[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! SIGN    A Grandson, a Granddaughter, a Great-Grandson, and a Fortress SIGN    A Grandson, a Granddaughter, a Great-Grandson, and a Fortress SIGN    Sakai [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.
