[00:05] Rin
    Still...
[00:09] Rin
    Even so, we'll protect Azpire.
[00:13] Rin
    Even if we fall here,
    I'm sure Taichi will come.
[00:19] Rin
    He'll protect the town and everyone.
[00:24] Rin
    We won't lose to you all.
[00:28] Rin
    Because Taichi is strong!
[00:32] Rin
    I'm sorry, Taichi.
[00:35] Rin
    I wonder why I never said it sooner?
[00:39] Rin
    Thank you for being with me.
[00:45] Rin
    I wanted to at least tell him that...
[00:49] Taichi
    Then...
[00:52] Taichi
    why not just tell me?
[00:55] Rin
    Taichi?
[00:57] Taichi
    Sorry I'm late.
SIGN    Episode 7 Summoner
[02:39] Muller
    Rin!
[02:40] Muller
    Thank goodness!
[02:42] Muller
    Thank goodness!
[02:43] Rin
    Muller...
[02:44] Lemia
    You finally showed up.
[02:46] Taichi
    Sorry. I had to exterminate
    some goblins underground.
[02:50] Taichi
    We can talk later. Watch them.
[02:52] Lemia
    Yeah.
[02:52] Taichi
    Okay.
[02:57] Taichi
    Let's get ready to rumble.
[03:16] Taichi
    Don't underestimate my cheats!
[03:27] Muller
    Incredible.
[03:28] Taichi
    Man, it really is easy to fight opponents
     that are vulnerable to physical attacks.
[03:34] Muller
    Taichi, what was your
    Enhancement level just now?
[03:36] Taichi
    One hundred.
[03:37] Taichi
    I would've been no match for it
    if I didn't go that high.
[03:42] Taichi
    Lemia.
[03:43] Lemia
    What is it?
[03:44] Taichi
    How much of a fight do you think
    you three can keep putting up?
[03:48] Lemia
    If I'm being honest, I'd have
    to say it'll be rather tough.
[03:52] Lemia
    Keeping the status quo
    will be the most we can manage.
[03:55] Lemia
    By the way, who are those children?
[03:58] Miro
    I'm not a child, I'm Milo!
[04:00] Mero
    I'm not a child, I'm Melo!
[04:02] Taichi
    Help.
[04:03] Taichi
    They're earth magicians,
    and they're on our side now.
[04:06] Taichi
    They're more talented than they look.
[04:10] Taichi
    Sorry, but can I ask you to watch my back
    while I take care of these guys?
[04:14] Lemia
    Hmph. Who do you think you're speaking to?
[04:17] Lemia
    Don't worry. Go ahead and cut loose.
[04:19] Miro
    I'll work hard, too!
[04:21] Mero
    I'll work hard, three!
[04:22] Taichi
    Yeah, I'm counting on that.
[04:28] Rin
    Taichi...
[04:30] Taichi
    Rin.
[04:42] Lodra
    I'm amazed.
[04:44] Lodra
    I can't believe he wiped out
    that many goblins in just a single night.
[04:49] Cassim
    He's beyond human at this point.
[04:51] Lodra
    That's why we needed this test.
[04:54] Lodra
    The ploy that will mark this
    festival's finale is already prepared.
[04:58] Lodra
    After all, she has visualized
    every single situation and possibility.
[05:05] Cassim
    And we're just being used as pawns
    to achieve those ends?
[05:09] Lodra
    Yes, we are.
[05:11] Lodra
    Me, you, and them, too.
[05:14] Lodra
    None can oppose her will.
[05:22] Scout
    I have a report!
[05:23] Scout
    The majority of the red monsters
[05:25] ---
    have been quelled by the Mage of
    Falling Leaves's tactical grade magic.
[05:29] Gerard
    Lemia went and unleashed that?
[05:33] Scout
    However, the Red Ogres believed to
    be the commanders were unharmed.
[05:37] Scout
    The Ogres are currently engaged with the
    young adventurer who went to their aid.
[05:41] Gerard
    And what about Taichi? That adventurer?
[05:45] Scout
    He's fighting them with equal... no, even
    greater force, but it's three versus one.
[05:50] Scout
    I don't think we can be optimistic.
[05:59] (Flashback) Taichi
    Ana... Stay here and help the other
    adventurers protect Azpire.
[06:04] (Flashback) Anastasia
    Taichi...
[06:07] (Flashback) Taichi
    I promise I'll be back!
[06:09] Anastasia
    He was the only one.
[06:11] Anastasia
    He was the first to treat me as a person,
[06:14] ---
    as a woman, instead of a tool.
[06:20] Kurt
    Thank you.
[06:21] Anastasia
    Huh? Um?
[06:22] Kurt
    You saved us, young lady.
[06:25] Adelina
    Yes, and when there were so
    many monsters outside, too.
[06:28] Adelina
    Good luck to you.
[06:30] Kurt
    It's to protect this city.
[06:32] Kurt
    I can deal with this.
[06:38] Anastasia
    I've been stained by the
    blood of assassinations,
[06:41] Anastasia
    but if I have a chance to start all over...
[06:47] Anastasia
    I'll believe in you, Taichi.
[06:49] Anastasia
    I'll believe in you,
    since you had faith in me.
[06:56] Anastasia
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[07:29] Rin
    Thunder!
[07:34] Muller
    Red Lotus!
[07:39] Lemia
    Blaze Wave.
[07:51] Both
    Fall Down!
[07:54] Both
    Flame Lance!
[07:59] Miro
    You ladies...
[08:00] Mero
    ...are pretty strong!
[08:02] Lemia
    It's a war of attrition from here.
[08:04] Lemia
    Don't waste your shots.
[08:06] Lemia
    Use your head.
[08:07] Lemia
    We're going to defend Taichi's back!
[08:38] Taichi
    Enhancement Level 100
    sure is pretty draining.
[08:47] Taichi
    Time to finish this.
[08:52] Taichi
    One down...
[09:08] Lemia
    Is this...
[09:09] Muller
    Lemia?
[09:11] Lemia
    Impossible.
[09:13] Lemia
    They never interfere in battles
    between men and monsters.
[09:17] Rin
    They?
[09:18] Miro
    The ones who sleep...
[09:20] Mero
    ...beneath the earth.
[09:58] Lodra
    A Twin-Head Dragon.
[10:00] Cassim
    Your Eminence, you knew?
[10:03] Lodra
    Now all the necessary pieces
    are finally on the board.
[10:08] Lodra
    This is where it really starts.
[10:10] Lodra
    Young man from another world,
[10:13] Lodra
    it's time to gauge your power.
[10:16] Rin
    Taichi!
[10:18] Taichi
    Rin...
[10:19] Rin
    Hey, is that...
[10:21] Taichi
    Hey, all this commotion didn't wake up
    a Dragon sleeping underground, right?
[10:26] Taichi
    That's not it, right?
[10:28] Lemia
    No, they rarely ever leave their own dens.
[10:33] Lemia
    Besides, to Dragons, a war above ground
    is but the flutter of an insect's wings.
[10:38] Lemia
    It's not even worth their attention.
[10:40] Taichi
    And yet for some reason,
    this one has surfaced?
[10:44] Rin
    Taichi, you're not planning
    on fighting it, are you?
[10:47] Muller
    That's just too reckless!
[10:48] Taichi
    But it's not exactly avoidable, is it?
[10:54] Taichi
    Well...
[10:55] Taichi
    It's a retreating battle from here.
[10:58] Taichi
    Lemia...
[10:59] Taichi
    Take everyone back to the city.
[11:02] Taichi
    Prepare for evacuation
    in case the worst happens.
[11:05] Lemia
    Yeah, I understand.
[11:08] Rin
    Muller...
[11:10] Rin
    Please take these children.
[11:14] Muller
    All right.
[11:18] Rin
    Taichi, I'm staying.
[11:22] Rin
    We promised, remember?
[11:23] Rin
    To go home together.
[11:26] Rin
    And not to leave each other alone.
[11:29] Taichi
    All right, have it your way.
[11:32] Rin
    Yeah, I will.
[11:36] Lemia
    Good grief! You apprentices
    sure trouble your master.
[11:40] Muller
    I won't forgive either of you
    if you don't come back!
[11:44] Muller
    I mean it!
[11:48] Taichi
    Well, Rin...
[11:50] Rin
    Yeah.
[11:51] Taichi
    Stay out of this one.
[11:53] Rin
    Your reason?
[11:55] Taichi
    I probably won't have any
    leeway in this battle.
[11:57] Taichi
    If it targets you, then I'll act on reflex.
[12:01] Taichi
    And that will probably be the end for me.
[12:05] Rin
    All right.
[12:07] Taichi
    But thanks.
[12:10] Rin
    Taichi...
[12:19] Dragon
    You're here.
[12:21] Taichi
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[12:25] Taichi
    Aerial, are you there?
[12:32] Taichi
    No use, huh?
[12:34] Taichi
    Was that just a fluke last time?
[12:40] Taichi
    Oh well, then.
[12:42] Taichi
    It'll be an honest, head-on battle!
[12:55] Rin
    Taichi!
[13:02] Rin
    You're telling me to stay out of this?
[13:10] Taichi
    Ow.
[13:14] Taichi
    Jeez, Dragons are seriously strong.
[13:18] Taichi
    It's like I'm an ant
    going up against an elephant.
[13:23] Taichi
    Though that attack just now...
[13:26] Taichi
    That could have been lethal if it wanted,
[13:29] Taichi
    so why did it hold back?
[13:31] Taichi
    Also, why is a dragon getting involved
    in a battle between men and monsters?
[13:36] Anastasia
    Taichi?
[13:39] Taichi
    Ana?!
[13:42] Taichi
    What are you doing here?!
[13:45] Taichi
    This is bad. We need to
    get you treated at once.
[13:48] Taichi
    Wait, why are you here?!
[13:49] Anastasia
    Huh?
[13:56] Anastasia
    Why am I?
[13:59] Anastasia
    I was just...
[14:00] Taichi
    You don't remember?
[14:02] Anastasia
    I don't know.
[14:05] Anastasia
    But I never intended to get in your way.
[14:07] Taichi
    Anyway, it's dangerous here. You need to...
[14:16] Rin
    No!
[14:29] Taichi
    Ana!
[14:30] Taichi
    Ana!
[14:31] Taichi
    Anastasia!
[14:34] Anastasia
    Taichi?
[14:37] Taichi
    Ana...
[14:38] Anastasia
    I'm sorry.
[14:41] Taichi
    It's fine. Don't speak.
[14:42] Taichi
    Just be still.
[14:43] Anastasia
    But it's my fault.
[14:47] Taichi
    Of course it isn't!
[14:48] Taichi
    The fact that you're alive
    right now is plenty.
[14:51] Taichi
    Just wait, I'll finish this up
    and get you to a doctor.
[14:55] Anastasia
    You're so kind...
[15:01] Anastasia
    Taichi...
[15:04] Taichi
    Ana...
[15:09] Anastasia
    Thank you.
[15:13] Anastasia
    You treated me as a human, as a woman.
[15:24] Anastasia
    If...
[15:26] Anastasia
    If I make it out of this alive,
[15:32] ---
    please...
[15:35] Taichi
    Ana?
[15:44] Anastasia
    But I'm sure
[15:47] ---
    these feelings are sadly one-sided.
[15:53] Anastasia
    Will...
[15:55] Anastasia
    Will you be my f-friend?
[16:02] Taichi
    What are you saying? We're already friends!
[16:13] Taichi
    Ana?
[16:23] Taichi
    I couldn't protect her.
[16:28] (Flashback) Taichi
    I won't let you die as long as I'm around.
[16:31] Taichi
    After I said that to her...
[16:33] Taichi
    I thought everything would be fine,
    thanks to my cheats.
[16:37] Taichi
    But I was naïve and didn't
    take anything seriously.
[16:41] Taichi
    In the end, I couldn't do...
[16:48] Taichi
    Hand it over.
[16:51] Taichi
    Hurry up and hand it over.
[16:56] Taichi
    What are you sitting there in silence for?
[16:59] Taichi
    You're right there, aren't you?
[17:02] Taichi
    Then...
[17:05] ---
    Get out here and give me your power, Aerial!
[17:11] Aerial
    Yes, that's the strong
    emotion you needed, Taichi.
[17:30] Taichi
    Why, you!
[17:31] Aerial
    I'm sorry.
[17:34] Taichi
    Why?
[17:35] Aerial
    I really, truly couldn't
    do anything about it!
[17:41] Aerial
    I'm a spirit,
[17:42] Aerial
    and you're a Summoner who
    commands the spirits.
[17:46] Aerial
    Spirits aren't allowed to use their power
    without orders from the caster.
[17:51] Aerial
    That's the law of this world.
[17:53] Aerial
    It's a rule we must never break.
[17:55] Taichi
    But the other day—
[17:57] Aerial
    That was an exception,
[18:00] Aerial
    because your own life was in danger.
[18:03] Aerial
    It wasn't a formal pact.
[18:06] Taichi
    Pact?
[18:09] Aerial
    The caster must order the spirit
    to give them their power,
[18:12] Aerial
    and the caster must have the resolve
    to accept that spirit's power.
[18:16] Aerial
    Those are the two absolute requirements
    for forging a formal pact.
[18:22] Taichi
    Is that how it was?
[18:25] Aerial
    So I'm sorry.
[18:29] Taichi
    No, you're not to blame.
[18:34] Taichi
    It's my fault that I couldn't protect Ana.
[18:38] Taichi
    It's because...
[18:40] Taichi
    I lacked the resolve to accept your power.
[18:44] Aerial
    Taichi...
[18:45] Taichi
    I got what I deserved.
[18:47] Taichi
    I kept calling it a cheat
    and acting full of myself,
[18:51] Taichi
    yet part of me was still scared.
[18:54] Taichi
    Scared of the idea that I could
    wield power beyond mankind.
[19:00] Taichi
    But...
[19:06] Taichi
    Now I understand.
[19:08] Taichi
    I know what I was meant to do in this world.
[19:12] Taichi
    I want the power to protect everyone,
[19:15] Taichi
    so give me your power, Aerial!
[19:19] Aerial
    Of course, my master.
[19:22] Aerial
    Please call me Aery from now on.
[19:30] Rin
    Taichi!
[19:32] Taichi
    Rin...
[19:35] Rin
    Who's this?
[19:37] Taichi
    Please take care of her.
[19:39] Taichi
    She's a precious friend.
[19:55] Taichi
    Rin, I've become a Summoner.
[20:11] Taichi
    Aery, you there?
[20:14] Aery
    Yes.
[20:15] Taichi
    We'll settle this in one blow.
[20:17] Aery
    Yes.
[20:19] Dragon
    Oh, I admire your courage to stand
[20:23] Dragon
    and face me once more after
    withstanding my breath.
[20:27] Taichi
    There's something I want to ask you.
[20:31] Taichi
    Why is a superior species like a
    Dragon intervening in this war?
[20:35] Taichi
    What is your goal?
[20:38] Taichi
    What would make you
    withdraw from this battle?
[20:45] Dragon
    In that case, human child,
    you should show me your true power.
[20:51] Dragon
    Then I shall answer your question
    and leave this place.
[20:57] Taichi
    All right.
[21:00] Dragon
    Here I go.
[21:02] Dragon
    Try withstanding this blow!
[21:26] Taichi
    Why, you...
[21:52] Dragon
    Splendid.
[21:55] Dragon
    I shall answer as you desire.
[21:58] Dragon
    I intervened in this battle
    at the request of a certain individual.
[22:04] Dragon
    The goal was to fight you.
[22:07] Taichi
    Me?
[22:08] Taichi
    What do you mean?
[22:11] Dragon
    I'll offer you a final word of warning.
[22:16] Dragon
    That individual is sure to
    continue guiding you from now on.
[22:21] Taichi
    Guiding me?
[22:23] Dragon
    But that is necessary for both
    this country and this world.
[22:29] Dragon
    I lent that person my power
    because I agree with their beliefs.
[22:38] Dragon
    So be certain you don't forget this.
[22:42] Dragon
    If you wish to protect your treasure,
     then be strong.
[22:52] Taichi
    Strong, huh?
[23:02] Woman
    I see. So the test was a success.
[23:05] Lodra
    Yes, that power...
[23:08] Lodra
    I believe the young man has forged
    a formal pact with a wind spirit.
[23:13] Woman
    Then I must quickly prepare
    his next guidance.
[23:17] Lodra
    As you wish. Preparations are
     steadily underway.
[23:25] Woman
    I can't wait.
[23:26] Woman
    After a town comes... yes,
[23:30] Woman
    a country.
