Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [00:02] Flick     Send them one by one?! [00:04] Nole     Yes. Sophia's orders. [00:07] Nole     She told us to send in the     transmogrified phantoms one by one. [00:12] Joe     What the hell is she thinking? [00:14] Joe     That's essentially begging for     them to be defeated individually. [00:19] Flick     In the end, she's only a scientist. [00:21] Flick     She doesn't know what a     real battle is all about! [00:26] Flick     Call her here immediately! [00:28] Nole     She went out to check the defense systems, [00:31] Nole     and she's not answering her     Sounding Stone either. [00:34] Flick     What?! [00:35] Flick     We're up against Thousand Tricks here! [00:37] Flick     We can take all the precautions we want, [00:39] Flick     but if the leader is incompetent,     we can even lose this easy fight! [00:44] Joe     Flick, even though our mentor said     that he gives her full authority, [00:48] Joe     winning is what is crucial here. [00:52] Flick     That's right. [00:53] Flick     At this rate, she will embarrass our mentor. [00:57] Flick     Let all the phantoms loose! [00:59] Flick     We'll crush them in one go! [01:01] Both     Yes, sir! [01:02] Flick(M)     Sophia Black. [01:04] Flick(M)     I'll show you how to do battle. [01:11] Sven     So these are the guys who     made that slime-like thing... [01:16] Gark     It only took a single injection     to create such a monster, huh? [01:22] Sitri     Let us get right to the point. [01:24] Sitri     Your boss is the Master of Mages, correct? [01:28] Sitri     My name is Sitri Smart. [01:30] Sitri     We can guarantee your safety, so please     tell us where he can be found. [01:35] Hos     A-As if we'd tell you! [01:37] Tage     We'll happily give our lives for our mentor! [01:41] Sitri     I knew it. [01:42] Sitri     You're Noctus Cochlear's disciples. [01:45] Sitri     I'll have you know that I've been     following the Akashic Tower for a long time. [01:50] Sitri     I know about you as well. [01:52] Sitri     I don't want to have to     use uncivilized measures. [01:55] Sitri     Where is Noctus Cochlear? [02:00] Sitri     I see. [02:02] Sitri     Why don't I use this, then? [02:05] Sitri     This potion should     loosen your tongue a bit. [02:08] Adoria     Stop right there, Sitri Smart. [02:09] Adoria     Isn't that an illegal potion? [02:12] Adoria     It can muddle someone's consciousness,     force a confession, or erase memories. [02:16] Adoria     It can also potentially be used     for brainwashing. It's very dangerous! [02:19] Adoria     Don't tell me you concocted this yourself? [02:22] Sitri     That's irrelevant. If we don't hurry,     Noctus Cochlear will get away. [02:27] Sitri     This is for justice. [02:29] Gark     Easy, Adoria. [02:31] Gark     Sitri. [02:32] Gark     I understand where you're coming from, [02:35] Gark     but you can't just do whatever     you want to prisoners. [02:39] Gark     We're not criminals. [02:41] Gark     You, of all people, should     understand that the most. [02:44] Sitri     Excuse me, sir. [02:46] Sitri     It was a joke. [02:48] Sitri     This really is just colored water. [02:56] Sitri     See? Nothing happened. [03:00] Sitri     I'm fine. [03:02] Sitri     I mean, I do have a resistance     against colored water. [03:06] Sitri     More importantly, [03:08] Sitri     it seems we've run out of time. [03:39] Sitri     "Perfect Play." [03:41] Sitri     This isn't your ordinary water pistol. [03:43] Sitri     It's a relic given to me     by someone important. SIGN    Episode 08 SIGN    I Want to Rush In When It's Over [03:46] Krai     "I Want to Rush In When It's Over." SIGN    Let This Grieving Soul Retire [04:25] Hos     It's finally time! [04:26] Hos     This is the end for you all! [04:28] Hos     A bunch of useless hunters     standing in the way of progress. [04:31] Hos     Just die already! [04:35] Sven     You were right. [04:37] Sven     It wasn't just that one. [04:39] Sven     So now what do we do? [04:40] Sitri     There are several types of magic     barrier that these phantoms can have. [04:44] Sitri     We need to narrow down which element     works on which area in order to break it down. [04:51] Sven     You sound downright relaxed. [04:54] Lyle     It's faster than the previous one! [04:56] Sven     The color's different, too. [04:57] Sitri     This means its base is likely different. [04:59] Sitri     Those with shields,     please take to the front line! [05:03] Lyle     What? [05:04] Sitri     This is necessary to determine the     force field's output and direction. [05:07] Sitri     Please let go as soon as contact     is made with the shield. [05:11] Sitri     Otherwise, it could rip off your arm! [05:13] Lyle     Are you serious? [05:14] Lyle     This really is just like he said. [05:20] Sven     Lyle! [05:23] Sven     Lyle! [05:24] Sitri     Mages, please slow it down! [05:28] Sitri     It's a revolving force field. [05:30] Sitri     It turns clockwise. [05:32] Sitri     Varies by body part? [05:33] Sitri     If it blows you away with just one touch, [05:36] Sitri     melee fighters don't have a chance. [05:38] Gark     So it would do that to my axe, too? [05:41] Gark     What are we going to do? [05:42] Gark     Wait until it runs out of magic? [05:44] Sitri     No. [05:45] Sitri     Considering its size and the     amount of mana material it has, [05:48] Sitri     it could easily last another hour. [05:50] Sven     What a huge pain. [05:52] Sven     Now I see why Krai wanted to send Ark here. [05:56] Sitri     If we concentrate all our magical attacks     on one spot and hit it multiple times, [05:59] Sitri     or if we can temporarily nullify     part of the magic barrier, [06:03] Sitri     we could get through. [06:05] Sitri     But that would require     an extremely high level of skill. [06:08] Sitri     And with this current crew... [06:09] Sven     The next one's coming! [06:13] Gein     There's more?! [06:16] Henrik     Seriously, now? [06:18] Sven     Sitri, let's retreat. [06:20] Sven     Our people are exhausted. [06:22] Sven     We can't hold out any longer. [06:24] Gark     Running away won't be easy, either. [06:26] Gark     Even if we call in the mages for     reinforcement, it might be too late. [06:31] Sitri     You're right. [06:32] Sitri     I'm so done with this. [06:34] Sitri     I never thought people this stupid     would be in the Akashic Tower. [06:38] Both     What? [06:39] Sitri     Mages, stop the magical attacks. [06:41] Sitri     Everyone, step back. [06:58] Gark     What is going on? [07:00] Sitri     It's just as I expected. [07:01] Sitri     They probably attacked the hunters [07:04] Sitri     in order to replenish their depleting     levels of mana material. [07:08] Sitri     And the thing here with even more     mana material than the hunters is... [07:12] Sven     Now I get it. [07:13] Sven     Phantoms are masses of mana material. [07:42] Gark     The only word for this is "asinine." [07:45] Sven     Not sure if we're lucky or what. [07:47] Tage     I can't believe it! [07:48] Tage     The fruit of our great research... [07:50] Hos     The transmogrified phantoms      have such a weakness?! [07:54] Talia     Why... [07:55] Talia     didn't they just send them     in one after another? [08:00] Noctus     I'm sick of your utter stupidity! [08:04] Noctus     I told you to treat Sophia's     words as if they were my own. [08:09] Noctus     To make matters worse,     you didn't realize your mistake [08:11] Noctus     and used up all the     transmogrification potion! [08:14] Flick     P-Please forgive us. [08:16] Nole     We had no idea what had     happened on the battlefield. [08:19] Sophia     Why did I choose not to send multiple     transmogrified phantoms at once? [08:24] Sophia     If you think about it, it's obvious. [08:27] Sophia     It's not that I lack experience in battle, [08:29] Sophia     nor am I giving out random directives. [08:32] Sophia     Flick, you simply lack     what we call "imagination." [08:38] Noctus     Oh, well. [08:39] Noctus     That was not the only weapon in our arsenal. [08:42] Noctus     What is our next move, Sophia? [08:45] Sophia     The situation has already changed. [08:48] Sophia     Not only has Sitri Smart     joined the investigation party, [08:52] Sophia     but a former level 7 hunter,     Gark Welter, has as well. [08:56] Noctus     What?! [08:57] Joe     The Association's branch manager     has come to the front lines? [08:59] Sophia     Though he is long retired, he is     unmistakably one of the true heroes. [09:04] Sophia     Now that we have lost     the transmogrification potions, [09:07] Sophia     our fight is going to be more difficult. [09:09] Flick     Sophia, why you... [09:10] Noctus     Stop it, Flick. [09:12] Noctus     You embarrass yourself. [09:13] Flick     F-Forgive me. I just... [09:15] Noctus     So what do we do now? [09:17] Noctus     Do we retreat? [09:19] Sophia     No. [09:20] Sophia     We cannot walk away from this empty-handed. [09:24] Sophia     That would influence your standing     within the Akashic Tower as well. [09:28] Sophia     Most importantly, our side     has had hostages taken. [09:31] Sophia     We don't know when they'll talk [09:33] Flick     How dare you, Sophia?! [09:35] Flick     Those two are also seekers of truth who     have sworn their loyalty to our mentor! [09:39] Flick     They will reveal nothing! [09:41] Sophia     I would also like for that to be true. [09:45] Sophia     But even without those     two spilling anything, [09:48] Sophia     Sitri Smart will eventually     find our headquarters. [09:51] Sophia     Given that fact, it'll be a full-on battle     where we have to strike first to win. [09:56] Sophia     Let us use the Malice     Eaters to overpower them. [09:59] Sophia     We'll draw the survivors into our reach,     use our trump cards, and destroy them all. [10:03] Sophia     If we kill them all,     there will be no one left to talk. [10:08] Noctus     An interesting idea. [10:09] Noctus     But the Malice Eaters are     still only partially trained. [10:13] Noctus     For the best results, we'll need     someone to command them. [10:17] Sophia     Flick, it's finally time for you to shine. [10:21] Sophia     You're welcome to utilize     all of the creatures. [10:23] Sophia     Please feel free to fully     unleash your power. [10:27] Sophia     I truly cannot imagine a mage of your     skill failing to succeed if you do. [10:31] Flick     I know! [10:33] Flick     Sir, I promise that I will     teach those hunters a lesson! [10:51] Talia(M)     Sitri Smart. [10:53] Talia(M)     A rare breed amongst hunters. [10:55] Talia(M)     An alchemist, just like me. [10:58] Talia(M)     Fitting of her former second name, "The Prodigy," [11:03] Talia(M)     she was a person overflowing with     overwhelming talent and passion. [11:08] Talia(M)     She was a born genius and a hard worker. [11:13] Talia(M)     In order to get closer to the truth, [11:15] Talia(M)     she was willing to conduct any experiment,     no matter how dangerous or difficult. [11:19] Talia(M)     She never gave up, no matter     how daunting the situation, [11:22] Talia(M)     doing everything she could     within the confines of the law. [11:26] Talia(M)     She was so extraordinarily smart and pure [11:30] Talia(M)     that I remember feeling     something akin to fear [11:33] Talia(M)     and a tiny bit of jealousy next to her. [11:36] Talia(M)     I could never become her. [11:41] Sven     Something on your mind? [11:44] Talia     Sven... [11:45] Sven     This afternoon was really intense. [11:47] Sven     I never would've guessed that the     anti-slime stuff wouldn't work. [11:50] Sven     I must have embarrassed you, too. [11:52] Talia     Oh, not at all. [11:54] Sven     The problem is that Krai always     leaves out vital information. [11:58] Sven     Like saying something is "slime-like"     when it's not a true slime at all. [12:02] Sven     He really needs to rein in     this Thousand Trials thing. [12:06] Talia     That's true. [12:08] Sven     So, I've been wondering this the entire time, [12:11] Sven     but why do they keep staring at you? [12:14] Talia     Um, I don't really know. [12:17] Sven     Maybe because your hair stands out? [12:20] Sven     Well, anyway, if anything happens,     let me know right away. [12:23] Talia     I will. [12:28] Talia     What...? [12:33] Gark     Don't push yourself too hard, Sitri. [12:36] Sitri     Gark. [12:41] Gark     We may have mobilized a great many hunters,     but this is still just an investigation. [12:47] Gark     If we're up against the Akashic Tower, [12:49] Gark     this isn't something that the     Association can handle by itself. [12:54] Gark     Depending on their next moves, [12:56] Gark     we should avoid overextending     and pull back for a— [12:58] Sitri     I have figured out the rough     location of the enemy. [13:00] Gark     What? [13:04] Sitri     Well, anyway... [13:06] Sitri     By considering the flow of the ley lines,     the concentration of mana material, [13:10] Sitri     the difference in altitude     and geological features, [13:13] Sitri     and where the slime-like things appeared, [13:15] Sitri     this cliff here seems to be     a very likely place. [13:18] Adoria     Such an in-depth analysis in such     a short time, all by yourself. [13:22] Adoria     This is unbelievable. [13:23] Sven     Well, that's Sitri. [13:25] Sitri     So, did I get it right, [13:29] Sitri     disciples of Noctus Cochlear? [13:31] Hos     Th-That's pure conjecture,     and it's completely wrong! [13:35] Tage     Totally off! That's not even     remotely where it is! [13:39] Sitri     Looks like I guessed correctly, then. [13:41] Sitri     It would even be possible to attack before     Noctus Cochlear has a chance to escape. [13:45] Sven     If we've come this far,     we should give it a shot. [13:49] Gark     Yeah. [13:49] Hos     S-Stop it! [13:51] Hos     There's nothing there! [13:53] Hos     Our mentor isn't there! [13:55] Tage     We can't let them go over there! [13:57] Tage     Sophia, hurry and untie our restraints! [13:59] Sven     Sophia? [14:01] Sven     Who's that? [14:02] Marietta     Who knows? [14:03] Henrik     It must be one of their friends nearby. [14:05] Sitri     That's right. [14:07] Sitri     If she'd just come out already,     things would be easier. [14:10] Gark     Do you know her? [14:12] Sitri     I do. [14:13] Sitri     She's Noctus Cochlear's     disciple and my nemesis. [14:18] Sitri     Sophia Black. [14:20] Sitri     No matter how hard I look for her,     she is as elusive as a shadow. [14:25] Sitri     If we don't apprehend Noctus and Sophia,     this kind of research will never end. [14:30] Sitri     Simply put, those two together are     the vilest and most evil mages of them all. [14:35] Tage     As if Sophia would ever     lose to the likes of you! [14:38] Hos     She may be an infuriating     woman, but she's got skills! [14:41] Hos     A level 2 failure like you stands no chance! [14:44] Sitri     It is my ineptitude that has allowed     her to evade capture until now. [14:49] Sitri     But I will not lose. [14:51] Sitri     I swear on my honor that I will slam     her into the South Isteria prison! [14:56] Gark     Sitri... you... [14:58] Sitri     It doesn't bother me. [15:01] Sitri     I am not blameless for that one case. [15:07] Liz     Krai, I love you! [15:11] Krai(M)     I wanted to go even later, [15:12] Krai(M)     showing up when basically     everything was already done. [15:17] Liz     Let's hurry up and go! [15:18] Liz     Get moving before Si dies! [15:20] Krai     She's not going to die. [15:22] Krai(M)     If anyone's dying, it's me. [15:24] Krai(M)     I couldn't charge any of my relics. [15:26] Krai(M)     I don't have enough Safety Rings, either. [15:29] Krai(M)     I'm in a pickle before we even start. [15:31] Tino     Master, we're coming up     on the White Wolf's Den. [15:34] Krai     What? [15:38] Krai(M)     I can't see a thing. [15:40] Liz     Come on, let's go. [15:41] Tino     Master, it's dark and dangerous,     so I was thinking I could... [15:44] Tino     take your hand... [15:46] Liz     How dare you?! [15:48] Liz     It'll be a million light years before     you're worthy to hold his hand! [15:52] Liz     Save the dreams for bedtime! [15:53] Liz     Actually, shut up and go to sleep! [15:55] Krai     Liz. [15:56] Krai     Light years are a measure     of distance, not time. [16:00] Krai(M)     Owl's Eye. [16:03] Krai(M)     This should do the trick for now. [16:06] Krai(M)     I don't know how long this     relic will hold up, though. [16:09] Liz     Just leave it to me, Krai! [16:12] Liz     No matter who or what comes     at us, I'll kill 'em dead! [16:16] Liz     You need to guard him, too! [16:18] Tino & Liz     Y-Yes! [16:18] Tino & Liz     Not that I know what a useless     shit like you could even do! [16:21] Krai(M)     That reminds me. [16:22] Krai(M)     Sitri said something about the entire     investigation party getting wiped out. [16:26] Krai(M)     I wonder if they're okay... [16:29] Gein     I see. So Thousand Tricks isn't coming. [16:33] Gein     The level 8 that you and     Obsidian Cross look up to... [16:38] Gein     If only I had recognized     his greatness earlier, [16:40] Gein     I wouldn't have ended up like this. [16:43] Sitri     Krai is basically someone who was     born to become a treasure hunter. [16:48] Sitri     I'm sure he'll eventually get to level 10. [16:51] Gein     Level 10?! [16:53] Gein     Now I want to meet him even more. [16:55] Gein     He must be really strong. [16:57] Sitri     He is. [16:58] Sitri     But strength is just one of many factors. [17:02] Sitri     Even if Krai was hypothetically weaker than     a sand rabbit in combat, it wouldn't matter. [17:08] Gein     A sand rabbit? [17:11] Rabbit     Bun bun? [17:13] Gein     I don't think I quite understand. [17:16] Sitri     That's just how amazing he is. [17:18] Sven     Speaking of, Sitri. [17:19] Sven     You didn't bring that magical creature     you always have with you today? [17:24] Sitri     Oh, if you mean Killiam, he's     undergoing maintenance right no— [17:40] Flick     See that? [17:41] Flick     That's my high-level magic attack, [17:43] Flick     Calamity Thunder! [17:45] Flick     You don't need that woman's defense     system as long as I'm around. [17:55] Flick     Looks like I used a bit too much mana, [17:57] Flick     but my spells kill in one hit, anyway. [18:00] Flick     Killing the entire investigation     party will make my mentor happy t— [18:04] Sven     You bastard... [18:06] Sven     So you're with the Akashic Tower! [18:08] Flick     I guess you hunters are tough.     I'll give you that much. [18:12] Flick     But it's over now. [18:13] Flick     I'll bury you, along with the humiliation     that woman inflicted upon me! [18:18] Sitri     I can't believe it. [18:21] Sitri     You used an area-of-effect     spell when we have hostages. [18:25] Sitri     I kind of knew I was no replacement for Krai. [18:30] Flick     Y-You! [18:31] Flick     Didn't you get hit by my Calamity Thunder? [18:34] Sitri     Let me reply with a question: why do you     think that spell would render me immobile? [18:39] Sitri     Spells of that level aren't rare in the     high-level treasure vaults we frequent. [18:44] Flick     Lies! [18:46] Flick     You're saying my trump card—     that my Calamity Thunder... [18:49] Flick     is nothing special? [18:53] Sitri     It means that you simply lack     what we call "imagination." [19:25] Sven     B-Branch Manager! [19:28] Gark     Sorry I took so long. [19:30] Sitri     Those with healing spells, please get to it! [19:33] Sitri     If any hearts stopped     beating, give them a kick! [19:35] Sitri     Please hurry! [19:38] Gark     I can't believe Sitri shoots     pressurized potion to heal people. [19:44] Sven     Clever use of a water pistol. [19:49] Noctus     That idiot! [19:52] Noctus     Sophia told him to take     all the Malice Eaters! [19:57] Noctus     Why did he only take one?! [19:59] Noctus     Why can he not follow a single command?! [20:01] Noctus     Does he still not see the     difference in ability?! [20:03] Joe     Even with Flick's Calamity Thunder,     the damage to their troop was minimal. [20:07] Joe     It seems they keep marching on. [20:11] Joe     Everything is running counter      to our expectations. [20:14] Joe     The transmogrified phantoms were     defeated, our location was easily deduced, [20:17] Joe     and not even Calamity Thunder was effective. [20:19] Joe     It's as if Thousand Tricks had engineered     everything to turn out like this. [20:24] Noctus     Those insufferable hunters! [20:26] Nole     Sir, you at least need to escape. [20:28] Nole     We'll hold them off using     the remaining Malice Eaters. [20:33] Noctus     Not yet. [20:35] Noctus     We've still got an ace up our sleeves. [20:38] Noctus     We have Akasha. [20:39] Noctus     Not to mention, we still have Sophia. [20:42] Noctus     We have no need to abandon this     place until we've completely lost.
