes, I am.
[14:51] Lord
    Is it true?
[14:52] Kaoru
    Oh, yes, and she was absolutely beautiful!
[14:55] Kaoru
    Though her breasts were a bit...
[14:58] Kaoru
    no, considerably less pronounced
    than on her statue...
[15:02] Kaoru
    Owie!
[15:03] Kaoru
    Please forget I said that...
[15:07] Kaoru
    Darn it, Celes!
[15:09] Kaoru
    The goddess knocked out all
    the bad guys to save us.
[15:15] Kaoru
    Also, the golden cloud and roaring sound
[15:18] Kaoru
    were signals to call forth devout and
    faithful servants of the goddess.
[15:21] Commander
    Y-You mean us?
[15:24] Lord
    So what happened to the goddess?
[15:27] Kaoru
    She spoke to me for a bit,
    and then ascended to the heavens.
[15:32] Lord
    Spoke to you?
[15:33] Kaoru
    Yes. The goddess Celestine gave me a message.
[15:39] Kaoru
    "Capturing beautiful, innocent young girls
[15:41] Kaoru
    and selling them as slaves is inexcusable.
[15:44] Kaoru
    Both the kidnappers and those who accepted
    bribes to overlook them are equally guilty.
[15:50] Kaoru
    Punish them impartially.
[15:53] Kaoru
    If any escape punishment,
    I will punish them myself."
[15:57] Kaoru
    That's her message.
[16:00] Kaoru
    Oh, and by the way,
[16:02] Kaoru
    when the goddess Celestine says
    she's going to punish someone...
[16:05] Kaoru
    If even one of those infuriating
    perpetrators remains unpunished,
[16:08] Kaoru
    she'll crush him and the home
    of his domain's lord.
[16:11] Kaoru
    And if even the slightest root
    of the organization remains,
[16:15] Kaoru
    she'll turn the entire city
    they're in into a sea of flames.
[16:18] Kaoru
    That's the kind of thing she's talking about.
[16:24] Lord
    G-Get them!
[16:26] Lord
    Don't let a single one
    escape or kill himself!
[16:30] Lord
    Make them give up every last detail!
[16:32] Lord
    I will not tolerate mistakes!
[16:33] Lord
    Nay, I cannot!
[16:35] Guards
    Yes, sir!
[16:36] Kaoru
    Oh, as for the kidnappers' base...
[16:39] Kaoru
    The goddess said she'd use
    red smoke to lead you to it.
[16:44] GuardH
    That way!
[16:46] Roland
    What a disaster.
[16:48] Kaoru
    But it doesn't seem like the
    domain lord was in on it.
[16:52] Kaoru
    And it seems like they only
    sold slaves domestically,
[16:56] Kaoru
    mainly to local lords
    and mid-level merchants,
[17:00] Kaoru
    so this won't be an international incident.
[17:02] LiterisaMom
    Literisa!
[17:03] SalleMom
    Salle!
[17:05] LiterisaMom
    Literisa!
[17:06] SalleMom
    Salle!
[17:07] Salle
    Mom!
[17:08] Literisa
    Mother!
[17:15] Kaoru
    Where are Reyette's guardians?
[17:17] Commander
    Apparently, her parents sold her off.
[17:20] Commander
    She was abducted from her
    buyers while in transport.
[17:26] Kaoru
    What'll happen to her now?
[17:29] Commander
    I guess the best thing for her would
    be to put her in an orphanage.
[17:32] Commander
    She'll be much happier there
    than dying young in the slums.
[17:36] Lord
    I'll write a letter later,
[17:39] Lord
    explaining that she was saved by the goddess.
[17:41] Lord
    I'm sure they'll take care—
[17:43] Kaoru
    In that case, I'll take Reyette in myself.
[17:46] All
    What?!
[17:47] Francette
    K-Kaoru, you'd do that again?
[17:49] Roland
    Take her in? But that's...
[17:53] Emil
    I think it's fine.
[17:55] Belle
    We know all too well how she feels.
[17:59] Kaoru
    Emil, Belle...
[18:03] Kaoru
    Is there any problem with me taking her in?
[18:06] Commander
    Uh... no, there's no legal issue with it.
[18:09] Commander
    It's all up to her, now that she's free.
[18:14] Reyette
    I'll go with you!
[18:15] Kaoru
    Got me a cute little girl!
[18:18] Kaoru
    Now I won't have to feel all alone when
    those two couples are showing off!
[18:24] Kaoru
    Well, there you have it, then.
[18:25] Francette
    Uh, there we have what, exactly?
[18:32] Kaoru
    Hi-yo, Silver!
[18:34] Ed
    Seriously, who is Silver?!
[18:36] Francette
    By the way, Kaoru, why'd you give
    them such a roundabout story?
[18:41] Francette
    If you're invoking the goddess's name anyway,
[18:43] Francette
    wouldn't it be easier to
    just say you're her angel?
[18:47] Kaoru
    No way. Do you even realize
[18:51] Kaoru
    how many headaches I've
    been through by doing that?
[18:55] Roland
    True...
[18:57] Kaoru
    But since I said what I did,
    no one tried to follow or stop us,
[19:01] Kaoru
    so we were able to get back on the road.
[19:04] Kaoru
    Right, Reyette?
[19:05] Reyette
    Right!
[19:07] Kaoru
    But a long trip on horseback will
    probably be hard on Reyette.
[19:11] Kaoru
    It'd be pretty bad if she
    fell off for some reason.
[19:15] Kaoru
    Ed, I have a little favor to ask.
[19:18] Ed
    What is it?
[19:19] Ed
    I owe you my life.
[19:20] Ed
    I'll do anything for you.
[19:22] Kaoru
    I'd actually like you to pull a carriage.
[19:25] Ed
    F-Forget it!
[19:27] Kaoru
    Hey! You changed your story!
[19:30] Ed
    I am a purebred riding horse!
[19:33] Ed
    An army horse specialized
    for combat, at that!
[19:36] Ed
    And you want to make me a cart horse?!
[19:38] Ed
    Even if you're the one asking,
    that's the one thing I can't do!
[19:43] Kaoru
    B-But the carriage you'll be pulling
    isn't just an ordinary one.
[19:47] Ed
    Eh?
[19:48] Kaoru
    Come forth, chariot of the goddess!
SIGN    Naturally,
    it's a potion container!!
[20:05] Kaoru
    This is called a chariot.
[20:07] Kaoru
    It's a horse-drawn carriage made for combat.
[20:10] Ed
    Hah! A carriage is still a carriage!
[20:13] Kaoru
    Better step away, then.
[20:15] Kaoru
    You'll get hurt if you're too close to it.
[20:17] Ed
    Huh?
[20:18] Kaoru
    Reyette, don't stand up.
[20:21] Reyette
    Okay.
[20:22] Kaoru
    Now, then...
[20:31] Kaoru
    And also...
[20:43] Emil
    Wow...
[20:45] Belle
    The chariot of the goddess!
[20:48] Roland Horse
    Lady Kaoru!
[20:49] Roland Horse
    I'll pull it!
[20:51] Fran Horse
    No, I will!
[20:53] Kaoru
    I guess I'll have you two do it, then.
[20:55] Kaoru
    If Ed doesn't want to, that's just how it is.
[20:58] Ed
    No, no, no! Wait! Wait just a minute!
[21:03] Ed
    Yahoo!
[21:05] Ed
    Whoo-hoo-hoo!
[21:07] Celestine
    So anyway, Kaoru and her friends are
    doing just fine on their journey.
[21:12] Celestine
    Not only that, but she's making sure to
    repay all the people who've helped her.
[21:18] Celestine
    For example, the maid she
    used as a body double
[21:22] Celestine
    when she escaped the baron's mansion...
[21:24] Celestine
    was rewarded with silky smooth skin
    and hair, and married a rich man.
[21:30] Celestine
    And the guard who let her go when she
    fled from the Kingdom of Brancott...
[21:35] Celestine
    had a lovely son who'd been badly hurt
    in an accident, and she saved him.
[21:44] Earth Administrator
    I'm glad to hear that.
[21:46] Earth Administrator
    Both Kaoru's safety and the
    continued peace in Verny
[21:51] Earth Administrator
    are all thanks to you.
[21:53] Celestine
    Aw, thank you so much!
[21:56] Celestine
    Don't worry!
[21:58] Celestine
    I'll make sure Verny is
    always peaceful and safe!
