[00:08] Kaoru
    Long trips sure are exhausting.
[00:10] Kaoru
    The scenery never even changes.
[00:12] Kaoru
    I kinda feel like I just want to pause
    and take it easy for a change.
[00:16] Roland
    If we keep moving south,
    we'll be in the Kingdom of Jusral.
[00:19] Francette
    That's true.
[00:20] Francette
    If we're heading for the
    royal capital Litenia,
[00:23] Francette
    we'll be there in about—
[00:24] Kaoru
    Hot spring!
[00:25] Emil/Belle
    Huh?
[00:26] Roland/Francette
    Huh?
[00:28] Kaoru
    Yeah! Let's head to a hot spring!
[00:30] Emil/Belle
    Hot spring? What's that?
[00:33] Kaoru
    Hot springs are spots where hot
    water comes up from underground,
[00:37] Kaoru
    and sitting in them is really
    good for your health!
[00:40] Kaoru
    They're great for beauty, too.
[00:42] Kaoru
    They make your skin so smooth and shiny.
[00:44] Francette/Belle
    Let's go!
[00:45] Kaoru
    You two jumped on board quick, huh?
[00:48] Reyette
    Let's go!
[00:50] Kaoru
    All right, that's a majority in favor.
[00:53] Kaoru
    We know where we're going!
[00:56] Roland
    D-Do we men get a say in this?
SIGN    I'm Going to Relax in a Hot Spring for a While!
[02:32] Stable Owner
    Hot springs? Yeah, we've got those.
[02:35] Stable Owner
    Don't go there too often, though.
[02:37] Stable Owner
    You gotta climb all the way up to the top,
[02:40] Stable Owner
    and there's no point when
     the return trip makes you sweaty.
[02:44] Kaoru
    I see.
[02:46] Roland
    Looks like it's pretty far.
[02:48] Roland
    We needn't go out of our way to—
[02:49] Kaoru
    Hang on just a bit, okay?
[02:51] Emil
    She has every intention of going.
[02:53] Kaoru
    All right, we're off!
[03:00] Stable Owner
    Watch out for the band of
    thieves on that mountain!
[03:07] Roland
    Kaoru, what is that thing?
[03:09] Kaoru
    A sensor that detects hot
    springs by reacting to sulfur.
[03:13] Kaoru
    I call it a Hot Spring Sensor!
SIGN    -shaped
    potion
     container
[03:17] Kaoru
    Oh, I think there's a hot spring just ahead!
[03:25] Kaoru
    There it is!
[03:33] Kaoru
    Ah, it's so rejuvenating.
[03:38] Kaoru
    This feels great!
[03:40] Francette
    I really am glad we came here.
[03:42] Francette
    But Kaoru...
[03:44] Francette
    Just what is that?
[03:46] Kaoru
    Where I come from,
[03:48] Kaoru
    the water in hot springs pours from a
    lion's mouth. It's just common sense!
[03:52] Kaoru
    Okay, that's a bit of a stretch, but...
[03:55] Kaoru
    Oh, well.
[03:57] Francette
    I-I see.
[04:03] Francette
    The water feels so gentle.
[04:05] Belle
    I wanna try!
[04:08] Belle
    It's shining up my skin!
[04:10] Kaoru
    I actually set it up so
    that a potion for beauty
[04:14] Kaoru
    and relaxation pours out
    from it a bit at a time.
[04:18] Kaoru
    And the next hot spring tradition is...
[04:20] Kaoru
    Girl talk!
[04:22] Kaoru
    We talk about relationships!
    Y'know, romance talk!
[04:26] Kaoru
    Well, Fran? How's it going with Roland?
[04:29] Francette
    What do you mean by, "How's it going?"
[04:32] Kaoru
    What do you two talk about when you're alone?
[04:35] Kaoru
    Like, about the future, or...
[04:37] Francette
    We only talk about how we can protect you.
[04:41] Kaoru
    Huh? Then how about... uh, I mean...
[04:45] Kaoru
    How far have you two gone?
[04:47] Francette
    How far?
[04:48] Francette
    We've been with you all the whole time,
[04:50] Francette
    so we went from Grua to
    Celinas, and then came here.
[04:56] Kaoru
    O-Okay, Belle, you're next!
[04:58] Kaoru
    Is it going well with you and Emil?
[05:00] Kaoru
    Ever do any lovey talk?
[05:02] Belle
    Lovey?
[05:04] Belle
    We do talk about Lolotte and Lucy,
[05:06] Belle
    but we didn't have any
    orphan friends named Lovey.
[05:12] Kaoru
    W-Well, last up is Reyette...
[05:15] Kaoru
    but you wouldn't have any
    romantic stories, huh?
[05:17] Reyette
    What about your romantic stories, Kaoru?
[05:22] Kaoru
    I'm sorry.
[05:23] Kaoru
    It was a mistake to bring up romance talk
[05:26] Kaoru
    when I've been single for as
    many years as I've been alive.
[05:29] Francette
    Whatever is the matter, Kaoru?
[05:31] Kaoru
    Oh, nothing. Let's just enjoy the bath.
[05:34] Belle
    It really does feel great!
[05:36] Roland
    They sure are taking it easy.
[05:38] Emil
    Indeed.
[05:39] Francette
    And rejuvenating.
[05:45] Roland
    Who's there?!
[05:46] Emil
    Show yourself!
[05:53] Kaoru
    What happened?
[05:55] Marco
    W-We're not bad guys!
[06:01] Marco
    We live in the village just ahead.
[06:04] Kaoru
    A village? This deep in the mountains?
[06:07] BoyA
    Yeah. It's our village that
    manages this hot spring.
[06:11] Kaoru
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[06:12] Kaoru
    We were the rude ones for
    just helping ourselves to it.
[06:15] BoyB
    Oh, it's no problem.
[06:18] BoyB
    You're welcome to use it all you'd like.
[06:20] Kaoru
    Really?
[06:21] BoyA
    Y-Yes.
[06:22] Kaoru
    We'll just relax a little longer, then.
[06:25] Kaoru
    Everyone knows that after a hot bath...
[06:28] Kaoru
    nothing beats some good fruit-flavored milk!
[06:32] Roland
    They're enjoying themselves.
[06:33] Emil
    They sure are.
[06:35] Francette
    This is very good!
[06:37] Reyette
    Yummy!
[06:38] Marco
    S-So... would you care to
    come visit our village?
[06:42] Kaoru
    Huh?
[06:43] BoyA
    It's just about two hours that way.
[06:47] BoyA
    It's small, but it's a nice village.
[06:49] BoyB
    Our cooking is delicious.
[06:52] BoyB
    We use fresh vegetables and
    yams, venison, and boar.
[06:55] Kaoru
    Ooh!
[06:57] Kaoru
    Okay, but...
[06:59] Kaoru
    Why are their eyes darting around like that?
[07:03] Roland
    Complete strangers so glibly
    inviting us to their village?
[07:08] Roland
    This is obviously suspicious.
[07:10] Francette
    There must be something behind it.
[07:12] Francette
    We shouldn't accept their invitation.
[07:14] Kaoru
    Well, sure! Let's go!
[07:16] Four
    What?!
[07:24] BoyA
    We'll go let the village chief know.
[07:26] Marco
    Yeah.
[07:30] Francette
    Kaoru, why did you agree to this?
[07:33] Francette
    It's obviously suspicious.
[07:35] Kaoru
    Yeah, but it kinda seems like fun.
[07:37] Kaoru
    Besides...
[07:39] Kaoru
    I'm not one to turn down a fight.
[07:42] Four
    Yeah, we know.
[07:44] Reyette
    We know!
[07:49] Chief
    Welcome to our village.
[07:52] Chief
    There isn't much here,
    but please make yourselves at home.
[07:55] VillagerA
    Right this way.
[07:57] VillagerB
    Come on in!
[07:58] Kaoru
    Okay, then.
[08:18] Chief
    Have a seat.
[08:20] Chief
    The food will be ready shortly.
[08:31] Kaoru
    Hmm... This looks like...
[08:36] Kaoru
    a countryside matchmaking party
    with no eligible bachelorettes!
[08:40] Three
    It's not!
[08:45] Reyette
    Thank you for the food.
[08:49] Kaoru
    There didn't seem to be any poison
    or sleeping drugs in the food.
[08:55] Kaoru
    I made sure I'd be ready to rustle
    up a healing potion at any time.
[09:00] Chief
    Now, let's have a chat about our village.
[09:06] Chief
    I know you lot only happened to stop by,
[09:09] Chief
    but right now, you're part of our village.
[09:12] Chief
    And as part of our village,
    you take part in our discussions
[09:15] Chief
    and go along with whatever
    consensus is reached.
[09:19] Chief
    Keep that in mind.
[09:21] Kaoru
    And now the truth comes out, huh?
[09:24] Chief
    Now, let's discuss what we should
    do about that band of thieves.
[09:30] Chief
    As you all know, the thieves
    have their eyes on our village.
[09:35] Chief
    So what shall we do about it?
[09:37] VillagerA
    Yes, if only we had some folks
    with knowledge of martial arts...
[09:41] VillagerB
    True. If we had someone who excelled with
    the sword, we could drive them away.
[09:47] VillagerC
    If anyone in this village
    had combat experience,
[09:50] VillagerC
    surely they'd protect us from the thieves.
[09:52] Kaoru
    Huh... So that's what this is about.
[10:04] BoyA
    Wait, please, lady knight!
    At least tell us your name!
[10:10] Francette
    I am the Einherjar of the goddess,
[10:13] Francette
    entrusted to be her guardian knight.
[10:15] Francette
    No more than that, really.
[10:20] Kaoru
    Oh, this is not good.
[10:22] VillagerA
    Chief, I think we've got 'em.
[10:24] Chief
    Indeed.
[10:26] Francette
    Just leave it to us! If
    that's all you need, we—
[10:29] Kaoru
    —will be praying for this village's safety.
[10:32] Kaoru
    Please look to the lord
    of your domain for help.
[10:36] Francette
    Huh?
[10:37] Chief/VillagerA
    H-Huh?!
[10:38] Villagers
    What?!
[10:40] Kaoru
    I won't let her say it.
[10:41] VillagerA
    Blast you, girl! No one
    asked you to butt in there!
[10:47] VillagerB
    Yeah! Stay out of this, kid!
[10:49] Villagers
    Yeah! That's right!
[10:52] Roland
    They've finally shown us who they really are.
[10:54] Francette
    I almost let my sense of
    justice get ahead of me.
[10:57] Francette
    These people only want to use us as a
    convenient shield to run the thieves off.
[11:03] Emil
    And they did it not by asking politely,
[11:06] Emil
    but by dragging us into it.
[11:08] Belle
    That's pretty cowardly.
[11:09] Belle
    And the moment we saw
    through them, they got defiant.
[11:14] Roland
    I don't like this. We're leaving.
[11:16] Kaoru
    I agree.
[11:17] Francette/Belle/Emil
    Yes.
[11:17] Reyette
    Yep!
[11:19] Chief
    What?!
[11:25] Chief
    W-Wait, please!
[11:27] Chief
    We're very sorry!
[11:30] Chief
    This village was built on land our
    ancestors worked hard to develop.
[11:36] Chief
    We're by no means affluent,
[11:38] Chief
    but we've done our best to eke out a living.
[11:41] Chief
    Then those thieves showed up.
[11:44] (Flashback) Thief Leader
    We'll guard your village.
[11:46] (Flashback) Thief Leader
    In return, you're gonna give
    us money, food, and women.
[11:52] Chief
    The demands they made
    were entirely one-sided.
[11:56] Chief
    If we accept, this village will
    become the thieves' feeding grounds,
[11:59] Chief
    and they'll leave nothing behind!
[12:01] VillagerA
    And if we refuse, they'll do that anyway.
[12:03] VillagerA
    Probably kill us all on the spot, too.
[12:05] Roland
    Haven't you told your lord about this?
[12:07] VillagerB
    Even if we did,
[12:09] VillagerB
    there's no way he'd send his army
    to help a tiny village like ours.
[12:14] Chief
    We really have no way out.
[12:18] Kaoru
    So you thought you'd do nothing yourselves,
[12:20] Kaoru
    but force us, total strangers,
    to fight the thieves for you?
[12:24] Chief
    W-Well...
[12:26] Chief
    We're just farmers who've never
    wielded anything but hoes and plows!
[12:31] Chief
    We could never hope to fight
    off all those thieves!
[12:35] Chief
    But...
[12:36] Chief
    We hoped that, if the goddess
    hasn't abandoned us,
[12:40] Chief
    perhaps people who excelled in the
    martial arts would pass by our village!
[12:45] Chief
    We've been clinging to that hope for so long.
[12:48] Chief
    And then all of you came along!
[12:50] Kaoru
    The goddess, huh?
[12:53] Kaoru
    But even if we do fight
    off the thieves this time,
[12:57] Kaoru
    that wouldn't solve the root
    of the problem, would it?
[13:01] Kaoru
    This deep in the mountains, other
    thieves could still target you.
[13:06] Kaoru
    How will you get through it next time,
     when we're no longer here?
[13:10] Kaoru
    Or the time after that,
    or the time after that?
[13:14] Kaoru
    Depending on others for everything
    while you take zero risks yourselves...
[13:17] Kaoru
    Hoping other people or gods
    will solve your problems...
[13:20] Kaoru
    Is that what your ancestors did, too?
[13:23] Chief
    N-No, they didn't!
[13:25] Chief
    Our ancestors faced great danger
    and risked their lives to...
[13:32] Chief
    You're absolutely right.
[13:34] Chief
    We were wrong.
[13:37] Chief
    How can we ever face our ancestors?
[13:42] Marco
    I'll fight!
[13:45] BoyA
    I don't know anything about how to fight,
[13:48] BoyA
    but I want to protect them.
[13:50] BoyA
    This village, and my mom and sisters!
[13:54] Marco
    So please, teach us how to fight!
[13:58] BoyA
    I'll fight, too!
[13:59] BoyB
    And me!
[14:02] Chief
    I will, too. Please help us!
[14:06] VillagerAB
    Please!
[14:13] Kaoru
    You guys should have just
    asked us that from the start
[14:17] Kaoru
    instead of trying to play silly tricks.
[14:19] Kaoru
    But understand that we'll
    only be helping you.
[14:23] Kaoru
    You're the ones who'll be doing the fighting.
[14:26] All
    Right!
[14:29] Kaoru
    Okay, our steamy all-girls hot
    spring trip is on hold for now.
[14:34] Kaoru
    It's been a while since we did a job
    as Goddess Light, so let's do it!
[14:38] Four
    Right!
[14:40] Boys
    One, two, three!
[14:42] Boys
    One, two, three!
[14:44] Francette
    Thieves are not necessarily
    skilled martial artists.
[14:48] Francette
    Plus, they'll probably have their
    guard down, thinking you won't resist.
[14:53] Francette
    You'll have an opening!
[14:54] Boys
    Right!
[15:02] Reyette
    Hup, hup...
[15:04] Reyette
    Kaoru, we brought water.
[15:07] Kaoru
    Thank you.
[15:12] Kaoru
    Paint this on the fences,
    the thorns, and the ground.
[15:19] VillagerA
    What is this stuff?
[15:21] Kaoru
    It's just a hardener.
[15:23] Kaoru
    I call it reincreted conforce,
    or "recon" for short.
[15:27] VillagerAB
    Uh-huh...
[15:29] Kaoru
    Oh, make sure you don't touch
    it with your bare hands.
[15:33] Kaoru
    'Cause there's a little
    bit of poison in it, too.
[15:41] Chief
    I had them gather all the
    wash basins in the village,
[15:43] Chief
    but we don't have as many as you asked for.
[15:46] Kaoru
    I see...
[15:48] Kaoru
    In that case...
[15:49] Kaoru
    Did you know that the goddess Celes
[15:52] Kaoru
    has tried all kinds of things
    to make her breasts bigger?
[15:56] Kaoru
    She's tried eating cabbage,
    eating soybeans...
[15:58] Kaoru
    It's just heartbreaking!
[16:03] Kaoru
    Whoa! Hey! Hup!
[16:05] Kaoru
    Will this be enough?
[16:22] Kaoru
    Okay!
[16:23] Kaoru
    Preparations to drive the
    thieves away are complete!
[16:30] VillagerC
    They're coming!
[16:32] VillagerC
    It's them! I'm sure of it!
[16:35] Kaoru
    To your designated positions, everyone!
[16:41] Leader
    We're gonna settle this
    once and for all today.
[16:43] Leader
    I'm tired of waiting.
[16:45] Leader
    Hey, Chief. You got our
    money, food, and women?
[16:50] Chief
    We'll be declining your offer.
[16:52] Leader
    What did you say?!
[16:53] Chief
    We cannot accept your demands.
[16:57] Chief
    Please turn back!
[16:59] Thief1
    Hah! Do you know what happens
    to people who defy us?
[17:04] Thief2
    You get to be the first to die, Chief!
[17:08] Thief2
    Screw your dumb fence!
[17:10] Thief2
    Huh?!
[17:13] Thief2
    Damn it!
[17:15] Thief2
    Ow!
[17:18] Thief2
    Ow, ow, ow...
[17:19] Thief2
    What the hell did you put on this?!
[17:22] Leader
    It's poison! Smash through,
    but watch for the thorns!
[17:25] Kaoru
    Ready the wash basins!
[17:31] Thief9
    We'll kill every damn one of you!
[17:46] VillagerB
    There ya go.
[17:48] Thief4/6
    Ow, ow, ow!
[17:53] Leader
    You bunch of...
[17:55] Leader
    You think this is funny?!
[17:57] Chief
    We will protect our women and
    children even if it costs us our lives!
[18:01] Leader
    We're gonna kill all of you!
[18:12] Marco
    You're the only one left!
[18:19] Chief
    Hold it!
[18:21] Chief
    Would you rather die along with
    that boy or peacefully surrender?
[18:26] Leader
    Hah! No matter how many of
    you come at me, I won't lose!
[18:31] Kaoru
    Fran!
[18:32] Francette
    It's about time!
[18:49] Leader
    I give up.
[18:50] Villagers
    Yeah! We did it!
[18:57] Kaoru
    Okay, I've healed those most gravely wounded.
[19:01] Kaoru
    Send a messenger to the city right away.
[19:03] Kaoru
    If you turn in the thieves, you
    should get a reward or something.
[19:07] VillagerA
    Right!
[19:08] Kaoru
    Oh, and have them escorted by specialists!
[19:12] Kaoru
    They're bound to be planning
    to escape or do something bad!
[19:17] Chief
    Thank you so much for all you've done.
[19:21] Chief
    I'm happy we were able to take
    the thieves alive, of course,
[19:26] Chief
    but even more than that, we all
    feel great joy and confidence
[19:31] Chief
    in knowing we protected
    our village ourselves.
[19:35] Chief
    We will never forget our debt to you.
[19:38] Kaoru
    Sure. You'll all have to do
    your best on your own now.
[19:42] Kaoru
    Be sure to take care of
    the traps and such, too.
[19:45] Kaoru
    I'll be watching you all warmly from afar.
[19:54] Kaoru
    Shall we hit up the hot spring one more
    time before we head down the mountain?
[19:58] Belle/Reyette
    I'm in!
[20:00] Marco
    Francette!
[20:02] Marco
    Francette, please teach me
    more of the martial arts!
[20:07] Marco
    I want to train more until
    I can handle a sword.
[20:11] Marco
    Then I'll be able to kill
    bad guys like them, right?
[20:15] Francette
    But then you won't be a farmer anymore.
[20:21] Francette
    You don't learn martial arts
    for the sake of killing people.
[20:25] Francette
    You learn it to better yourself
    and protect those you care about.
[20:32] Francette
    You all fought brilliantly,
    even without knowledge of martial arts.
[20:38] Francette
    That was possible because you all wished
[20:41] Francette
    to protect your village so much.
[20:45] Francette
    Whatever you do, never forget that feeling.
[20:48] Francette
    I know you will be a great, brave farmer.
[20:53] Marco
    Okay!
[20:55] Kaoru
    Boy, this is bliss.
[20:58] Kaoru
    It might not be so bad to stay
    here and take it easy for a while.
[21:02] Francette
    But we couldn't...
[21:05] Kaoru
    A good cleanse of body and mind
    takes me back to where I started.
[21:10] Kaoru
    Right! Let's open a potion shop next!
[21:13] Francette/Belle
    Huh?
[21:14] Kaoru
    If we're opening a shop,
    it should be in a big town.
[21:17] Kaoru
    I wonder what we should call it.
[21:22] Francette
    Who's there?!
[21:28] Francette
    Prince Roland?
[21:29] Belle
    Emil?!
[21:30] Kaoru
    What are you doing there?
[21:32] Roland
    I-It's not like that!
    There might still be thieves left!
[21:37] Roland
    We must guard you from a closer position!
[21:39] Roland
    That's what Emil said.
[21:41] Roland
    What?! You're blaming me?!
[21:42] Emil
    But you suggested it first!
[21:45] Roland
    No, it was simultaneous.
[21:47] Emil
    You said it an instant before I did!
[21:51] Kaoru
    Hmm...
[21:52] Kaoru
    So you decided to get close enough
    that you could peek if you wanted to?
[21:57] Roland/Emil
    No!
[21:59] Kaoru
    Guilty!
[22:00] Francette
    Guilty!
[22:01] Belle
    Guilty!
[22:01] Reyette
    Guilty!
