**[00:10] Assassin**
* There was an overwhelming*
* difference in our strength.*
**[00:13] Assassin**
*He could have easily killed me back then.*
**[00:16] Assassin**
*So why did he...*
**[00:21] (Flashback) Taichi**
Sorry.
**[00:31] Gerard**
Have you decided what you want to do?
**[00:35] Assassin**
Yes, I've decided.
***SIGN*** Episode 4 Crimson Pact
**[02:18] Myura**
Taichi, stop.
**[02:20] Taichi**
What's wrong?
**[02:21] Myura**
Look over there.
**[02:28] Taichi**
Signs of a camp, huh?
**[02:30] Leithe**
Damn! This is where those
shits have been hiding out?!
**[02:33] McGill**
It's still warm.
**[02:37] Myura**
Rin?
**[02:38] Rin**
They're here.
**[02:39] McGill**
Is it them?!
**[02:41] Rin**
They're not that far.
**[02:43] Rin**
They're likely in the field up ahead.
**[02:46] Rin**
There are three.
**[02:48] Rin**
Human this time.
**[02:56] McGill**
Hey, you bastards!
**[03:00] Leithe**
We're not letting you off this time!
**[03:04] Taichi**
* Looks like their mage bodyguard*
* isn't with them.*
**[03:07] Taichi**
*Which means...*
**[03:17] Taichi**
Hey, why don't you all stop right there?
**[03:20] Man**
Huh? Who are you, brat?
**[03:22] Man**
Go back home, kid!
**[03:24] Taichi**
We're adventurers.
**[03:26] Taichi**
We've been hired to bring you all in.
**[03:30] Taichi**
It'll be best for you if you don't resist.
**[03:32] Taichi**
If you do, I won't show mercy.
**[03:40] Man**
Damn it!
**[03:41] Man**
Today, of all days, was the one damn
time that female mage wasn't with us!
**[03:44] Man**
She always popped in and out
from nowhere, that traitor!
**[03:48] Man**
If she were here, these adventurer
brats would be nothing!
**[03:51] Taichi**
What was that?
**[03:54] Taichi**
Stealing is a serious crime.
**[03:57] Taichi**
We'll be turning you three in to the watch.
**[03:59] McGill**
I'd rather beat them myself.
**[04:02] Leithe**
Come on, stand up!
**[04:04] Man**
Shit!
**[04:07] Cassim**
Well, that was splendid work.
**[04:09] Cassim**
Impressive.
**[04:10] Cassim**
You have my thanks, too.
**[04:17] Taichi**
They're awfully soft.
**[04:19] Cassim**
Huh?
**[04:21] Taichi**
Your hands.
**[04:24] Taichi**
Cultivating melilas is heavy labor.
**[04:27] Taichi**
Both McGill and Leithe had rough,
calloused hands from their daily farm work.
**[04:33] Taichi**
Yet your hands...
**[04:36] Taichi**
don't have a single scratch on them.
**[04:37] Taichi**
They're too clean.
**[04:39] Cassim**
Well, I'm the overseer.
**[04:43] Myura**
There's more.
**[04:44] Myura**
You knew about the Ogre and Orcs, didn't you?
**[04:47] Cassim**
Huh?
**[04:48] Rin**
Ogres and Orcs are monsters that normally
live in the prairies far north of here.
**[04:53] Rin**
It's unnatural for a farmer who's never been
an adventurer to immediately recognize them.
**[04:58] Taichi**
Cassim, who are you?
**[05:09] Cassim**
You barely pass.
**[05:12] Cassim**
As you've surmised, I am the one who
sent the Orcs and the Ogre here.
**[05:17] Cassim**
The one who convinced those men
to steal the melila fruit
**[05:20] ---**
and got the farmers to put in
a request with the guild
**[05:24] Cassim**
was also me.
**[05:27] Myura**
Why would you do that?
**[05:29] Cassim**
In order to draw the three of you out here.
**[05:32] Cassim**
Oh, it was just a little test.
**[05:35] Cassim**
I needed to discern your true capabilities.
**[05:42] Cassim**
You proved admirable.
**[05:44] Cassim**
Especially Taichi. You were wonderful.
**[05:47] Taichi**
Well, thanks.
**[05:49] Cassim**
But you're naïve.
**[05:52] Grammy**
You talk too much, Cassim.
**[05:55] Myura**
Wha?!
**[05:57] Grammy**
Convenient, isn't it?
**[05:59] Grammy**
Run some magic power through this thing,
**[06:01] ---**
and it completely conceals both your
presence and your magic power.
**[06:05] Grammy**
Apparently, it blocks perception.
**[06:09] Grammy**
Whoa.
**[06:11] Grammy**
Don't be in such a hurry.
**[06:12] Grammy**
I, Grammy, will give you two
plenty of pleasure.
**[06:17] Grammy**
Right?
**[06:18] Cassim**
Yes. I leave them to you.
**[06:20] Cassim**
I have to take care of
this young boy, after all.
**[06:31] Grammy**
Shooting a hot one at me without warning?
**[06:34] Grammy**
I like that.
**[06:38] Grammy**
Nice!
**[06:39] Myura**
If you could hide your presence,
then why didn't you attack us then?
**[06:43] Grammy**
Huh? Are you stupid?
**[06:45] Grammy**
I'm not interested in petty assassination.
**[06:49] Grammy**
What I want is the coming together
of two lives. Ah, that tingle!
**[06:54] Grammy**
That's the battle I want!
**[06:57] Grammy**
You need to thrust even deeper
if you want to bring one to their knees!
**[07:01] Grammy**
Right?
**[07:02] Myura**
*She's strong.*
**[07:04] Myura**
* This woman also has an*
* abnormal obsession with battle.*
**[07:08] Myura**
*But...*
**[07:09] Myura**
Rin!
**[07:10] Rin**
I know!
**[07:11] Myura**
*This time...*
**[07:13] Myura**
*I'm not alone!*
**[07:15] Rin**
Fire Arrow!
**[07:17] Grammy**
Weak!
**[07:22] Rin**
*Wind magic?!*
**[07:23] Rin**
*In that case, I'll...*
**[07:26] Rin**
Dust Whirlwind!
**[07:35] Rin**
* It's just a little longer before Muller can*
* reapply her physical enhancement.*
**[07:38] Rin**
*If I can buy us just a little more time...*
**[07:41] Grammy**
You know how to make a girl happy!
**[07:44] Grammy**
Wha?!
**[07:49] Grammy**
Activating two attributes at once?!
**[07:55] Taichi**
So that woman just now was their bodyguard?
**[07:58] Cassim**
Yes.
**[07:59] Cassim**
However, you'll be facing me.
**[08:02] Taichi**
You're unarmed.
**[08:04] Taichi**
You fight barehanded?
**[08:05] Cassim**
Surely you jest.
**[08:07] Cassim**
I'll have you...
**[08:16] Cassim**
fight my adorable Frost Elemental.
**[08:22] Taichi**
A pet?
**[08:23] Taichi**
You're taking me quite lightly, aren't you?
**[08:32] Cassim**
Well?
**[08:34] Cassim**
As the name implies, a Frost Elemental
is a monster of the frost attribute.
**[08:39] Cassim**
Since it's elemental, it has no physical body,
and physical attacks won't work on it.
**[08:44] Cassim**
However...
**[08:47] Taichi**
For some reason, its attacks
*will* work on me, huh?
**[08:50] Cassim**
Attacking it with your
sword won't work, either.
**[08:53] Cassim**
Though you can at least
use it to defend yourself.
**[08:55] Cassim**
Even though you defeated
an Ogre with a single blow,
**[08:59] Cassim**
you have no way to fight a Frost Elemental.
**[09:02] Cassim**
So, what will you do now?
**[09:12] Rin**
*None of these attacks will prove decisive.*
**[09:15] Rin**
*But if I can buy us time and distance...*
**[09:18] Myura**
Thanks, Rin!
**[09:23] Grammy**
This is fun!
**[09:25] Grammy**
That look on your face is great!
**[09:27] Grammy**
You're making me hot!
**[09:33] Rin**
*At this rate, Muller will just exhaust herself.*
**[09:39] Rin**
*I need to do something fast.*
**[09:46] Rin**
*Wait, she was planning for that?!*
**[09:50] Grammy**
What?
**[09:52] Grammy**
That's boring.
**[09:59] Rin**
Muller!
**[10:00] Grammy**
More!
**[10:01] Grammy**
More!
**[10:02] Grammy**
I told you to give me more...
**[10:04] Rin**
Aero Armor!
**[10:05] Grammy**
...of that thrill!
**[10:13] Taichi**
No effect at all, huh?
**[10:15] Cassim**
I told you that physical attacks
wouldn't work, didn't I?
**[10:19] Cassim**
I also said attacking with
your sword was futile, too.
**[10:21] Taichi**
Figured it was worth trying.
**[10:24] Cassim**
You say that, but you're
planning on buying time.
**[10:28] Cassim**
Get him.
**[10:39] Taichi**
Damn it!
**[10:42] Cassim**
Wishing those two were here?
**[10:45] Cassim**
They can both use fire magic, after all.
**[10:48] Cassim**
They'd have the means to
fight this Frost Elemental.
**[10:51] Cassim**
But it appears that you can't use magic.
**[10:55] Cassim**
Your physical abilities are all
that distinguish you.
**[10:58] Cassim**
That's quite intriguing
on its own, however.
**[11:01] Taichi**
What are you after?
**[11:03] Taichi**
Why did you put on such an elaborate
performance just to go after us?
**[11:06] Taichi**
Not to mention preparing this monster...
**[11:08] Cassim**
Well, I've gauged your ability now,
**[11:11] Cassim**
so it's time to move on to the next stage.
**[11:16] Cassim**
Frost Elemental, eat this.
**[11:34] Cassim**
Looks like the experiment was a success.
**[11:37] Cassim**
This is a Red Elemental.
**[11:39] Cassim**
That's what I'll call it for now.
**[11:43] Cassim**
Go forth, Red Elemental.
**[11:46] Cassim**
Settle this.
**[11:57] Cassim**
Well? It's on a whole
different level now, isn't it?
**[12:02] Taichi**
Seems that way.
**[12:09] Cassim**
Oh?
**[12:11] Cassim**
Looks like your enhancement couldn't
keep up with the Red Elemental's speed.
**[12:16] Cassim**
Oh, I won't kill you.
**[12:18] Cassim**
You're an important pawn, after all.
**[12:21] Taichi**
Pawn?
**[12:23] Taichi**
What are you planning to make me do?
**[12:26] Cassim**
Who knows?
**[12:28] Cassim**
However, I do plan on holding those two
young ladies fighting Grammy as hostages.
**[12:35] Cassim**
Do you understand why I went to the effort
of drawing you three out here now?
**[12:39] Cassim**
What I desire is your power.
**[12:43] Cassim**
But to claim it, I need shackles
that will force your obedience.
**[12:46] Cassim**
That's the role those two will play.
**[12:49] Taichi**
What are you planning to do to Rin and Muller?
**[12:52] Cassim**
That depends entirely on you.
**[12:54] Cassim**
However, if you won't obey me,
then I'll have to penalize them.
**[13:01] Cassim**
For example, by letting other men
have their way with them.
**[13:05] Taichi**
You scumbag!
**[13:24] Grammy**
Tsk. I finally get fired up,
and now it's all over?
**[13:29] Myura**
You really are strong.
**[13:32] Grammy**
Oh?
**[13:35] Rin**
Seriously.
**[13:36] Rin**
You remind us of someone else,
overwhelming both of us at once.
**[13:41] Myura**
Enhancement Level 40, I'd say.
**[13:44] Rin**
Yeah.
**[13:45] Grammy**
Well, then let's get round two started!
**[13:48] Grammy**
Though the same tactics
won't work on me this time.
**[13:52] Myura**
You're right. I don't think this is working.
**[13:56] Rin**
Yeah, let's go back.
**[13:57] Grammy**
Huh?
**[13:58] Rin**
I'm saying that we'll revert to
our standard battle tactics now.
**[14:03] Grammy**
Then what was all that before?
**[14:05] Myura**
A bit of a test to expand
our repertoire, I suppose.
**[14:10] Grammy**
Huh?
**[14:12] Grammy**
Have you been taking me lightly?
**[14:15] Myura**
No, we haven't.
**[14:18] Grammy**
Bring it!
**[14:19] Myura**
Gladly!
**[14:24] Grammy**
Huh?
**[14:25] Grammy**
This is your new plan?
**[14:27] Grammy**
It's the exact same as before...
**[14:32] ---**
*A spellsword?!*
**[14:35] Rin**
Muller!
**[14:36] Grammy**
*When did she enter my escape route?!*
**[14:39] Grammy**
Get the hell out of my way!
**[14:53] Rin**
Sword of the Lightning God!
**[14:55] Grammy**
*Damn it, I can't make it in time!*
**[15:07] Grammy**
This is fun! This is fun, you two!
**[15:11] Grammy**
I can't get enough of this!
**[15:12] Grammy**
Hurry up and give me more!
**[15:14] Grammy**
You have more, don't you, right?
**[15:16] Myura**
Rin...
**[15:17] Rin**
Yeah, let's settle it with this.
**[15:19] Grammy**
Hurry up, come on!
**[15:21] Grammy**
Let me see you push yourselves to the brink!
**[15:24] Rin**
You don't have to ask.
**[15:27] Rin**
Dust Cascade!
**[15:32] Grammy**
Quit screwing with me!
**[15:34] Grammy**
The same trick won't—
**[15:35] Rin**
It's not the same.
**[15:38] Rin**
When tiny particles are
dispersed in an area...
**[15:41] Grammy**
That's...
**[15:42] Rin**
...just bring something flammable close
to it, and it causes a dust explosion!
**[15:52] Rin**
*I'm glad I paid attention in class at school!*
**[15:55] Rin**
Now...
**[15:59] Grammy**
That was titillating!
**[16:02] Myura**
It's not over yet!
**[16:04] Myura**
This is how we fight!
**[16:08] Myura**
Red Lotus!
**[16:18] Myura**
Looks like you've woken up.
**[16:24] Grammy**
I'll admit it, I lost today!
**[16:29] Grammy**
But only today!
**[16:32] Grammy**
Isn't it obvious?
**[16:33] Grammy**
Once this wound has...
**[16:36] Grammy**
healed and I've gotten stronger,
we're having a rematch!
**[16:41] Grammy**
I'd obviously want to go hard
with girls like you again!
**[16:47] Grammy**
You were *incredible*.
**[16:51] Myura**
I'll let you handle her next time, Rin.
**[16:53] Rin**
Why me?
**[16:55] Cassim**
Oh, Grammy, you lost?
**[17:01] Cassim**
You should stop right there
**[17:02] Cassim**
if you care about his safety.
**[17:09] Rin**
Taichi!
**[17:11] Cassim**
My goodness, I can't believe he fought the
Red Elemental barehanded for that long.
**[17:16] ---**
His abilities really are
on a whole different level.
**[17:22] Taichi**
Wh-Why, you...
**[17:24] Cassim**
Oh? You're still conscious?
**[17:29] Rin**
Stop it!
**[17:30] Myura**
That's enough!
**[17:32] Cassim**
Then will you accept defeat
and quietly do as I say?
**[17:40] Taichi**
*I won't let him!*
**[17:42] Taichi**
* I won't let them be taken*
* hostage because of me!*
**[17:44] Taichi**
*Damn it, I can't...*
**[17:46] Taichi**
*Why?!*
**[17:47] Taichi**
* I thought I was supposed to have*
* the power to defeat entire nations.*
**[17:51] Taichi**
*Like a cheat, right?*
**[17:53] Taichi**
*I promised I would protect Rin!*
**[17:57] Taichi**
* I promised that we would*
* return to our world together!*
**[18:02] Taichi**
*So...*
**[18:09] Voice**
...want power?
**[18:12] Voice**
Do you want power?
**[18:16] Taichi**
Yeah, I want it.
**[18:17] Taichi**
I want power.
**[18:19] Taichi**
I want the power to protect Rin and Muller.
**[18:22] Voice**
Then I'll lend it to you.
**[18:26] Taichi**
Huh?
**[18:27] Voice**
But remember, this time is an exception.
**[18:31] Voice**
I'm breaking the rules to do this,
so I imagine it'll be as painful as death.
**[18:35] Voice**
Will you take it, knowing that?
**[18:38] Taichi**
Yeah, I'll take it.
**[18:39] Taichi**
I'll endure anything if it
means pulverizing that guy.
**[18:42] Taichi**
Please lend me your power.
**[18:47] Voice**
All right, I'll lend it to you.
**[18:52] Voice**
My name is Aerial.
**[18:54] Voice**
I'm the Wind Spirit, Aerial.
**[18:57] Taichi**
Aerial...
**[19:06] Rin**
Taichi!
**[19:16] Cassim**
Impossible!
**[19:17] Cassim**
He can still stand?!
**[19:19] Grammy**
Hey, what's going on with him?
**[19:22] Cassim**
Red Elemental!
**[19:37] Rin**
Taichi?
**[19:41] Taichi**
Yeah, this is practically cheating.
**[19:44] Taichi**
After taking that hit,
I'm completely unscathed.
**[19:48] Taichi**
To be honest, it only felt
like a kitten playing with me.
**[19:52] Cassim**
Red Elemental!
**[19:55] Taichi**
You said you would defile
Rin and Muller, didn't you?
**[20:00] Taichi**
I'm going to kick your ass for sure!
**[20:06] Cassim**
F-Fire!
**[20:21] Grammy**
Seriously?
**[20:23] Cassim**
He used wind to wipe out the
Red Elemental along with its attack?!
**[20:29] Taichi**
Don't run.
**[20:31] Taichi**
I told you.
**[20:32] Taichi**
I'm going to kick your ass for sure!
**[20:38] Aerial**
*This time is an exception.*
**[20:40] (Flashback) Aerial**
I'm breaking the rules to do this,
so I imagine it'll be as painful as death.
**[20:45] Both**
Taichi!
**[20:46] Taichi**
What? Don't mess with me!
**[20:48] Taichi**
I... I...
**[20:51] Taichi**
That...
**[20:52] Taichi**
Damn it!
**[21:01] Cassim**
He got me there.
**[21:03] Grammy**
Pretty pathetic,
getting beaten back like that.
**[21:06] Grammy**
So did you achieve your goal?
**[21:09] Cassim**
Yes.
**[21:11] Cassim**
That young man is more than we anticipated.
**[21:15] Grammy**
He's a monster.
**[21:18] Grammy**
His power was clearly beyond human.
**[21:23] Grammy**
This is exciting.
**[21:24] Grammy**
It looks like things are
about to get chaotic.
**[21:27] Grammy**
Right, Cassim?
**[23:05] Anastasia**
Is that really true?
**[23:07] Anastasia**
I'm not as soft as some adventurers.
**[23:19] Miro**
We made a lot.
**[23:21] Mero**
Yeah.
**[23:22] Mero**
They ate a lot and gave birth to a lot.
**[23:25] Miro**
It's almost time
**[23:27] Mero**
for the festival to begin.
**[23:30] Miro**
I can't wait.
**[23:31] Mero**
I can't wait!
