[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...

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!

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!

[12:45] 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.

[13:42] Song     Plow the fields, heave-ho [13:42] Old Man     The memory of the calamity that     struck this island 800 years ago...

[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!
