**[00:02] People**
Is that him?
**[00:04] People**
It's him!
**[00:09] People**
Kicking him out is only just.
**[00:10] People**
I can't believe him.
**[00:13] People**
Maybe now we can all feel a little better.
**[00:20] Hermes**
With Ikelos exiled from Orario,
the uproar has begun to die down.
**[00:26] Hermes**
From monsters appearing on the
surface to everything else,
**[00:29] Hermes**
it's all being seen as the
work of the Ikelos Familia.
**[00:33] Hermes**
Through playing the part of a visible
scapegoat for us, everything was wrapped up.
**[00:37] Ouranos**
But nothing has, in fact, been resolved.
**[00:41] Ouranos**
The Xenos, unable to return to the Dungeon,
still hide within the city.
**[00:47] Ouranos**
With the Loki Familia at the forefront,
**[00:49] Ouranos**
adventurers continue their search
through the whole of Daedalus Street.
**[00:56] Ouranos**
It is only a matter of time
before they are discovered.
**[01:01] Hermes**
And, with Ikelos now gone,
**[01:05] Hermes**
the town has ended up turning
the blame toward Bell-kun.
**[01:09] Ouranos**
A symbolic target for their malice, is he?
**[01:12] Hermes**
Yes. Good children can become infinitely
cruel through their own virtue.
**[01:18] Mord**
You've gotta be kidding me!
That Little Rookie!
**[01:21] Mord**
Acting like an idiot just because he wanted
the recognition? That blasted rabbit!
**[01:26] Adventurer A**
Must've let getting called the Record Holder
or whatever go to his head!
**[01:30] Adventurer B**
Serves him right.
**[01:31] Adventurer B**
He's had people fawning all over him,
but this will put an end to that.
**[01:37] Adventurer A**
What was that for, Mord?
**[01:39] Mord**
Quit yapping! Just shut up and drink!

Downfall
**[03:24] Hestia**
Welcome home, Mikoto-kun, Haruhime-kun.
**[03:26] Hestia**
Nothing happened in town, did it?
**[03:28] Haruhime**
Nothing direct, but...
**[03:32] Haruhime**
Compared to before,
the gazes upon us were, well...
**[03:36] Mikoto**
It does seem that Bell-dono's
actions have had an effect.
**[03:40] Mikoto**
And the increased criticism from the people
of the town is something palpable.
**[03:46] Hestia**
I see.
**[03:50] Mikoto**
Is Welf-dono still...
**[03:51] Hestia**
Yeah. Shut himself away this whole time.
**[04:00] Bell**
I decided to save her.
**[04:04] Bell**
I don't regret it.
**[04:05] Bell**
No matter what anyone says
to me, it doesn't bother me.
**[04:10] Bell**
But...
**[04:15] Bell**
Come in!
**[04:17] Hestia**
Bell-kun, there's a visitor.
**[04:19] Bell**
For me?
**[04:21] Hermes**
Considering you're the
city's most hated person,
**[04:24] Hermes**
you're looking pretty well, Bell-kun.
**[04:26] Hestia**
Hermes!
**[04:27] Hermes**
Looked at objectively, it's the truth.
**[04:29] Hermes**
You've all heard the talk
in town, haven't you?
**[04:33] Hestia**
Did you go out of your way to
come here just to make fun of us?
**[04:35] Hestia**
Now that you're satisfied, hurry up and leave!
**[04:37] Hermes**
The Xenos are waiting for your help.
**[04:41] Hestia**
What do you mean?
**[04:43] Hermes**
There's no point in hiding things now.
**[04:46] Hermes**
Ouranos has asked for my help with them, too.
**[04:49] Hermes**
Up until now, I've been making
moves in the shadows.
**[04:54] Bell**
Where are they all now?
**[04:55] Hermes**
I've got Asfi and the others looking,
but we don't have a grasp on things yet.
**[05:00] Hermes**
It seems they've split into groups
and are hiding separately,
**[05:03] Hermes**
but regardless, they are unlikely to have
moved from under Daedalus Street.
**[05:08] Hestia**
Loki's children are in
Daedalus Street, aren't they?
**[05:12] Hermes**
Yes.
**[05:13] Hermes**
Freya-sama's eyes are shining
in the direction of Babel,
**[05:16] Hermes**
and the Ganesha Familia has tightened
their guard at the Dungeon's entrance.
**[05:20] Hermes**
They must have decided that,
if the monsters are here,
**[05:22] Hermes**
they wouldn't be anywhere
outside Daedalus Street.
**[05:26] Hermes**
Ais-chan and the others
are on the lookout, too.
**[05:28] Bell**
Ais-san, too?
**[05:31] Hestia**
Hermes, this would be a gamble,
**[05:34] Hestia**
but what if we told Loki and
the others everything?
**[05:37] Hestia**
We wouldn't ask for cooperation.
**[05:39] Hestia**
If they'd just allow the Xenos to return to
the Dungeon this once, that would be enough.
**[05:43] Hermes**
Won't work.
**[05:45] Hermes**
Even if Loki agreed,
**[05:47] Hermes**
the children would never concede to
the idea of mercy toward monsters.
**[05:51] Hermes**
Finn Deimne's dearest wish is to
restore the glory of his people.
**[05:57] Hermes**
He would never knowingly do anything
that would make him give that up.
**[06:01] Hermes**
Even if they know they are intelligent,
**[06:04] Hermes**
for them, monsters are monsters.
**[06:08] Hermes**
There is no option other than annihilation.
**[06:23] Hestia**
You are a curious one, aren't you, Bell-kun?
**[06:26] Hestia**
Deliberately wanting to come to
Daedalus Street, of all places.
**[06:29] Bell**
I'm sorry.
**[06:31] Bell**
But after hearing what Hermes-sama said,
I couldn't just sit around.
**[06:35] Citizen A**
Huh?
**[06:36] Citizen A**
You! You're the Little Rookie, aren't you?
**[06:39] Citizen A**
I'm amazed you came walking through here,
you disgrace of an adventurer!
**[06:43] Citizen B**
Don't go looking like everything's fine!
**[06:45] Citizen C**
Hey, say something!
**[06:47] Crowd**
Who do you think you are?
**[06:48] Crowd**
What are you doing here?
**[06:49] Crowd**
Look what you've done!
**[06:50] Hestia**
All of you, that's enough!
**[06:54] Hestia**
Bell-kun took the actions
he did because of my debt!
**[06:58] Hestia**
Put another way, it was the
result of his deep love for me!
**[07:02] Hestia**
If you're going to blame anyone, blame me!
**[07:05] Hestia**
Let's go, Bell-kun.
**[07:06] Bell**
R-Right.
**[07:08] Bell**
I'm sorry, Goddess.
Making you do that for my sake...
**[07:11] Hestia**
Don't worry about it! Lately, you haven't
been as difficult to handle, anyway.
**[07:16] Hestia**
Actually, I'm a little happy about it.
Lets me live up to my reputation as a goddess.
**[07:21] Bell**
Thank you, Goddess.
**[07:25] Bell**
But with things like this, and trying
to look for Wiene and the others...
**[07:28] Hestia**
Yeah.
**[07:29] Hestia**
Making any careless moves would be bad.
**[07:34] Bell**
Huh?
**[07:39] Hestia**
Huh? Huh?!
**[07:45] Hestia**
Won't you please step aside,
Wallenwhatsit-kun?
**[07:50] Hestia**
Hey! Are you listening, Whatsit-kun?
**[07:51] Loki**
Ais-tan, what's goin' on?
**[07:53] Hestia**
Loki!
**[07:54] Loki**
What's this? It's the shrimp.
**[07:57] Loki**
Ais-tan, don't make any side trips.
Just go straight to Finn, okay?
**[08:01] Ais**
Okay.
**[08:10] Loki**
Kid...
**[08:12] Loki**
You went and did something
pretty amusing, huh?
**[08:15] Loki**
Dunno what you did it for, but you must've
known it would drop your standing, right?
**[08:20] Loki**
Getting cursed at by all the people
who've been praising you 'til now...
**[08:23] Loki**
How's it feel?
**[08:25] Loki**
Huh?
**[08:26] Hestia**
Hold on!
**[08:27] Hestia**
What do you think you're doing?
**[08:29] Hestia**
Stay away from Bell-kun!
**[08:31] Loki**
Aw, come on. I went to the trouble
of meddling and everything, right?
**[08:34] Hestia**
No one asked you to!
**[08:36] Loki**
Let's hang out some more!
Hold up there, kid!
**[08:37] Hestia**
Oh, stop it already!
**[08:38] Hestia**
Bell-kun, this is your chance to escape!
**[08:38] Loki**
Won't you talk with me a little more?
I've suddenly taken quite an interest in you!
**[08:42] Hestia**
No need to take an interest!
Bell-kun, hurry up!
**[08:42] Loki**
Oh, come on! It's fine!
**[08:45] Loki**
Hey, kid! Wait!
**[08:45] Bell**
I'm sorry. If you'll excuse me!
**[08:55] Bell**
If it were just me... I'm ready for
whatever they might say to me.
**[09:00] Bell**
And my goddess would cover for me,
like she did back there.
**[09:03] Bell**
But...
**[09:07] Syr**
Bell-san?
**[09:09] Bell**
Syr-san.
**[09:10] Syr**
I'm so glad!
**[09:11] Syr**
I haven't seen you lately,
so I've been worried.
**[09:15] Bell**
I'm sorry.
**[09:18] Syr**
Shall we walk a little while?
**[09:22] Bell**
I... You know the way people in
town see me right now, don't you?
**[09:28] Syr**
Yes, of course.
**[09:32] Syr**
And then that silly Mama Mia ate
my packed lunch in one bite.
**[09:36] Syr**
"Don't waste food!" she said.
**[09:40] Bell**
You really aren't going to ask me anything?
**[09:44] Syr**
If you want me to, I will.
**[09:47] Syr**
Are you unsure about something?
**[09:55] Syr**
It's better not to try to take
on everything by yourself.
**[09:59] Syr**
Bell-san, you have everyone in your
familia there for you now, don't you?
**[10:06] Bell**
I'm scared.
**[10:09] Bell**
I'm scared to find out.
**[10:11] Bell**
I didn't ask anyone what they thought.
**[10:14] Bell**
I just ran off on my own.
**[10:16] Bell**
I got my friends caught up in all of
it and caused them so much trouble.
**[10:20] Bell**
I... I...
**[10:22] Syr**
If you'll excuse me.
**[10:23] Bell**
Huh?
**[10:24] Bell**
Huh? Wha? Wait!
**[10:26] Syr**
It's all right. Just stay like this.
**[10:29] Syr**
Don't be afraid. Don't hesitate.
**[10:32] Syr**
You may have lost things, but...
**[10:35] Syr**
I'm sure there are true things
that remain by your side.
**[10:41] Syr**
For me...
**[10:43] Syr**
the way you always keep running...
**[10:45] Syr**
is why I like you.
**[10:51] Lili**
I brought dinner!
**[10:54] Lili**
And keep it down at night
so we don't bother the neighbors, okay?
**[11:09] Hermes**
The search of Daedalus Street by the
Loki Familia has begun in earnest.
**[11:14] Hermes**
The reality is, we should see
this as race against time.
**[11:17] Hermes**
The cornered Xenos will
surely make a move soon.
**[11:21] Ouranos**
And they are likely to turn to...
**[11:24] Hermes**
Yes. Bell-kun and the others.
**[11:26] Ouranos**
But the doors to Knossos, which connects to
the Dungeon, are under Loki Familia's control.
**[11:33] Ouranos**
Even with reinforcements, a frontal
assault would only lead to total defeat.
**[11:38] Hermes**
But it isn't as though there
are no options at all.
**[11:43] Hermes**
The blueprints for Knossos, Daedalus' notes.
**[11:49] Hermes**
I had Ikelos give them to me.
**[11:51] Hermes**
The contents have been investigated.
I can vouch for them.
**[11:55] Hermes**
Ouranos...
**[11:56] Hermes**
I will take on bringing the
curtain down on this uproar.
**[11:59] Hermes**
Of course, I will be expecting compensation.
**[12:03] Hermes**
What do you think? You need this, right?
**[12:10] Aisha**
First, monsters possessing intelligence,
the Xenos, then Knossos, is it?
**[12:15] Asfi**
We lack manpower.
**[12:17] Asfi**
To ascertain the extent of the current lull,
**[12:19] Asfi**
we ask your assistance.
**[12:21] Asfi**
Lion, if you would lend us your aid,
**[12:24] Asfi**
I promise to provide you with information
on the remnants of Evilus.
**[12:30] Aisha**
But, you know, regardless of whether
they speak or have intelligence,
**[12:34] Aisha**
the thought of saving monsters...
I just can't make sense of it.
**[12:39] Aisha**
They aren't existences which
should be shown mercy, are they?
**[12:43] Asfi**
Rescuing the Xenos was the client's request.
**[12:47] Asfi**
As you have joined the Hermes Familia,
you will also quietly obey, please.
**[12:52] Aisha**
I'm just not good at
understanding things, you see.
**[12:55] Aisha**
If I don't like it, I may just spit in
your face and get violent, you know?
**[12:59] Asfi**
Allow me to say, then,
**[13:01] Asfi**
that Bell Cranel is also trying to show
mercy to these beings you call "monsters."
**[13:06] Aisha**
What did you say?
**[13:08] Hephaistos**
To put it bluntly,
**[13:10] Hephaistos**
I'm not sure if helping the
Xenos is the right thing to do.
**[13:13] Hephaistos**
I mean, you know why, right? Aboveground,
their existence is simply poisonous.
**[13:18] Hephaistos**
The truth is that, even now,
they've only brought chaos and confusion.
**[13:21] Takemikazuchi**
But still...
**[13:24] Miach**
We are also having difficulty deciding.
**[13:27] Miach**
As of yet, we have not disclosed anything
about the Xenos to our children.
**[13:32] Hephaistos**
Are they really existences we
should be saving, do you think?
**[13:39] Takemikazuchi**
Whether the Xenos' existence is right
or wrong isn't something we can decide.
**[13:43] Takemikazuchi**
But we can't just leave things like this.
**[13:46] Miach**
Right.
**[13:47] Miach**
Then, let us make our decision.
**[13:52] Hestia**
Have you deciphered it, Supporter-kun?
**[13:55] Lili**
Yes.
**[13:56] Lili**
It was, as we thought,
a letter from Fels-sama.
**[13:59] Lili**
I don't know if it was wariness of
it being found by other adventurers,
**[14:02] Lili**
but the cipher was insanely complicated.
**[14:06] Welf**
"Tomorrow night, head for the hidden door
in Daedalus Street that leads to Knossos."
**[14:11] Welf**
"Additionally, I ask for your aid," is it?
**[14:17] Hestia**
"I have prepared all sorts of magic items
which will be useful to this operation."
**[14:21] Hestia**
Or so it says.
**[14:23] Lili**
It's just like an invitation from an evil
god leading to a path of destruction.
**[14:30] Hestia**
All right.
**[14:31] Hestia**
Why don't we decide this now?
The path we'll take from here.
**[14:36] Hestia**
Do we save the Xenos and live
as outcasts in Orario, or...
**[14:41] Hestia**
Do we abandon them, and wait for our
lives to go back to the way they were?
**[14:46] Hestia**
It's one of the two.
**[14:51] Bell**
I know what I will do.
**[14:56] Bell**
I will save Wiene and Lyd
and the other Xenos!
**[15:01] Bell**
I decided that's what I will do!
**[15:03] Bell**
But... the rest of you...
**[15:09] Welf**
Hestia-sama...
**[15:10] Welf**
Can't we add one more option?
**[15:13] Welf**
We handle things really well,
and return them to the Dungeon.
**[15:18] Welf**
And then, no one blames
or criticizes us for it.
**[15:23] Bell**
Huh?
**[15:24] Welf**
Look at this.
**[15:25] Welf**
It's a magic sword.
**[15:27] Welf**
There are three more in my workshop.
**[15:29] Mikoto**
Impressive as always, Welf-dono.
**[15:32] Lili**
Five days spent cooped up for four swords?
**[15:35] Lili**
Couldn't you have managed just
one more for a sharper ending?
**[15:38] Welf**
Even this took everything I had!
**[15:40] Welf**
If we're going to be outmaneuvering
adventurers and saving the Xenos,
**[15:43] Welf**
we can't just sit around
being stubborn, can we?
**[15:46] Hestia**
Bell-kun, everyone has been planning
to do that from the beginning.
**[15:50] Mikoto**
There is no need to hesitate.
**[15:52] Mikoto**
I will follow you, Bell-dono.
**[15:54] Haruhime**
I was once saved by you.
**[15:56] Haruhime**
Why would I fear destruction now?
**[16:00] Lili**
Lili doesn't want to abandon Bell-sama,
or see him abandoned by others.
**[16:05] Lili**
I'm used to being an outcast.
**[16:08] Welf**
So, Bell...
**[16:09] Welf**
Don't leave us behind anymore.
**[16:12] Bell**
Everyone...
**[16:15] (Flashback) Syr**
I'm sure there are true things
that remain by your side.
**[16:21] Bell**
Thank you... everyone!
**[16:23] Hestia**
That's decided, then.
**[16:25] Hestia**
We will save the Xenos together!
**[16:32] Bell**
Let's go save Wiene and the others!
**[17:10] Fels**
Just now, I received a reply from
Bell Cranel and the others.
**[17:14] Fels**
They will give you their full cooperation.
**[17:17] Fels**
Tonight, we will leave this place.
**[17:19] Fels**
Once we have forced our way
through Daedalus Street,
**[17:21] Fels**
we will escape into the
Dungeon through Knossos.
**[17:25] Fels**
I am certain the Loki Familia will
have seen through everything,
**[17:28] Fels**
but as Ouranos cannot take overt action,
we have no other options.
**[17:32] Rei**
Do we just need to reach the door?
Won't the adventurers follow us?
**[17:37] Fels**
Currently, we are the only
ones who possess keys.
**[17:40] Fels**
As long as we succeed in running to the door,
the rest should work itself out.
**[17:44] Gros**
What do we do about Fear, Lett,
and the others who got separated?
**[17:47] Fels**
Once the operation commences, we will
send a signal. That is all we can do.
**[17:51] Fels**
We are prepared for the adventurers
to suspect something is amiss.
**[17:54] Wiene**
Will Bell be coming with them?
**[17:57] Fels**
No.
**[17:59] Fels**
Bell Cranel will serve as decoy.
**[18:02] Rei**
Fels, you would use
Bell-san like this again?
**[18:06] Gros**
Fiend!
**[18:07] Lyd**
Bag of bones!
**[18:08] Wiene**
I hate Fels!
**[18:09] Fels**
Wait! Listen to what I have to say!
**[18:11] Fels**
And being bones has nothing
to do with this!
**[18:16] Fels**
Given the chain of disturbances,
Bell Cranel stands out too much.
**[18:20] Fels**
He is the most suitable for drawing
the attention of the adventurers.
**[18:23] Gros**
A diversion, then.
**[18:25] Lyd**
But...
**[18:26] Lyd**
Relying on Bell-cchi and the others again,
causing them all this trouble...
**[18:30] Fels**
Please, understand. They are
the only ones we can rely on.
**[18:35] Lyd**
My head understands, but...
**[18:39] Wiene**
Lyd...
**[18:40] Wiene**
Haruhime taught me this.
**[18:43] Wiene**
On the surface, they have a thing
called "repaying kindness."
**[18:46] Lyd**
Repaying kindness?
**[18:47] Wiene**
Yeah.
**[18:48] Wiene**
She said you give the person who helped
you all kinds of things to say thank you.
**[18:54] Wiene**
So, one day, we can help Bell and
the others lots and lots, okay?
**[19:00] Lyd**
You've changed.
**[19:02] Lyd**
Though I can't say how, exactly...
**[19:05] Wiene**
Really?
**[19:06] Lyd**
Okay.
**[19:07] Lyd**
Then once all this is over, we'll repay
Bell-cchi and the others' kindness a lot!
**[19:11] Wiene**
Yeah!
**[19:13] Fels**
Then, let us begin discussions
with Bell Cranel and the others.
**[19:20] Fels**
Can you hear me, Bell Cranel?
**[19:24] Bell**
I can hear you, Fels-san!
**[19:25] Wiene**
It's Bell! Bell! Bell!
**[19:28] Bell**
Wiene!
**[19:28] Wiene**
Bell, have you been well?
**[19:28] Rei**
It has been some time, Bell-san.
**[19:30] Wiene**
Bell, I want to hurry up and see you!
**[19:30] Lyd**
Bell-cchi, it's us! It's Lyd!
**[19:32] Gros**
Quiet! They'll find us!
**[19:32] Wiene**
Bell! Bell! Bell!
**[19:35] Hestia**
There are six entrances to Knossos.
**[19:37] Hestia**
Below Daedalus Street to the
northeast, northwest, west,
**[19:42] Hestia**
southwest, southeast, and east.
**[19:45] Hestia**
But according to our information, the Loki
Familia has only made four defense teams.
**[19:51] Hestia**
Which means...
**[19:52] Welf**
They've only found four of
the doors, right?
**[19:56] Hestia**
Right.
**[19:57] Mikoto**
Then, if we aim for the open doors, we can
break through the Loki Familia's forces.
**[20:03] Hestia**
Yes.
**[20:04] Hestia**
But as to which of the doors
their forces are stationed at,
**[20:08] Hestia**
even Ouranos and the others
haven't found that out.
**[20:10] Fels**
Unfortunately, we do not have the
time to investigate that in advance.
**[20:15] Fels**
Knowing the dangers, we must determine
that as we proceed with the plan.
**[20:20] Lili**
In that case,
**[20:22] Lili**
it doesn't seem like we'll be able to
avoid clashing with the Loki Familia.
**[20:26] Fels**
Even so, we want to limit the scope of
the fighting to the absolute minimum.
**[20:30] Fels**
And so, that is where you
come in, Bell Cranel.
**[20:37] Finn**
Bell Cranel is a distraction ploy.
That is, he is being used as a decoy.
**[20:41] Finn**
Whether it is of his own
volition or not aside,
**[20:44] Finn**
he is in a position to be used by
the monsters and their leader.
**[20:48] Finn**
Looking at the sequence of events thus far,
there is no question of that.
**[20:52] Finn**
While our attention is turned toward him,
**[20:55] Finn**
the enemy will head toward the
nearest entrance to the labyrinth.
**[20:58] Finn**
So the place we must pay attention
to is the place Bell Cranel is not.
**[21:02] Finn**
Defend the doors to Knossos
to the very last.
**[21:06] Finn**
And what we must pay most attention
to is that black minotaur.
**[21:11] Finn**
When it appears, the first
priority is its subjugation.
**[21:14] Finn**
The enemy will move soon.
**[21:16] Finn**
Do not let them have their way.
Stop them with everything you've got!
**[21:21] Hermes**
The former Sage may have
the wisdom of years,
**[21:24] Hermes**
but in standard practice,
you can't outmaneuver Braver.
**[21:27] Hermes**
He's just much too clever.
**[21:31] Hermes**
How many magic items are capable of
exceeding Finn Deimne's thinking?
**[21:36] Hermes**
If there is a means of escape,
that would be it, but...
**[21:39] Hermes**
What is most important is, after all, him:
**[21:43] Hermes**
Bell Cranel.
**[21:59] Bell**
We're going to save them. All of them!
