**[00:09] Cox**
Wh-What?
**[00:11] Shindou**
Wind!
**[00:18] Torii**
You really shouldn't underestimate heroes.
**[00:20] Toki**
Not that you did anything...
**[00:23] Hako**
Thanks, Iu-chan.
**[00:25] Shindou**
I'll lose some experience,
**[00:27] Shindou**
but I didn't have a choice.
**[00:29] Shindou**
I do wish I know what that voice was...
**[00:31] Shindou**
But for now, we need to save
Yotsuya-kun and Glen-san.
**[02:05] Glenda**
Was that a monster I just heard?
**[02:08] Yotsuya**
Probably. And a big one, too.
**[02:18] Soldier B**
Don't even try to run away.
**[02:20] Soldier A**
What was that noise earlier?
**[02:23] Soldier B**
Sounded like a monster roaring.
**[02:25] Soldier A**
We should report to the village chief.
**[02:27] Froc**
O-Ow...
**[02:29] Froc's Mom**
Are you all right, Froc?
**[02:31] Froc**
This is nothing.
**[02:33] Froc**
But... I have to save Jezby.
**[02:36] Froc's Mom**
Save her?
**[02:37] Froc's Mom**
But if you're chased out of
the village like Dan was...
**[02:40] Froc**
If that happens, I'll leave the village.
**[02:43] Froc**
Remember what Jezby said?
**[02:45] Froc**
My brother went looking for
a place called New Eden.
**[02:49] Froc's Mom**
Froc, you...
**[02:51] Froc**
When I go, I'll take you,
Jezby, and Lanan with me.
**[02:58] Shindou**
Is that the house?
**[03:00] Cox**
Y-Yes.
**[03:01] Hako**
But look there.
**[03:02] Toki**
Looks like a bunch of people
are flocking to it.
**[03:05] Shindou**
What's going on?
**[03:07] Villager A**
You heard that monster's roar!
**[03:09] Villager A**
We've never heard a roar that loud.
**[03:12] Villager B**
Give us the village chief!
**[03:14] Servant**
Chief Cox is away from home at the moment.
**[03:17] Villager C**
Hey, look!
**[03:19] Villager A**
The chief!
**[03:20] Villager B**
And aren't those heroes walking with him?
**[03:23] Villager C**
In this village?
**[03:24] Villager C**
Wait, why is the village chief
being held captive by heroes?
**[03:28] Cox**
A-All I did was carry out my
duty as the village chief
**[03:31] Cox**
by capturing Jezby, who broke our rules!
**[03:34] Villager B**
Jezby?
**[03:35] Villager A**
Chief Cox?
**[03:37] Villager A**
Oh, right! That little girl!
**[03:39] Villager B**
Bayne's little girl, Jezby!
**[03:41] Villager C**
The girl who fled the village alone!
**[03:44] Cox**
These people showed up here with Jezby!
**[03:48] Cox**
And when I attempted to capture
her, they did this to me!
**[03:52] Villager A**
Why would heroes do such a thing?
**[03:55] Cox**
They were obviously sent here by
outsiders to take Zagroth from us!
**[04:00] Torii**
Huh?
**[04:01] Toki**
It's impressive how he just spews
out one lie after another.
**[04:05] Froc**
Let Jezby go!
**[04:07] Jezby**
Froc?
**[04:14] Froc**
You said you'd forgive Jezby! You lied!
**[04:17] Cox**
Of course I did.
**[04:19] Cox**
I cannot allow anyone to break the rules
of this village, not even a child!
**[04:23] Cox**
Grab him!
**[04:25] Froc**
Stay away! What are you gonna do?!
**[04:27] Soldier A**
Quiet down!
**[04:29] Froc**
Why, you...
**[04:31] Soldier B**
Little punk!
**[04:34] Soldier B**
Settle down!
**[04:36] Jezby**
Stop!
**[04:37] Froc**
Outta my way!
**[04:38] Soldier B**
I said settle down!
**[04:40] Hako**
Um...
**[04:40] Shindou**
Wait!
**[04:42] Villager A**
I don't care why you people
came to this village,
**[04:46] Villager A**
Just leave quietly.
**[04:49] Froc's Mom**
Froc!
**[04:50] Froc**
Mom!
**[04:54] Froc's Mom**
How could you do this to a child?
**[04:56] Froc's Mom**
Aren't you a father yourself?
**[04:59] Froc's Mom**
Have you no shame?!
**[05:02] Froc**
It's no use.
**[05:03] Froc's Mom**
Froc?!
**[05:04] Froc**
Anyone who defies the chief
or does anything out of line
**[05:07] Froc**
will be sent on the Journey of Hope,
like my brother and Bayne.
**[05:13] Froc**
We all have no choice but to curry
favor with each other to survive.
**[05:17] Cox**
What does a mere child know?
**[05:19] Cox**
The reason Zagroth enjoys peace is—
**[05:25] Cox**
This mother and child sheltered Jezby!
**[05:28] Cox**
They bring disaster to the
village, just like Jezby!
**[05:31] Cox**
That monster's roar proves it!
**[05:33] Villager A**
Disaster?
**[05:36] Villager C**
But that can't be...
**[05:42] Cox**
If they aren't captured, disaster
will befall this village!
**[05:45] Villager C**
H-Hey!
**[05:47] Villager C**
You two, come with us!
**[05:50] Villager C**
You little...
**[05:51] Villager A**
It's no use resisting!
**[05:53] Froc**
Stop!
**[05:54] Froc**
Keep your hands off my mom!
**[06:01] Cox**
Those who disturb the village's
peace shall not be—
**[06:04] Hakozaki/Tokitate/Shindou**
Huh?!
**[06:07] Torii**
I'm gonna make all of you bastards pay!
**[06:12] Shindou**
Uh...
**[06:13] Hako**
Violence toward humans,
like hitting or kicking them, is...
**[06:17] Toki**
Oh, boy.
**[06:17] Villager C**
Help!
**[06:19] Soldier B**
The hero's gonna kill us!
**[06:20] Villager B**
Run!
**[06:21] Torii**
I said stop, damn it!
**[06:27] Torii**
If you don't set Yuusuke and Glen-san
free right now, I'll kill you.
**[06:33] Torii**
Don't you dare underestimate heroes!

**[06:39] Toki**
And that just wiped out all the experience
he gained in the limestone cave.
**[06:51] Shindou**
Who's this girl?
**[06:53] Cox**
Iris...
**[06:55] Iris**
How dare you hit my grandpa?
**[06:57] Iris**
He's the most important person here!
**[07:00] Hako**
His granddaughter?
**[07:03] Iris**
I tossed the key to the
dungeon down the old well.
**[07:05] Toki**
What?!
**[07:06] Shindou**
Where is this well?
**[07:08] Cox**
Behind my house.
**[07:10] Cox**
But the bottom of the well gave out
years ago, and it's all dried up.
**[07:15] Cox**
You'll never get the key back.
**[07:17] Hako**
Oh, no...
**[07:18] Iris**
You got what you deserved.
**[07:20] Torii**
This little brat...
**[07:22] Froc**
Jezby, are you okay?
**[07:24] Jezby**
Yeah. Thanks, Froc.
**[07:26] Froc**
Nah, I didn't do anything.
**[07:29] Jezby**
No, I'm just happy you
came to try to save me.
**[07:34] Froc**
M-Mom, where's Lanan?
**[07:36] Froc's Mom**
Oh, gosh! I ran out in such a hurry...
**[07:40] Froc**
Jezby, go back with my mom.
**[07:43] Jezby**
What about you?
**[07:45] Froc**
I'm going to see the heroes.
**[07:47] Froc**
The village chief might still
be plotting something.
**[07:51] Jezby**
Don't be too reckless.
**[07:53] Froc**
I won't.
**[07:57] Froc**
Again?
**[08:00] Froc**
Whoa! An earthquake?!
**[08:05] Froc**
Huh?
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 260 0 l 260 170 l 0 170
***SIGN***
***SIGN*** Creatures that attack any humans or players they
detect. This behavior takes priority over all other
actions for them. The more magical power they
have, the stronger and more aggressive they are.
There are many regular animal species (such as
horses) that are considered separate from
monsters.
**[08:17] Froc**
There's trouble!
**[08:20] Shindou**
A monster!
**[08:21] Hako**
We've never seen a monster
that big before...
**[08:25] Torii**
That's not all.
**[08:34] Torii**
There are a bunch of them.
**[08:36] Toki**
This is a lot more than we
can even hope to fight.
**[08:40] Cox**
Why?
**[08:41] Cox**
This is the end of my village...
**[08:44] Iris**
Can't you just have those guys kill them?
**[08:47] Iris**
They're heroes, aren't they?
**[08:48] Torii**
Look, shorty...
**[08:50] Iris**
I'm not "shorty"! I'm Iris!
**[08:52] Torii**
I'll call you whatever the hell I want!
**[08:54] Torii**
You're the one who threw away the key!
**[08:59] Iris**
The key is...
**[09:04] Toki**
What?!
**[09:08] Froc**
The monsters are already...
**[09:09] Hako**
"Already" what?
**[09:20] Toki**
Huh?
**[09:21] Torii**
Glen-san?
**[09:25] Shindou**
Yotsuya-kun!
**[09:26] Yotsuya**
Huh? Guys?
**[09:31] Yotsuya**
Chief, what's up with that dungeon?
**[09:36] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Since it's underground,
the walls are solid.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
And do these iron bars mean it's
supposed to be a dungeon?
**[09:43] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
But what's the point when
the ceiling is just wood?
**[09:45] (Flashback) Glenda**
I can hear sound coming from above.
**[09:47] (Flashback) Glenda**
Based on our location,
we're right below the reception hall.
**[09:51] (Flashback) Yotsuya**
Yeah.
**[09:56] Yotsuya**
So anyway, we made it out.
**[10:00] Yotsuya**
All these monsters are stronger
than they should be.
**[10:03] Yotsuya**
The situation is pretty dire.
**[10:06] Glenda**
Putting that giant one aside,
**[10:08] Glenda**
how did they climb up the cliffs outside?
**[10:15] Yotsuya**
Did they ride on that one's back?
**[10:17] Shindou**
But they're not the same species.
Does that even happen?
**[10:21] Glenda**
What should we do?
**[10:22] Yotsuya**
It looks like it'll take them less than
ten minutes to make it to the village.
**[10:27] Yotsuya**
* Did "destruction" refer to the*
* area this village is in?*
***SIGN*** Stop the destruction of the village of Zagroth.
***SIGN*** (Time limit: 30 days)
***SIGN*** Quest Time!
**[10:31] Yotsuya**
*Or did it refer to the people living here?*
**[10:35] Yotsuya**
* But in these circumstances,*
* there's only one choice.*
**[10:40] Yotsuya**
It's impossible for us to take out that
swarm of monsters as we are now.
**[10:44] Shindou**
Let's escape by the tunnel
we came in through.
**[10:47] Yotsuya**
No, the monsters are dropping down from
right above the entrance to that tunnel.
**[10:51] Yotsuya**
If we go there now,
we'll run right into them.
**[10:58] Froc**
I'll go tell the villagers!
**[11:00] Hako**
Froc-kun!
**[11:02] Froc**
I'll bring them here.
**[11:04] Froc**
I'm sure the heroes here will
do something about it!
**[11:06] Hako**
Huh?
**[11:07] Yotsuya**
What do we do?
**[11:09] Torii**
What choice do we have but to fight?
**[11:11] Toki**
Are you nuts? You could barely
survive a fight with a bat!
**[11:15] Torii**
Shut up, glasses!
**[11:16] Toki**
Glasses are a recognized attribute!
**[11:18] Torii**
Huh? Attri—
The hell are you talking about?
**[11:20] Iris**
They won't come loose!
**[11:23] Hako**
There might be an escape route...
**[11:31] Hako**
You said the bottom fell out of
this well and it dried up, right?
**[11:35] Cox**
Y-Yes. There was an earthquake,
and the water dried up.
**[11:39] Cox**
I ordered an investigation, but it was
too deep, so we just sealed it up.
**[11:43] Hako**
If the bottom fell out, it might
lead to that limestone cave.
**[11:48] Yotsuya**
That's definitely possible, but...
**[11:50] Shindou**
Even if we can escape underground
through this well...
**[11:54] Hako**
I'll go down first to test it.
**[11:56] Shindou**
How are you going to get down?
**[11:58] Hako**
I'll jump down.
**[11:59] Hako**
As a Heavy Warrior, I have
the strongest armor.
**[12:03] Torii**
Huh?
**[12:04] Toki**
Wait...
**[12:05] Hako**
I might die, but you guys will
be able to find my location.
**[12:09] Glenda**
But there might be muddy
water running below.
**[12:12] Glenda**
And not just that.
We don't know what's down there.
**[12:15] Hako**
If it doesn't work, we'll
just leave it alone.
**[12:18] Hako**
I think it's worth trying,
**[12:20] Hako**
even if we have to sacrifice one pawn.
**[12:22] Hako**
Right, Yotsuya-kun?
**[12:23] Yotsuya**
Huh? Uh... Y-Yeah, I guess.
**[12:27] Yotsuya**
* She's not wrong, but why'd*
* she say that to me?*
**[12:30] Hako**
I'm just going to do what I can.
**[12:38] Hako**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Reviving

**[12:42] Yotsuya**
She's moving again!
**[12:44] Yotsuya**
Looks like there's ground to stand on.
**[12:53] Hako**
One, two, three.
**[12:55] Torii**
This is...
**[12:57] Toki**
...really dangerous, isn't it?
**[12:59] Toki**
The little ones are already
reaching the village.
**[13:05] Shindou**
How much more should we cut?
**[13:07] Yotsuya**
Hakozaki-san counted to three
before she hit the bottom,
**[13:11] Yotsuya**
so if we assume it's 40 meters,
we just need enough for that much.
**[13:15] Yotsuya**
Help me tie these up, please.
**[13:17] Shindou**
Sure.
**[13:17] Glenda**
Okay.
**[13:19] Iris**
Cheer up, Grandpa.
**[13:22] Iris**
The heroes said they're gonna save us.
**[13:24] Cox**
If the village of Zagroth
is lost, I'll be...
**[13:27] Cox**
I'm sorry, Iris.
**[13:29] Yotsuya**
* So they closed off the village to minimize*
* the risk of it being destroyed,*
**[13:33] Yotsuya**
* and he ruled over that*
* tiny, closed-off world?*
**[13:37] Yotsuya**
*What scum.*
**[13:39] Iris**
Don't worry.
**[13:40] Iris**
Even if the village is lost, my grandpa
is the most important person here.
**[13:44] Yotsuya**
*He'll have no more authority.*
**[13:47] Villager**
Help!
**[13:49] Torii**
Here they come! Hurry!
**[13:52] Toki**
That's all?
**[14:15] Torii**
Are you serious?
**[14:17] Toki**
What about Jezby's group?!
**[14:21] Froc**
Jezby... Mom... Lanan...
**[14:28] Jezby**
Froc!
**[14:31] Froc**
Jezby! Lanan!
**[14:36] Froc**
Look out!
**[14:39] Froc**
Lanan, Jezby...
**[14:41] Froc**
I'm so glad you're safe.
**[14:43] Froc**
Where's my mom?
**[14:45] Jezby**
When we were running away...
She was protecting us...
**[14:53] Froc**
Damn it...
**[14:55] Froc**
Let's run to the chief's house!
**[15:07] Cox**
You can do it!
**[15:09] Cox**
Just take them one at a time,
and you'll be fine!
**[15:18] Froc**
Careful, Jezby.
**[15:20] Jezby**
Okay.
**[15:26] Torii**
What now?
**[15:27] Toki**
They're looking this way...
**[15:29] Torii**
Yeah...
**[15:30] Glenda**
You okay, Froc?
**[15:31] Froc**
Yeah. Lanan, come down one at a time.
**[15:35] Froc**
Go ahead.
**[15:37] Yotsuya**
Shindou-san and Glen-san,
you two go down first.
**[15:40] Yotsuya**
I'll go get the two guards.
**[15:47] Cox**
Iris!
**[15:52] Hako**
It's okay.
**[15:54] Hako**
You're okay now.
**[15:57] Iris**
Thank you...
**[16:00] Cox**
Iris! Are you hurt?
You're not hurt, are you?!
**[16:03] Iris**
No.
**[16:06] Cox**
F-Forgive me, Great Hero.
**[16:12] Cox**
What I did to you...
**[16:16] Hako**
More are still coming down, right?
Please help them.
**[16:19] Cox**
R-Right...
**[16:23] Yotsuya**
Get to the well, you two!
**[16:25] Yotsuya**
Hurry!
**[16:27] Torii**
They all started heading this
way at once! We're in trouble!
**[16:32] Toki**
The ladder!
**[16:35] Torii**
They're...
**[16:44] Toki**
No other choice now. We have to...
**[16:47] Torii**
...die, huh?
**[16:51] Torii**
Whoa, watch it! Don't pull
that! I'm gonna fall!
**[16:54] Toki**
Once the time came to do it, I got scared!
**[16:59] Yotsuya**
*These guys didn't just wander in here.*
**[17:04] Yotsuya**
* They're clearly trying*
* to destroy the village.*
**[17:07] Yotsuya**
*They're not like the orcs on Jiffon Island.*
**[17:12] Yotsuya**
* It's almost like someone's*
* controlling them...*
**[17:27] Yotsuya**
I'm back!
**[17:28] Iris**
They all really did come back to life!
**[17:30] Froc**
Heroes are amazing!
**[17:32] Torii**
I thought I was gonna die.
**[17:34] Toki**
Yeah, you *did* die.
**[17:36] Glenda**
We can't stay long.
We should keep moving.
**[17:39] Yotsuya**
You're right.
**[17:46] Yotsuya**
We made it out.
**[17:47] Glenda**
It took about six hours after
we came down the well.
**[17:50] Glenda**
I guess we should consider ourselves lucky.
**[17:53] Shindou**
We got out, but if we just keep this up...
**[17:55] Hako**
Yeah...
**[17:57] Torii**
So now we take all our
stuff and... do what?
**[18:00] Yotsuya**
They're not "stuff."
**[18:01] Yotsuya**
These people are important
for completing the quest.
**[18:05] Yotsuya**
Even if the monsters destroy the village,
**[18:07] Yotsuya**
the fact that we're still here
can mean only one thing.
**[18:11] Torii**
What does that mean?
**[18:12] Shindou**
You don't get it?
**[18:14] Shindou**
If they were all dead,
it'd be game over for us.
**[18:25] Froc**
Are you okay, Jezby?
**[18:26] Jezby**
Yeah. How about you, Lanan?
**[18:31] Iris**
I'm tired! I can't walk anymore!
**[18:34] Cox**
Iris, if we stay here,
**[18:37] Cox**
there's no telling when the
monsters will come after us.
**[18:40] Iris**
But my feet hurt, and I'm hungry!
**[18:45] Yotsuya**
If you don't want to die, perhaps you
wouldn't mind walking, please?
**[18:49] Iris**
No!
**[18:51] Yotsuya**
*This little...*
**[18:52] Torii**
Want me to carry you on my back, then?
**[18:55] Iris**
Really?
**[18:56] Torii**
Torii the Hero is great at piggyback rides.
**[18:59] Iris**
Yay!
**[19:00] Iris**
A piggyback ride from a hero!
**[19:02] Torii**
Man, you're so light, Iris.
**[19:05] Yotsuya**
*You were just calling her "stuff" earlier.*
**[19:09] Yotsuya**
He switches gears so quickly.
**[19:12] Hako**
It looks like we came out on the opposite
side from where we entered the village.
**[19:16] Glenda**
I guess maps don't do any good, then.
**[19:21] Yotsuya**
What is it?
**[19:25] Glenda**
That's...
**[19:27] Glenda**
not a game trail.
**[19:28] Glenda**
It looks like it was formed by people
walking back and forth a lot.
**[19:31] Hako**
But the person who led us here said there
were no towns or anything on this side.
**[19:37] Yotsuya**
Was it goblins?
**[19:39] Yotsuya**
If so, this area is dangerous, too.
**[19:42] Glenda**
Why don't we check it out, Yuusuke?
**[19:44] Yotsuya**
Just walking around blindly
certainly won't get us anywhere.
**[19:49] Yotsuya**
So on that note,
Glen-san and I will go investigate.
**[19:52] Torii**
Okay, I'll go, too.
**[19:53] Torii**
Wait here, okay?
**[19:55] Iris**
No!
**[19:56] Iris**
Torii the Hero has to stay with me!
**[19:59] Toki**
Nice to see that girls actually
like you this time.
**[20:01] Torii**
Lay off!
**[20:03] Yotsuya**
There's no guarantee the monster
won't attack here, too.
**[20:06] Yotsuya**
We'll just do a minimal investigation.
**[20:08] Glenda**
Take care of the rest.
**[20:14] Glenda**
There's actually a settlement here?
**[20:17] Yotsuya**
Is it a thieves' hideout?
**[20:19] Yotsuya**
But attacking anywhere from a remote place
like this wouldn't be very efficient.
**[20:25] Yotsuya**
It's hard to believe.
**[20:27] Yotsuya**
Glen-san?
**[20:28] Glenda**
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
**[20:32] Yotsuya**
A proverb?! This auto-translation
thing is amazing!
**[20:36] Yotsuya**
Looks like no one's around.
**[20:40] Yotsuya**
I guess we can use this place as a base.
**[20:44] Yotsuya**
Even better if there's
something we can eat...
**[20:48] Yotsuya**
Was that...
**[20:49] Glenda**
Yeah.
**[20:53] Shindou**
Huh? Bayne-san wasn't your real dad?
**[20:56] Jezby**
That's right.
**[20:57] Jezby**
He took me in when I was
orphaned as a small child.
**[21:01] Froc**
That was ages ago. He might
as well be your real dad.
**[21:05] Jezby**
Yeah. If he wasn't, he wouldn't
have left the village.
**[21:13] Froc**
Jezby...
**[21:25] Cox**
My village is gone.
**[21:26] Cox**
What am I to do now?
**[21:29] Torii**
What else? All you can do
is try the best you can.
**[21:32] Torii**
You've got Iris, after all, Grandpa.
**[21:36] Cox**
Yes... You're right.
