[00:06] Cayna
    Wow, that's a lovely windmill.
[00:09] Elineh
    The royal capital of Helshper is
    also known as the Windmill City.
[00:13] Elineh
    That windmill gathers up water
[00:15] Elineh
    and distributes it all throughout the city.
[00:18] Cayna
    Wow, they have a waterline.
[00:20] Cayna
    But that castle...
[00:24] Cayna
    We've got some East-meets-West
     acculturation here, huh?
[00:26] Cayna
    Exactly what world am I in, and what era?
[00:30] Elineh
    Acculturation... What a bizarre word.
[00:34] Cayna
    Er, it's a word you use to express
    the mixing of two different cultures...
[00:39] Cayna
    Or something like that?
[00:41] Elineh
    Ah. Acculturation, eh?
[00:45] Elineh
    Indeed, I think that's a perfect word for this.
[00:48] Cayna
    Wow, he just went with it.
[00:50] Elineh
    Oh, right. I was taking you to Sakaiya.
[00:54] Elineh
    Right this way.
[00:58] Elineh
    But to think that you were
    acquainted with Sir Caerick.
[01:04] Cayna
    I'm not, though. I'm just delivering a letter.
[01:10] Elineh
    Are you familiar with Sakaiya, Lady Cayna?
[01:12] Cayna
    No, not at all.
[01:14] Elineh
    I believe you're the first person
    I've met who's not familiar with it.
[01:18] Cayna
    It's that famous?
[01:21] Elineh
    Famous? It's the biggest
    merchant business in the land.
[01:25] Elineh
    From a single grain of
    wheat to magical items...
[01:27] Elineh
    And even the hiring of
    bodyguards and sentries.
[01:30] Elineh
    Sakaiya is a famous shop
    where you can obtain everything
[01:33] Elineh
    you could possibly need.
[01:34] Cayna
    So it's like a general trading company.
[01:38] Elineh
    We rely on them quite often for trade.
[01:42] Cayna
    Oh, I see.
[01:49] Elineh
    This is Sakaiya.
[01:51] Cayna
    Well, this is a grand building.
[01:53] Cayna
    But...
[01:55] Cayna
    A roof with kawara tiles...
[01:56] Cayna
    This is the most chaotic East-meets-West
    acculturation I've ever seen.
[01:59] Idzik
    Oh, Sir Elineh.
[02:02] Idzik
    Welcome.
[02:04] Elineh
    Good day, Young Master.
    It's always a pleasure.
[02:09] Elineh
    Is the master in?
[02:11] Elineh
    We have a letter for him from Felskeilo.
[02:15] Idzik
    A letter?
[02:17] Idzik
    Would it be all right if I took a look at it?
[02:19] Elineh
    Of course.
[02:20] Cayna
    Here you go.
[02:21] Idzik
    Pardon me.
[02:28] Idzik
    I-If you'll excuse me for a moment!

[04:13] Caerick
    It's been too long, Sir Elineh.
[04:16] Elineh
    It's a pleasure to see
    you again, Sir Caerick.
[04:20] Caerick
    I hear you're still the master of
    charm and making a fortune.
[04:24] Elineh
    You're too kind.
[04:27] Cayna
    Oh, hel...lo?
[04:31] Elineh
    Sir Caerick is bowing his head
    to someone who isn't royalty?!
[04:35] Caerick
    It is a pleasure to meet you, Grandmother.
[04:38] Cayna and Elineh
    Grandmother?!
[04:40] Caerick
    Yes. I am the son of your daughter, Mai-Mai.
     My name is Caerick Sakai.
[04:46] Cayna
    Mai-Mai's son?
[04:48] Caerick
    Mother has always told me
    many great things about you.
[04:51] Caerick
    I am truly honored to meet such
    a treasured guardian as yourself.
[05:00] Caerick
    Ah, Grandmother. You must be
    exhausted from your long journey.
[05:04] Caerick
    We will prepare you the most luxurious room,
    one no shabby inn could ever hope to match.
[05:10] Caerick
    Please rest here for now.
SIGN    Sakai
[05:13] Cayna
    Nah... I'm good. Really.
[05:17] Cayna
    I've just been hit with
    a rather shocking truth.
[05:20] Cayna
    Mai-Mai is going to pay.
[05:29] Caerick
    G-Grandmother?
[05:31] Cayna
    Besides, shabby little inns
[05:34] Cayna
    are wonderful places for
    delicious meals and camaraderie,
[05:38] Cayna
    and I'm rather fond of them.
[05:40] Cayna
    I feel like I can relax better there
    than in some stuffy, luxurious room.
[05:44] Cayna
    So please, pay no mind.
[05:47] Caerick
    D-Did I offend you in some way?
[05:52] Cayna
    Oh, no. Not in the least.
[05:54] Cayna
    Well, I guess we're done here. Bye now.
[05:58] Elineh
    L-Lady Cayna! If you'll
    excuse me, Sir Caerick.
SIGN    Sakai
[06:02] Elineh
    Please wait, Lady Cayna!
SIGN    Sakai
[06:05] Elineh
    We have returned.
[06:07] Cayna
    We're back.
[06:09] Arbiter
    Hey, welcome back, Elineh, missy.
[06:12] Kenison
    Welcome back!
[06:16] Arbiter
    They're with Helshper's knights.
[06:18] Arbiter
    They had a few questions about the bandits
    we ran into on the eastern border.
[06:23] Elineh
    Ah, I see.
[06:24] Kenison
    We just finished our explanation.
[06:27] Arbiter
    We're handing over the staff that the
    bandits had to them. You don't mind, do you?
[06:32] Elineh
    Of course. That's perfectly fine.
[06:34] Arbiter
    In that case...
[06:35] Arbiter
    We can probably wrap
    things up here, can't we?
[06:38] Caerina
    Yes, thank you.
[06:40] Caerina
    Could you wait outside for a while?
[06:42] Knights
    Yes, ma'am!
[06:51] Cayna
    What?
[06:52] Caerina
    Allow me to apologize on behalf of
    my younger brother for offending you.
[06:58] Caerina
    I am terribly sorry, Grandmother.
[07:03] Cayna
    Huh?
[07:04] Arbiter and Kenison
    "Grandmother"?!
[07:05] Elineh
    W-Wait, are you...
[07:08] Caerina
    I am Caerick's older twin
    sister, Caerina Sakai.
[07:13] Cayna
    Oh, I guess you do look like that fool.
[07:17] Caerina
    If that's how you're referring to him,
    he must have offended you greatly.
[07:23] Elineh
    I'm surprised you already know of
    this considering it just happened.
[07:27] Caerina
    We have the ability to speak to each
    other even if we are not face to face.
[07:33] Cayna
    Must be Special Skill: Telepathy.
[07:35] Caerina
    You are amazing, Grandmother.
    I am very sorry about my brother.
[07:41] Cayna
    You don't have to keep apologizing.
[07:44] Cayna
    I was being kind of immature myself.
[07:47] Caerina
    I am relieved to hear you say that.
    Our mother always spoke about you,
[07:53] Caerina
    so my brother was quite nervous.
[07:55] Cayna
    She told you about me?
    What would she even say?
[07:58] Caerina
    If anyone ever made you angry,
    ever if they were family,
[08:01] Caerina
    you would tear them limb from limb.
[08:04] Cayna
    I'd never do that!
[08:06] Arbiter
    I gotta say, missy, tearing your own
    family limb from limb is a bit harsh.
[08:10] Elineh
    Y-You were that cruel?
[08:13] Cayna
    I was not!
[08:15] Cayna
    Are you saying I look like
    some heartless serial killer?
[08:18] Kenison
    Ice flowers...
[08:21] Kenison
    I-I mean...
[08:22] Kenison
    The ice sculpture you made outta
    that bandit looked amazing... right?
[08:26] Kenison
    That was a compliment!
[08:28] Cayna
    That was absolutely not a compliment!
[08:29] Arbiter
    Er, it really was pretty!
[08:31] Elineh
    I-It sure was!
[08:33] Kenison
    It was! It really was!
[08:35] Cayna
    Why do you all have to react like that?!
[08:40] Cayna
    You know what this is?
[08:41] Cayna
    This is where I can get angry, isn't it?
[08:47] Elineh
    L-Lady Cayna...
[08:48] Arbiter
    W-Wait! Calm down, missy!
[08:51] Arbiter
    Just put that gently onto the ground...
[08:53] Kenison
    Where'd that giant snowball come from?
[08:56] Cayna
    Enough talk! Fire!
[09:07] Caerina
    What did I do?
[09:08] Kenison
    I-It's so pretty...
[09:17] Mai-Mai
    All I wanted was for my children
    to have a touching first encounter
[09:23] Mai-Mai
    with their grandmother.
[09:25] Skargo
    So Caerina sent a telepathic message
    saying, "Caerick made Grandmother angry.
[09:31] Skargo
    We almost died. What shall we do?"
[09:37] Skargo
    I see...
[09:39] Skargo
    As much as I'd like to protect them,
[09:40] Skargo
    if I do that, Mother Dearest's
    rage will be directed toward me.
[09:49] Skargo
    That's what you get for trying
    to surprise Mother Dearest.
[09:55] Skargo
    But when Mother Dearest returns,
    I'll apologize with you,
[10:00] Skargo
    so cheer up.
[10:02] Mai-Mai
    Thank you, Brother.
[10:04] Skargo
    She's being meek and honest for once.
[10:07] Skargo
    I guess even Mai-Mai can be cute at times.
[10:10] Mai-Mai
    I guess he can be a little kind at times.
[10:17] Caerina
    You put me through hell.
[10:18] Caerick
    I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!
    I'm so sorry! I'm so sorr—
[10:23] Caerina
    You made her lose her marbles.
[10:24] Caerick
    I've still got my balls, though!
[10:30] Cayna
    They're all just quests from merchants.
[10:33] Cayna
    And most of them are quests
    to get rid of bandits, huh?
[10:38] Cayna
    Um, excuse me...
[10:41] Exis
    What is it, missy?
[10:43] Exis
    Er, you know, you're awfully
    small for an adventurer.
[10:47] Quolkeh
    Anyone would be from your perspective.
[10:51] Quolkeh
    I haven't seen you around here before.
     Are you a new adventurer?
[10:55] Cayna
    No, I came from Felskeilo.
[10:57] Quolkeh
    So what brings you here?
[11:00] Cayna
    I heard there was a castle in the middle
    of a lake. Do you know where that is?
[11:07] Exis
    You must be talking about
    Crescent Moon Castle.
[11:10] Exis
    It's right here.
[11:12] Exis
    Right now, it's said to have fallen into
    the hands of bandits, so it's off-limits.
[11:17] Cayna
    Why is it called the Crescent Moon Castle?
[11:20] Exis
    It's said that on a night with a crescent moon,
     the whole place starts sparkling.
[11:24] Cayna
    Wow!
[11:25] Exis
    Rumors say it has an ancient treasure room,
[11:28] Exis
    but according to some old geezers,
    it's called the Hall of the Guardian,
[11:32] Exis
    and is feared by many.
[11:34] Cayna
    The Hall of the Guardian?
    I might have a bingo.
[11:37] Cayna
    Thank you very much. You were a great help.
[11:40] Quolkeh
    Don't worry about it. You can
    get this information anywhere.
[11:46] Cayna
    Uh, can I help you?
[11:48] Exis
    Er, I was just—
[11:51] Quolkeh
    Ignore him. He has a terrible
    habit of starting at girls.
[11:58] Cayna
    Oh, I see. Well, if you'll excuse me.
[12:03] Quolkeh
    She's definitely suspicious.
[12:05] Exis
    I'm pretty sure I've seen her before.
[12:09] Quolkeh
    You need to work on your pick-up lines.
    Of course she's hot if she's an elf.
[12:15] Exis
    I'm not hitting on her. I've really
     seen her somewhere before.
[12:18] Quolkeh
    You always try to hit on elves.
[12:22] Exis
    You're not concealing yourself very well.
[12:24] Quolkeh
    Oh. Whoopsie!
[12:27] Quolkeh
    I'm a chick, I'm a chick,
    I'm a chick, I'm a chick...
SIGN    I'm a chick, I'm a chick, I'm a chick, I'm a chick...
SIGN    I'm a chick, I'm a chick, I'm a chick, I'm a chick...
[12:29] Exis
    Where have I seen her before?
[12:31] Cayna
    What should I do? I'd like some
    more concrete information.
[12:36] Cayna
    All the quests to take care of
    the bandits were from merchants,
[12:40] Cayna
    so maybe Caerick would know more.
[12:42] Kee
    Are you sure about this?
    He was quite terrified.
[12:46] Cayna
    Really, I realize I was being immature.
[12:50] Cayna
    Oh, fine. I guess I'll
    try to make up with him.
[13:01] Cayna
    So... Yeah, I, uh...
[13:05] Cayna
    I'm sorry.
[13:06] Caerick
    I'm gonna be torn limb from limb!
[13:09] Caerick
    Huh?
[13:10] Cayna
    Torn limb from limb?
    I'm assuming Mai-Mai told you that.
[13:14] Cayna
    It was her, wasn't it?
[13:15] Caerick
    Y-Yes...
[13:17] Cayna
    What am I going to do with
    that stupid daughter of mine?
[13:20] Cayna
    Oh, right, Caerick.
[13:22] Caerick
    Yesh?!
[13:24] Cayna
    Could you send Mai-Mai a message
    for me with your telepathy?
[13:27] Caerick
    Y-Y-Y-Yes! Wh-What would
    you like me to tell her?
[13:32] Cayna
    "Would you prefer the iron maiden,
     guillotine, crucifixion,
[13:36] Cayna
    being buried or burnt alive,
[13:38] Cayna
    being ripped apart by bulls, kneeling
    on triangles, or the pear of anguish?"
[13:43] Cayna
    Thanks.
[13:44] Caerick
    O-Of course. I will send that to her.
[13:51] Caerick
    I am terribly sorry for my rudeness
    when it is my duty as a merchant to
[13:55] Caerick
    provide the masses with wares, Grandmother.
[13:59] Cayna
    You don't need to apologize anymore.
[14:01] Cayna
    You just wanted me to be comfortable,
    and I acted immaturely.
[14:06] Cayna
    By the way...
[14:07] Caerick
    Yes?
[14:08] Cayna
    I wanted to ask about the Crescent Moon
    Castle that's somewhere around here.
[14:13] Caerick
    What did you want to know?
[14:14] Cayna
    I'm pretty sure it's a Guardian Tower.
[14:17] Caerick
    What?!
[14:19] Caerick
    But the Guardian Towers are thirteen
    bases bestowed to us by the gods!
[14:25] Caerick
    It's a holy tower that holds treasures
    the likes of which we've never seen,
[14:28] Caerick
    and can only entered by the chosen few!
[14:30] Cayna
    Yeah, though that's a bit overboard.
[14:33] Cayna
    I figured I'd wake up the guardian inside
[14:35] Cayna
    before it's destroyed so
    they can up the defense.
[14:39] Cayna
    I'm thinking about going there tomorrow.
[14:42] Caerick
    But, Grandmother, bandits
    currently rule over that area.
[14:47] Cayna
    Oh, I'll figure that out.
[14:49] Caerick
    What?
[14:50] Cayna
    My goal isn't to defeat a bunch of bandits,
[14:53] Cayna
    but if they get in my way,
    I might have no choice.
[14:58] Caerick
    Grandmother...
[15:00] Caerick
    If the bandits were to disappear,
    we'd be able to open the trade route again.
[15:06] Cayna
    But even if I defeat these bandits,
    make sure you don't tell anyone.
[15:11] Caerick
    Why is that?
[15:13] Cayna
    I don't want any rumors going around saying
    that a girl easily defeated the bandits
[15:18] Cayna
    that the knights were having
     so much trouble with.
[15:21] Cayna
    If that happens, I'm holing up again.
[15:24] Cayna
    I don't want any attention brought to me.
[15:28] Caerick
    Grandmother, if I may...
[15:32] Caerick
    The knights have a fortress
    in front of the lake,
[15:35] Caercik
    and the road to the lake has been blocked.
[15:38] Cayna
    But it'll still work out, right?
[15:40] Caerick
    But of course.
[15:42] Caerick
    My sister left on a mission a few days ago,
[15:45] Caerick
    and I will ask her to let you through.
[15:48] Cayna
    What's this? Are you sure Sakaiya can
    help out a lowly adventure like myself?
[15:53] Caerick
    There is absolutely no problem with that.
[15:55] Caerick
    That adventurer will be carrying
    out a very important quest,
[16:00] Caerick
    by delivering goods to
    the knights at the fort.
[16:04] Cayna
    Oh, Sakaiya, you villain.
[16:08] Caerick
    Oh, no, no. I'm no match
    for you, Grandmother.
[16:17] Idzik
    Thank goodness Great-Grandmother
    didn't rip Father limb from limb.
[16:27] Cayna
    Thank you very much.
[16:29] Kenison
    N-No problem! This is nothing.
[16:35] Cayna
    So... I'll be gone a couple of days
    so that I can deliver some items
[16:42] Cayna
    to the knights at the fort.
[16:44] Elineh
    I see. I'm glad to see that you seem to
    have worked things out with Sir Caerick.
[16:52] Cayna
    I've caused you a lot of trouble,
    Elineh. I'm so sorry.
[16:56] Arbiter
    I'm sure you'll be just fine in most incidents,
[17:00] Arbiter
    but you can never be too careful.
[17:02] Elineh
    We'll need your help getting back
    to Felskeilo, so please be careful.
[17:09] Cayna
    Right. Thank you both very much.
[17:20] Cayna
    Stop one sec.
[17:25] Cayna
    No one's watching. Okay.
[17:28] Cayna
    Summoning Magic: Veldocancer.
[17:46] Cayna
    Okay, Veldo. Get us to the knights' fort.
[18:02] Caerina
    Yes, Grandmother.
[18:04] Caerina
    I telepathically received Caerick's
    message saying you were bringing supplies,
[18:11] Caerina
    and to let you through to the tower.
[18:14] Caerina
    But that was this morning!
[18:17] Caerina
    It takes at least three days
    on horseback to get here.
[18:20] Caerina
    How did you get here so quickly?
[18:22] Cayna
    Well, I rushed here, assuming you
    were waiting for the supplies.
[18:27] Cayna
    I didn't think I was going to get yelled at.
[18:29] Caerina
    E-Er, that was not my intention.
    I was just curious.
[18:34] Nanbatz
    Um, do you know this adventurer, Captain?
[18:39] Caerina
    She is my grandmother.
[18:41] Caerina
    Treat her like you would anyone else.
[18:44] Nanbatz
    Y-Yes, ma'am.
[18:46] Caerina
    And...
[18:48] Messenger
    R-Reporting! We are under attack!
[18:52] Nanbatz
    What?!
[18:53] Caerina
    By who?
[18:54] Messenger
    We believe they are rock golems,
    and there are nine of them!
[18:58] Nanbatz
    Nine rock golems?!
[19:00] Caerina
    Tell everyone to be ready
    to intercept their attack.
[19:03] Messenger
    Yes, ma'am!
[19:04] Caerina
    Please stay here, Grandmother.
[19:07] Caerina
    Understood?
[19:08] Cayna
    Oh, I don't know.
[19:11] Caerina
    Well, don't blame me if you get hurt.
[19:13] Caerina
    Let's go.
[19:14] Nanbatz
    Yes, ma'am!
[19:18] Kee
    You're not going to help them?
[19:21] Cayna
    I'm not sure.
[19:23] Cayna
    What should I do, though? I really don't
    want to bring attention to myself.
[19:39] Nanbatz
    Rock golems...
[19:41] Caerina
    Archers, fire!
[19:43] Archers
    Yes, ma'am.
[19:49] Archer
    Damn it! It had no effect!
[19:52] Caerina
    I figured that wouldn't work.
[19:53] Caerina
    Without a weapon that actually
    strikes them, like a hammer or mace,
[19:56] Caerina
    we won't be able to deal enough damage.
[19:59] Caerina
    But...
[20:00] Caerina
    We only have twenty knights here. We stand
    no chance with our armor and swords.
[20:04] Nanbatz
    Captain, let's strike!
[20:07] Knight A
    Yes! We cannot allow them
    to advance any further!
[20:11] Knight B
    Captain!
[20:14] Caerina
    I don't believe we're a match for those
    rock golems, but we have no time.
[20:20] Caerina
    If they aren't stopped,
    this fort will be destroyed.
[20:23] Caerina
    And if that happens,
[20:24] Caerina
    no one will be able to protect the royal
    capital from bandits and monsters.
[20:28] Caerina
    I'll just have to do what I can.
[20:32] Caerina
    Let's go. Do not let them
    advance any further.
[20:35] Nanbatz
    Yes, ma'am!
[20:35] Caerina
    Knights, draw your swords.
[20:40] Knight
    I will draw my sword for the captain!
[20:41] Knight
    For Helshper!
[20:42] Knight
    Hey! That's not fair!
[20:43] Knight
    Do not let them through!
[20:44] Knight
    You snooze, you lose!
[20:46] Knight
    Let us be victorious!
[20:46] Knight
    Me, too! Me, too!
[20:52] Nanbatz
    Do not let your guard down.
[20:55] Caerina
    Charge!
[21:05] Nanbatz
    It's unharmed?
[21:18] Knight B
    Get up!
[21:19] Knight C
    Let's take him back to the fort.
[21:23] Caerina
    Weapon Skill...
[21:28] Caerina
    Fire Blade!
[21:34] Knight C
    Way to go, Captain!
[21:35] Knight D
    Did you see that, you stupid stone dolls?!
[21:40] Nanbatz
    Captain!
[21:41] Caerina
    No, I'm fine. But it's no use.
[21:45] Knight D
    Wha—
[21:45] Knight E
    No way!
[21:47] Caerina
    If I can't defeat them with this attack...
    We have no choice but to retreat.
[21:55] Cayna
    Not bad. Not bad at all.
[21:57] Cayna
    Did you learn that on your own?
    It's super impressive if you did.
[22:02] Caerina
    Grandmother...
[22:07] Cayna
    Leave the rest to me.
