[00:28] Ottarl
    Beyond this point...
[00:31] Ottarl
    You will find what you are seeking.
[00:39] Asterius
    I keep having the same dream.
[00:44] Asterius
    A lone human and I...
[00:47] Asterius
    In the dream, we do battle.

    Hero's Return
[02:23] Fels
    You're telling the Xenos to die?
[02:26] Fels
    What is the meaning of this, Lord Hermes?
[02:29] Hermes
    It's a trade. No...
[02:32] Hermes
    I suppose it's a request.
[02:34] Hermes
    At this rate, eventually you'll
    be found by the Loki Familia.
[02:39] Hermes
    But there is another way out.
[02:43] Hermes
    If you listen to my request, I'll tell you.
[02:47] Hermes
    And in exchange...
[02:49] Hestia
    Fels-kun! This is bad!
[02:52] Hestia
    The notes were submerged in water,
    but they maintained their form.
[02:55] Hestia
    They're fake!
[02:58] Hestia
    Ouranos must have—no...
[03:00] Hestia
    That Hermes must have done something!
[03:02] Hestia
    Are you listening, Fels-kun?
[03:07] Fels
    What is your objective, Lord Hermes?
[03:15] Hestia
    Those notes of Daedalus's were fake!
[03:18] Lili
    F-Fake?
[03:20] Bell
    What does this mean, Goddess?
[03:24] Hestia
    I don't know.
[03:26] Hestia
    I don't know, but I have a bad feeling.
[03:29] Haruhime
    Has something happened to
    Lyd-sama and the others?
[03:31] Lili
    What?
[03:33] Hestia
    Hermes is plotting something.
    There's no mistake about that, but...
[03:45] Hestia
    Is that...
[03:49] Guile
    What's that?
[03:50] Scott
    Are those monsters?
[03:52] Mord
    Where...
[03:54] Mord
    Where are we hearing this from?
[03:56] Scott
    Mord, there.
[03:58] Mord
    What?
[03:59] Crowd
    What is it?
[03:59] Crowd
    They're coming this way!
[04:00] Crowd
    This is insane!
[04:04] Mord
    What is that?
[04:13] Crowd
    Run!
[04:17] Rehmer
    Stay right here.
[04:18] Eina
    Yes, sir.
[04:23] Guild Person
    Adventurers! Subdue them!
[04:30] Ouka
    Chigusa!
[04:30] Ouka
    Get them out of here!
[04:32] Chigusa
    R-Right!
[04:34] Chigusa
    Come on, this way!
[04:36] Haruhime
    Is that... Gros-sama and the others!
[04:39] Hestia
    What's going on?
[04:42] Bell
    It can't be.
[04:44] Bell
    Why?
[04:47] Hestia
    Stop, Bell-kun!
[04:50] Hestia
    Why?
[04:52] Hestia
    Why force the Xenos to do something
    like this? Why is it necessary?
[04:57] Hestia
    What are you after,
[04:58] Hestia
    Hermes?!
[05:02] (Flashback) Hermes
    I'll have them put on an act.
[05:07] (Flashback) Hermes
    The square is the theater.
[05:09] (Flashback) Hermes
    The residents are the audience.
[05:12] (Flashback) Hermes
    The monsters and adventurers are
    actors with their parts to play.
[05:16] (Flashback) Hermes
    The stage awaits.
[05:19] (Flashback) Hermes
    In their time of crisis,
    he races to their aid...
[05:21] (Flashback) Hermes
    Enter, the gallant hero!
[05:26] (Flashback) Gros
    I see.
[05:28] (Flashback) Gros
    So you are telling us to die
    for that boy's sake, correct?
[05:34] (Flashback) Gros
    To regain the boy's honor,
[05:37] (Flashback) Gros
    you want us to be defeated by
    him in front of the people.
[05:41] (Flashback) Hermes
    It's such a help that you
    understand so quickly.
[05:43] (Flashback) Hermes
    Oh...
[05:45] (Flashback) Hermes
    I'm not saying that all of you need to die.
[05:48] (Flashback) Hermes
    If you'd pick three or four of you,
     that would be sufficient.
[05:54] (Flashback) Gros
    In that case, I will go.
[05:57] (Flashback) Lyd
    H-Hey!
[05:59] (Flashback) Gros
    We have no choice in any case.
[06:03] (Flashback) Gros
    Everything lies in the hands of this god.
[06:13] Eina
    Everyone! This way!
[06:14] Eina
    Please follow the directions
    of the Ganesha Familia!
[06:20] Adventurer
    I won't let you go!
[06:23] Eina
    Don't panic!
[06:32] Eina
    B-Bell-kun...
[06:34] Bell
    Eina-san, please stand back!
[06:41] Bell
    Has he lost control?
[06:44] (Flashback) Hermes
    Brave gargoyle,
[06:46] (Flashback) Hermes
    I would like to hear your name.
[06:49] (Flashback) Gros
    Gros.
[06:50] (Flashback) Hermes
    Thank you, Gros-kun.
[06:52] (Flashback) Hermes
    You may be a monster,
[06:54] (Flashback) Hermes
    but I will call you by name.
[06:56] (Flashback) Gros
    What is this?
[06:58] (Flashback) Hermes
    This item will react to
    someone important to him.
[07:02] (Flashback) Hermes
    Target her first for me.
[07:05] (Flashback) Gros
    Understood.
[07:07] Gros
    So this is how I will "repay his kindness"?
[07:11] Gros
    Don't falter, boy.
[07:13] Gros
    If you do...
[07:14] Gros
    I will kill that woman!
[07:20] Welf
    Hey!
[07:21] Welf
    What's going on?
[07:23] Welf
    Is it really the Xenos?
[07:26] Welf
    They don't have any reason to run wild.
[07:29] Hestia
    It's all at Hermes's instigation!
[07:31] Hestia
    Let's hurry!
[07:35] Hermes
    Now, then...
[07:37] Hermes
    Sorry, Ouranos.
[07:39] Hermes
    This is how things turned out.
[07:41] Hermes
    Coexistence with monsters?
[07:44] Hermes
    Don't be stupid!
[07:46] Hermes
    What would come of overturning thousands
    of years of hate and fated bonds?
[07:52] Hermes
    A heretical hero? No one wants that.
[07:57] Hermes
    This is a return to the origins
    of the hero, Bell-kun!
[08:01] Hermes
    Let's defeat those monsters.
[08:04] Hermes
    Defeat them and save the people...
[08:07] Hermes
    And bloom once more into a hero!
[08:10] Hestia
    Bell-kun!
[08:11] Lyd
    Are we just going to leave things like this?
[08:14] Lyd
    It's true, if we think of
    Bell-cchi and the others,
[08:17] Lyd
    then this might be the right thing to do.
[08:20] Lyd
    But abandoning Gros and the others isn't!
[08:24] Lyd
    For only us to make it back...
    That isn't right, is it?
[08:28] Fels
    You are wrong, Lyd.
[08:30] Fels
    I have faith.
[08:34] Fels
    That foolish boy...
[08:37] Fels
    He will surpass the will of the gods.
[08:40] Bell
    Why?
[08:43] Bell
    Gros-san...
[08:45] Bell
    Why?
[08:47] Wiene
    It might not be possible now,
[08:50] Wiene
    but if there are people
    like Bell and the others,
[08:54] Wiene
    then maybe our dreams will come true!
[08:59] Man
    Look!
[09:01] Man
    It's the Loki Familia!
[09:04] Gros
    So this is as far as we go...
[09:06] Gros
    But the one who kills
    me will be Bell Cranel!
[09:09] Gros
    It must be you.
[09:12] Gros
    Steel your will, boy!
[09:23] (Flashback) Grandfather
    Do not yield your will to others.
[09:27] (Flashback) Grandfather
    This is...
[09:29] (Flashback) Grandfather
    your path.
[09:55] Hermes
    Oh, Bell-kun...
[09:58] Hermes
    You truly are a fool.
[10:02] Hermes
    Asfi, make him run wild.
[10:11] Asfi
    I will not ask for your forgiveness.
[10:15] Hestia
    Bell-kun...
[10:33] Bell
    Eina-san!
[11:45] Asterius
    All this time...
[11:47] Asterius
    All this time, I kept having this dream.
[11:52] Asterius
    A dream where a lone human and I do battle.
[11:57] Asterius
    Amidst the blood and flesh flying
    as we try to kill each other,
[12:00] Asterius
    I know we had an exchange of wills
[12:03] Asterius
    as the most worthy of adversaries.
[12:06] Asterius
    Now, to meet that person from my dream,
[12:10] Asterius
    I stand here.
[12:15] Asterius
    My name is Asterius.
[12:19] Asterius
    I wish to hear your name.
[12:24] Bell
    Bell...
[12:25] Bell
    Bell Cranel.
[12:33] Asterius
    Bell, if you would...
[12:37] Asterius
    Grant me a rematch!
[12:59] Welf
    What are all of you doing?
[13:01] Lili
    All the hard work that Lili and the
    others put in, at risk of death...
[13:03] Lili
    Are you trying to make it all go to waste?
[13:06] Gros
    N-No! There's a reason for this...
[13:09] Hestia
    Right now, getting them
    out of here comes first.
[13:13] Hestia
    Haruhime-kun, you gave
    Wiene the oculus, right?
[13:16] Haruhime
    Yes. When we parted, I gave her my own.
[13:19] Hestia
    Right.
[13:21] Hestia
    Right now, we should be able
    to all meet up in Knossos!
[13:44] Ouka
    Bell!
[13:46] Eina
    Bell-kun?
[13:57] Tiona
    Hey! What are you doing?
[13:59] Tiona
    I'm trying to get to Argonaut-kun.
[14:02] Tione
    What do you punks think you're
    doing? Stay out of our way!
[14:07] Allen
    The kid's putting his
    honor on the line here.
[14:10] Allen
    You're the ones who need
    to stay out of the way!
[14:24] Finn
    You really got us, Ottarl.
[14:26] Finn
    The reason Ais and the other
    adventurers can't step in...
[14:30] Finn
    It's because of you and yours, isn't it?
[14:32] Ottarl
    Everything...
[14:33] Ottarl
    is as my mistress wishes.
[14:43] Mikoto
    Hestia-sama...
[14:44] Mikoto
    Let's move.
[14:46] Hestia
    Yes.
[14:52] Hermes
    What is this?
[14:54] Hermes
    What is all of this?
[14:57] Asfi
    In the confusion, the Xenos have escaped.
[15:00] Asfi
    It seems likely that, under the
    goddess Hestia's direction,
[15:03] Asfi
    they have headed for Knossos.
[15:07] Hermes
    Because of a single monster,
[15:10] Hermes
    everything's gone to waste!
[15:17] Hermes
    Very well! I will admit it!
[15:19] Hermes
    I've lost!
[15:21] Hermes
    How could I have imagined this scene?
[15:26] Hermes
    In my plan, things would not
    have gotten this fevered.
[15:31] Hermes
    A scene in which this
    battle was surpassed...
[15:34] Hermes
    It shouldn't have been possible
    to bring such a thing into being!
[15:37] Hermes
    Did you know, Zeus?
[15:41] Hermes
    That those who defy the will
    of the gods shine brightest?
[15:47] Crowd
    You can do it!
[15:48] Crowd
    Keep fighting!
[15:51] Mord
    Go, Little Rookie!
[15:53] Crowd
    Go! You've got this!
[15:55] Crowd
    You can do it! Go!
[16:10] Hermes
    Honestly, the real court jester here is me!
[16:13] Hermes
    A sage's wisdom! A hero's plans!
[16:17] Hermes
    But the thing that crushed a
    god's calculations was...
[16:19] Hermes
    Pure strength!
[16:23] Hermes
    You got me.
[16:25] Hermes
    I wonder what the look
     on your face is right now,
[16:28] Hermes
    Freya-sama.
[16:30] Freya
    I'm so sorry, Hermes.
[16:33] Freya
    I've taken over your show.
[16:36] Freya
    And you have my gratitude, too.
[16:39] Freya
    Come this way.
[16:41] Freya
    The place for you to settle this...
     is right here.
[16:48] Bell
    I want to win.
[16:50] Bell
    I...
[16:51] Bell
    I want to win!
[17:01] Adventurer B
    What was that?
[17:03] Adventurer A
    We must inform Ganesha-sama!
[17:08] Ganesha
    In a battle between men,
    one must not be ill-mannered.
[17:11] Ganesha
    The safety of the citizens
    is our very top priority!
[17:15] Ganesha
    Don't stop. Keep going!
[17:17] Ganesha
    Keep moving forward, young man!
[17:32] Bell
    Firebolt!
[17:56] Bell
    I want to be stronger,
[17:58] Bell
    so that I never have to lose
    anything ever again.
[18:19] Bell
    I...
[18:21] Bell
    want to be a hero!
[19:19] Asterius
    Now, we're at one win, one loss.
[19:24] Asterius
    Bell...
[19:25] Asterius
    Next time, we settle this.
[19:43] Bell
    I lost.
[19:45] Bell
    But... this was for the best.
[19:50] Bell
    There was... meaning to this fight.
[20:00] Bell
    That's a lie.
[20:02] Bell
    Being glad I lost...
[20:04] Bell
    That's a lie!
[20:06] Bell
    I... wanted to win!
[20:19] Eina
    Bell-kun...
[20:22] Lyd
    I'm really sorry, Fels.
[20:26] Lyd
    Making you heal everyone with magic...
[20:29] Lyd
    We've caused you a lot of trouble.
[20:31] Fels
    Not at all.
[20:33] Fels
    Ever since I decided to
    tie my fate to yours,
[20:36] Fels
    I have been prepared for this.
[20:39] Lyd
    Thanks.
[20:41] Lyd
    Still...
[20:42] Lyd
    You really have the craziest
    dumb luck, huh, Gros?
[20:46] Gros
    I nearly died.
[20:48] Rei
    Honestly...
[20:49] Rei
    You don't get to say things like that.
[20:54] Wiene
    I'm so happy for you, Gros!
[20:57] Fels
    By the way, Lyd,
[20:59] Fels
    what about him?
[21:02] Lyd
    He's already headed down
    to the lower levels.
[21:05] Lyd
    Training again.
[21:08] Lyd
    He said he needs to get even stronger.
[21:15] Adventurer A
    I heard that in the end
[21:17] Adventurer A
    the Loki Familia wiped out all the monsters.
[21:20] Adventurer B
    That's incredible.
[21:22] Adventurer B
    But I guess we can rest easy now.
[21:26] Welf
    "The Little Rookie Miraculously Survives."
[21:30] Welf
    Honestly...
[21:31] Welf
    They just write whatever
    they want, don't they?
[21:33] Mikoto
    It's fine. This clears all
    the misunderstandings away.
[21:38] Lili
    Now, everything goes back to the way it was.
[21:40] Mikoto
    Not exactly.
[21:46] Hestia
    Are you all right, Haruhime-kun?
[21:49] Haruhime
    Yes.
[21:51] Haruhime
    We'll meet again.
[21:53] Haruhime
    We made a promise.
[21:59] Welf
    All that's left is Bell.
[22:01] Lili
    Hestia-sama, is Bell-sama...
[22:04] Hestia
    Yup.
[22:06] Hestia
    Once again, today he's—
[22:12] Hermes
    Hi!
[22:43] Bell
    Ais-san...
[22:47] Bell
    Why... are you here?
[22:50] Ais
    I wonder.
[22:53] Ais
    If I came here,
[22:55] Ais
    I had a feeling I would see you, so...
[22:58] Bell
    Really?
[23:01] Ais
    Yes.
[23:04] Bell
    Ais-san...
[23:05] Ais
    Yes?
[23:07] Bell
    Will you teach me how to fight again?
[23:12] Ais
    Even though all that happened?
[23:15] Bell
    Yes.
[23:20] Ais
    You don't play fair.
[23:24] Bell
    Ais-san,
[23:25] Bell
    I...
[23:28] Bell
    want to be stronger.
