**[00:07] (Flashback) Gramps**
Say, Yuusuke...
**[00:10] (Flashback) Gramps**
Any interest in continuin' to
train here after the war's over?
**[00:15] (Flashback) Gramps**
With your talent, another five years...
**[00:18] (Flashback) Gramps**
nah, just two years, and you could
be the best blacksmith around.
**[00:25] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
I can't do that.
**[00:29] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
For me, smithing skills are
just a means to an end.
**[00:33] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Frankly, all that matters
to me is achieving my goal.
**[00:38] (Flashback) Gramps**
I see. That's a shame.
**[02:24] Shindou**
She really is here...
**[02:25] Shindou**
The queen!
**[02:31] Queen**
What do you want? I'm warming
up to go for a swim.
**[02:36] Queen**
You perverts.
**[02:44] Queen**
*Humans are such foolish creatures.*
**[02:49] Queen**
*You have far more intelligence than us orcs,*
**[02:53] Queen**
*yet you don't realize your own weakness,*
**[02:56] Queen**
*you forget about debts you owe...*
**[03:01] Queen**
*and you desire battle.*
**[03:06] Thanzammer**
This is for Ryce!
**[03:09] Thanzammer**
Our battle is for revenge!
**[03:11] Queen**
*You are barbaric and cruel.*
**[03:18] Queen**
Fine!
**[03:19] Queen**
I will destroy you all, just as you wish!
**[03:29] Shindou**
*Shit! She's...*
**[03:38] Queen**
Ouch!
**[03:39] Queen**
That hurt!
**[03:42] Shindou**
Well, then...
**[03:43] Shindou**
How do you like this?!
**[03:49] Shindou**
*Uh-oh!*
**[03:54] Shindou**
*Oh, right!*
**[03:55] Shindou**
*That's where...*
**[03:57] Cantil**
Orc Queen!
**[04:01] Cantil**
I challenge you.
**[04:12] Katz**
Damn it! He was protecting me!
**[04:16] Yotsuya**
Don't move.
**[04:22] Katz**
If only...
**[04:25] Katz**
If only I were stronger...
**[04:44] Katz**
Lolle...
**[04:48] Katz**
Two of them... showed up here.
**[04:52] Katz**
The three of us... managed
to take out one of them...
**[04:58] Yotsuya**
And the other one?
**[05:00] Katz**
It ran away, wounded,
**[05:02] Katz**
and Thanza-san went after it.
**[05:05] Yotsuya**
Do you know which way they went?
**[05:06] Katz**
No... I'm sorry.
**[05:09] Torii**
So what do we do now?
**[05:13] Yotsuya**
We can't scatter. It's too risky.
**[05:16] Yotsuya**
Let's all head to the
blacksmith's shop together.
**[05:21] Torii**
What?
**[05:23] Torii**
We can't use the bullets that Gramps made?
**[05:26] Hako**
In general, players can only use weapons
that are part of their own gear.
**[05:30] Hako**
Things Yotsuya-kun makes with his Blacksmith
skills are different, but these...
**[05:34] Toki**
Didn't we explain that to you?
**[05:36] Torii**
Oh, yeah, sorry. I forgot.
**[05:40] Yotsuya**
Master, will it be ready?
**[05:42] Gramps**
No, the furnace ain't done heatin' up yet.
**[05:46] Islander**
Hero.
**[05:48] Islander**
We gotta get the wounded
to the Väikedaam cave.
**[05:55] Toki**
Go.
**[05:57] Toki**
Leave things here to Majiha Blue,
the cool lady who never misses!
**[06:02] Yotsuya**
Oh, you changed jobs.
**[06:05] Toki**
Wait, you just noticed *now*?!
**[06:07] Hako**
We heroes can't use the
bullets that Gramps makes.
**[06:16] Hako**
But the people of the island can, right?
**[06:22] Toki**
If we just have the islanders
load the bullets,
**[06:25] Toki**
we can still fire the Orc Eater.
**[06:27] Toki**
It won't be a problem.
**[06:30] Hako**
Can someone...
**[06:34] Islander 2**
I'll stay.
**[06:38] Hako**
Thank you!
**[06:40] Islander 2**
Nah, you did cheer me on.
**[06:43] Islander 2**
And that rice ball was tasty...
**[06:51] Islander 3**
Yeah, they were delicious.
**[06:53] Islander 4**
She's the goddess of rice balls.
**[06:56] Islander 1**
Keep her safe!
**[06:57] Islanders**
Yeah, you'd better!
**[06:58] Islanders**
I know you can do it!
**[06:59] Hako**
Everyone...
**[07:00] Toki**
Fear the naturally-soothing types...
**[07:03] Torii**
All right! That settles it!
**[07:05] Torii**
You'll wait here,
**[07:07] Torii**
and the rest of you will head for
the Väikedaam cave with us!
**[07:10] All**
Right!
**[07:11] Torii**
Hey, that was pretty smooth, right?
**[07:13] Yotsuya**
Huh?
**[07:14] Torii**
Man, if only Iu were here,
that totally would've won her over!
**[07:20] Yotsuya**
*He's an idiot. A huge idiot.*
**[07:31] Queen**
You challenge me, then you
have the nerve to run away?
**[07:35] Queen**
And you call yourself a warrior?
**[07:39] Queen**
Fine. I'll play with you.
**[07:43] Cantil**
Just as we planned.
**[07:50] Yana**
You're awake?
**[07:52] Katz**
What is this place?
**[07:53] Yana**
The island's sacred ground,
the Väikedaam cave.
**[07:56] Yana**
There's no danger here. You can relax.
**[08:07] Katz**
Where are Yotsuya-san and the others?!
**[08:08] Yana**
Ya shouldn't be gettin' up yet.
**[08:11] Yana**
They headed out already...
**[08:16] Yana**
to Kumamo Castle.
**[08:25] Yotsuya**
* There are probably only a few*
* orcs left in the castle.*
**[08:28] Yotsuya**
*Can we take them with our numbers?*
**[08:30] Torii**
Let's do this, boys!
**[08:33] Yotsuya**
Huh?
**[08:36] Yotsuya**
Hey, wait a—
**[08:39] Torii**
All of you! Follow me!
**[08:42] Torii**
We're gonna beat those orcs!
**[08:50] Thanzammer**
He's...
**[09:15] Shindou**
Wind!
**[09:19] Queen**
There!
**[09:22] Shindou**
*She fell for it!*
**[09:24] Queen**
Where are you? Stop sneaking around!
**[09:26] Shindou**
Now!
**[09:30] Cantil**
Why now?
**[09:32] Hako**
An earthquake?
**[09:37] Thanzammer**
No... It's...
**[09:41] Yana**
The island god...
**[09:43] Aoiu**
...is angry.
**[09:47] Torii**
Whoa, this is huge!
**[09:49] Torii**
Really huge! Super huge!
**[09:52] Yotsuya**
It can't be...

***SIGN***
***SIGN*** An island located between the continents of Meri and
Illa, about seven days' travel from the international
harbor of Radodorbo by boat. Because of its frequent
earthquakes and periodic volcanic eruptions, it is also
known as "Disaster Island." The Jiffon people came to
the island 900 years ago while fleeing slavery, hoping
to find a paradise free of fighting.
**[10:10] Islander 2**
Sorry... Of all the times...
**[10:13] Hako**
Don't be sorry.
**[10:19] Gramps**
How could this be?
**[10:40] Thanzammer**
Seems like the shaking's stopped.
**[10:43] Thanzammer**
But what really scares me is...
**[10:49] Yana**
Quickly, get outside! Hurry!
**[10:58] Yotsuya**
Aoiu-san!
**[10:59] Yana**
Don't, Aoiu! The ceiling's gonna...
**[11:02] Aoiu**
There are still wounded in here!
**[11:10] Yana**
Aoiu!
**[11:13] Yana**
Aoiu! Aoiu!
**[11:15] Islander 3**
Yana-chan, it's too dangerous!
**[11:16] Islander 3**
If you get too close now—
**[11:22] Islander 5**
Volcanic bombs!
**[11:29] Yotsuya**
Keep your heads down and keep moving!

**[11:40] Torii**
Sorry, Yuusuke. Can you help me out?
**[11:47] Torii**
Huh? Hey... Carry me a little
more carefully, will you?
**[11:55] Shindou**
*It's erupting?*
**[11:57] Shindou**
*And that earthquake was really big...*
**[12:03] Shindou**
*Wait...*
**[12:08] Cantil**
Iu!
**[12:13] Cantil**
Iu!
***SIGN*** Dead
***SIGN*** Reviving in
***SIGN*** Shindou Iu
**[12:21] Shindou**
Shit, shit! I got distracted!
**[12:23] Shindou**
Oh, damn it! I can't revive
if I'm stuck in the ocean!
**[12:32] Shindou**
The water is receding...
**[12:37] Cantil**
What?
**[12:41] Queen**
Did the sea floor collapse
in all that shaking?
**[12:45] Shindou**
No!
**[12:46] Queen**
Well, no matter. Let us continue.
**[12:49] Cantil**
Indeed.
**[12:50] Shindou**
She's wrong! You have to run, Cantil-san!
**[12:53] Shindou**
This isn't just low tide!
**[12:55] Shindou**
It's...
**[12:58] Shindou**
a tsunami warning sign!
**[13:07] Old Man**
It's coming. One of those... is coming.
**[13:11] Katz**
One of... what?
**[13:13] Old Man**
The White Wall.
**[13:14] Katz**
White Wall?
**[13:20] Katz**
What is that?
**[13:24] Song**
*Hear our song of rituals and miso*
**[13:29] Katz**
Yana-san?
**[13:32] Song**
*Dumplings of music from the eastern isle*
**[13:35] Old Man**
Oh... Of course.
**[13:37] Song**
*The earth shakes, my feelings burst*
**[13:37] Old Man**
This song...
**[13:42] Song**
*Plow the fields, heave-ho*
**[13:42] Old Man**
The memory of the calamity that
struck this island 800 years ago...
**[13:50] Song**
*The white wall strikes the withered shore*
**[13:55] Song**
* The mountain god blasts a*
* pillar of red in his fury*
**[14:00] Song**
* The sea god will devour*
* you along with the shore*
**[14:06] Song**
*Climb, climb, to the top of the mountain*
**[14:10] Song**
*When the white wall turns black*
**[14:16] Song**
* It will feast on all,*
* starting with the lowest*
**[14:16] Katz**
It's swallowing the whole island...
**[14:21] Song**
*The blood of the earth pours down like rain*
**[14:22] Wife**
Darling!
**[14:25] Husband**
You have to live!
**[14:28] Wife**
Darling!
**[14:29] Song**
* The man remaining in the*
* valley returns to the earth*
**[14:40] Song**
*Hear our song of rituals and miso*
**[14:45] Song**
*Dumplings of music from the eastern isle*
**[14:50] Song**
*The earth flows, my feelings burst*
**[14:55] Song**
*Plow the fields, heave-ho*
**[14:59] Aoiu**
Finally made it...
**[15:01] Yana**
* The blessings of the earth will*
* become my flesh and blood*
**[15:06] Yana**
*And I will devour you*
**[15:11] Yana**
*On this island inhabited by the gods*
**[15:16] Yana**
*We offer this song to you*
**[15:28] Aoiu**
I remembered that there was a secret
passage under the Väikedaam cave.
**[15:32] Aoiu**
Thanks to the mine carts in
there, I got everyone out.
**[15:36] Torii**
I'm glad you're okay.
**[15:38] Aoiu**
What part of the castle is this?
**[15:40] Yotsuya**
The east side of the castle,
on the first floor.
**[15:42] Aoiu**
Where are the orcs?
**[15:43] Yotsuya**
Probably on the next floor up.
**[15:45] Islander**
Aoiu! We've got trouble!
**[15:51] Refugee 1**
The White Wall swept away all the
houses and fields along the shore.
**[15:57] Refugee 2**
It's the gods' punishment!
**[15:59] Refugee 2**
The gods are outraged 'cause we thought
we could defeat the orcs on our own!
**[16:05] Refugee 3**
We're done for.
**[16:07] Refugee 3**
Whether we beat the orcs
or not, we'll never...
**[16:10] Torii**
Whoa, hang on! How can you say
that after we've come this far?
**[16:20] Aoiu**
What are you doin'?
**[16:21] Yotsuya**
I guess this isn't nearly
enough force to budge it.
**[16:25] Yotsuya**
Aoiu-san, the Väikedaam are also
the island's historians, right?
**[16:29] Aoiu**
Yeah, that's right.
**[16:32] Aoiu**
We're also the storytellers who
pass down the island's history.
**[16:36] Yotsuya**
Then do you know where this
castle's weakness is?
**[16:39] Aoiu**
Weakness?
**[16:41] Yotsuya**
Like a weak point in its construction.
**[16:44] Yotsuya**
The kind that, if broken,
**[16:47] Yotsuya**
could bring down the whole castle at once.
**[16:49] Aoiu**
Wh-What are you sayin'?
**[16:52] Yotsuya**
We'll bring down the whole castle
to kill all the orcs inside.
**[16:59] Yotsuya**
I tried to think of other ways to
use this eruption for an attack,
**[17:04] Yotsuya**
but our enemies are on the second floor.
**[17:06] Yotsuya**
The volcanic bombs won't reach them,
**[17:08] Yotsuya**
and to reroute lava to flow into the
castle, we'd need to dig trenches.
**[17:13] Yotsuya**
As it stands right now,
that won't be possible.
**[17:18] Torii**
One insane idea after another...
Are you a demon lord now?
**[17:22] Yotsuya**
So the optimal choice right now is to
destroy the castle along with the—
**[17:26] Aoiu**
We can't do that!
**[17:28] Aoiu**
This castle is the symbol of the island!
**[17:30] Yotsuya**
But you don't use it anymore, right?
**[17:32] Yotsuya**
So...
**[17:33] Aoiu**
It can't be destroyed, anyway!
**[17:35] Aoiu**
It was built 400 years ago!
**[17:37] Aoiu**
We've had tons of earthquakes
and eruptions in that time,
**[17:40] Aoiu**
and yet it still stands!
**[17:42] Aoiu**
Our ancestors poured all their wisdom and
ingenuity into buildin' this castle!
**[17:46] Aoiu**
It doesn't have any weaknesses!
**[17:49] Yotsuya**
I see. Okay.
**[17:50] Aoiu**
Huh?
**[17:52] Yotsuya**
Then I'll try to find a spot where
we can fight with an advantage.
**[17:58] Torii**
He's like a machine, isn't he?
**[18:02] Torii**
A machine that only does what's
necessary to achieve its goal.
**[18:05] Torii**
Seriously, what pleasure does
he even get out of life?
**[18:08] Torii**
He's gotta be a virgin.
**[18:15] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
For me, smithing skills are
just a means to an end.
**[18:19] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Frankly, all that matters
to me is achieving my goal.
**[18:24] Aoiu**
How...
**[18:28] Aoiu**
How can you keep goin' on just
for the sake of your goal?
**[18:33] Aoiu**
Even when it means sacrificin' yourself?!
**[18:36] Yotsuya**
You just need to know your own limits.
**[18:39] Yotsuya**
If you have a clear goal, what's the
problem with just taking action?
**[18:44] Yotsuya**
There's no meaning in the process,
**[18:46] Yotsuya**
if you're only working for
the sake of your goal.
**[18:50] Yostuya**
If you realize that you're all but
powerless to achieve your goal,
**[18:56] Yotsuya**
you'll know right away that you
can't afford to stand still.
**[18:59] Torii**
See? Nothing he says makes
any damn sense, right?
**[19:04] Aoiu**
It really doesn't make sense.
**[19:07] Aoiu**
But there's one thing...
**[19:09] Aoiu**
Just one thing I understand clearly now.
**[19:13] Aoiu**
We don't have time to stand
still and do nothing.
**[19:27] Yana**
It's been said since old times on this island
that you should never build on low ground.
**[19:34] Yana**
But we started buildin' houses along the
shore 'cause there wasn't much land.
**[19:40] Yana**
We thought more people,
more fields, and more wealth
**[19:44] Yana**
meant the island was prosperous.
**[19:47] Yana**
We let our immediate greed get
the better of us and forgot.
**[19:52] Yana**
So pathetic...
**[19:54] Yana**
No paradise is achieved without hard work.
**[19:57] Yana**
The island's history, its wisdom, its pride...
**[20:01] Yana**
As the island's storytellers, we Väikedaam
should've communicated that better...
**[20:08] Aoiu**
It's true. We were wrong.
**[20:11] Aoiu**
We neglected the legends that have
been handed down for generations,
**[20:14] Aoiu**
and we lost our homes and our fields.
**[20:18] Aoiu**
But...
**[20:20] Aoiu**
If our homes are destroyed,
**[20:21] Aoiu**
we just need to build sturdier ones.
**[20:24] Aoiu**
If our fields are washed away,
**[20:26] Aoiu**
we just need to make the
next ones higher up.
**[20:29] Aoiu**
We people of Jiffon have always worked
**[20:32] Aoiu**
to refine our knowledge and
skills for that very purpose!
**[20:34] Yana**
Even if there ain't much land or resources,
**[20:37] Yana**
our ancestors made up for it with
diligence and technical prowess!
**[20:43] Yana**
Rather than fightin' wars to
take other people's stuff,
**[20:47] Yana**
they turned this island into a peaceful
paradise through their own hard work!
**[20:51] Aoiu**
And as they learned to live
better, little by little...
**[20:56] Aoiu**
As they took steps forward and backward...
**[20:59] Aoiu**
Little by little, the people
of Jiffon made progress!
**[21:03] Aoiu**
The people of this island!
**[21:11] Aoiu**
Next time, we won't forget!
**[21:14] Yana**
We absolutely must not forget!
**[21:18] Yana**
We people of Jiffon...
**[21:20] Aoiu**
...ain't gonna lose to no disasters!
