**[00:04] Lionel**
Man, this stress is gonna make me go bald.
**[00:08] Cheborg**
But the nobles agreed to offer you a loan.
**[00:11] Lionel**
That's what's stressing me out.
**[00:15] Lionel**
They'll keep telling me what to do,
so I can't run things how I want.
**[00:20] Charlotte**
The priests of Vienna's cult say her mercy
**[00:22] Charlotte**
spreads throughout the
heavens and fills the earth.
**[00:26] Charlotte**
If that's true, then why are there
still people suffering in poverty?
**[00:31] Charlotte**
The age of Vienna's cult and the Rhodesian
Empire in its thrall is coming to an end.
**[00:36] Charlotte**
It is not some goddess
who will save us. It is man.
**[00:40] Charlotte**
The teachings of the great Solomon,
**[00:43] Charlotte**
who ruled over the demon kings and
commanded monsters, are our only salvation.
**[00:48] Mob**
Solomon!
**[00:50] Charlotte**
These are talismans of the great Solomon.
**[00:50] Mob**
Down with the nobles!
**[00:53] Mob**
Solomon!
**[00:53] Charlotte**
I'm offering them at the
low price of twenty copper coins.
**[00:57] Mob**
I'll take one!
**[00:57] Cheborg**
What's going on?
**[00:58] Mob**
I want one, too!
**[00:59] Cheborg**
Those seals don't look magical at all.
**[01:02] Lionel**
It's a religious scam.
**[01:06] Captain**
How dare you disrupt
public order, lawbreaker!
**[01:09] Captain**
Arrest them!
**[01:11] Charlotte**
I have no cure for fools.
**[01:20] Captain**
I can't breathe...
**[01:22] Charlotte**
It was folly to defy the great Solomon.
**[01:25] Cheborg**
Okay, haven't you gone far enough?
**[01:28] Charlotte**
Wh-What?
**[01:30] Charlotte**
Byaku!
**[01:44] Byaku**
Hey, are you all right, Saintess?
**[01:47] Charlotte**
Byaku, you idiot!
**[01:48] Charlotte**
You're supposed to keep people
like that way from me!
**[01:52] Byaku**
Either way, we're getting out of here.
**[01:54] Byaku**
I'm not fighting two former S-rankers.
**[02:05] Cheborg**
That was teleportation magic!
**[02:07] Lionel**
Only a handful of mages can
cast such high-level spells.
**[02:12] Lionel**
Just who were they...

Episode 5 "The Road to Bordeaux"
**[03:56] Mob**
Welcome!
**[04:02] Miriam**
The spring festival is so much fun.
**[04:05] Anessa**
Yeah.
**[04:06] Belgrieve**
Are you two enjoying yourselves?
**[04:08] Miriam**
Yes.
**[04:10] Anessa**
You still can't get that off?
**[04:16] Belgrieve**
I'm sorry, okay?
Could you let go of me already?
**[04:22] Ange**
No! I still don't forgive you!
**[04:25] Hoffman**
Wow, Bel. That's one huge baby.
**[04:28] Belgrieve**
Chief.
**[04:29] Hoffman**
Everyone's finally agreed that we
can fix up the road to Bordeaux.
**[04:36] Belgrieve**
That's great news.
**[04:38] Hoffman**
Now we can triumphantly
respond to the countess.
**[04:42] Hoffman**
Speaking of, Bel,
**[04:43] Hoffman**
I'd like you to deliver this to her.
**[04:47] Belgrieve**
Me?
**[04:49] Hoffman**
You're skilled, but most importantly,
Countess Bordeaux trusts you.
**[04:54] Belgrieve**
I see. Very well.
**[04:57] Hoffman**
Thanks.
**[04:58] Angeline**
When are you going?
**[04:59] Hoffman**
Soon would be best.
**[05:01] Angeline**
In that case, you should come with us
when we go to Orphen, Dad!
**[05:06] Belgrieve**
Then that's what I'll do.
**[05:08] Belgrieve**
I'll have you girls protect me.
**[05:11] Angeline**
All right! When shall we depart?
**[05:13] Belgrieve**
I could do tomorrow.
**[05:15] Belgrieve**
But don't you want to say
in Turnera a little longer?
**[05:17] Angeline**
I'd much rather go on a journey with you!
**[05:22] Angeline**
Hey!
**[05:23] Angeline**
Tomorrow we're heading back
to Orphen with my dad!
**[05:27] Miriam**
What? Mr. Bel, you're
coming out of retirement?
**[05:30] Belgrieve**
No, not at all. I'm running an
errand for the village chief.
**[05:34] Anessa**
I see. That's too bad.
**[05:37] Angeline**
Now that it's decided,
let's head home and prepare!
**[05:50] Belgrieve**
I'm going out. Be good while I'm gone.
**[05:54] Belgrieve**
Now then...
**[05:55] Angeline**
Dad, are you all ready?
**[05:58] Belgrieve**
Yeah, let's be off.
Look after the place while I'm gone.
**[06:01] Kerry**
Sure thing. Go enjoy yourself.
**[06:04] Kerry**
Bring back souvenirs.
**[06:06] Belgrieve**
I'm not going there to have fun.
**[06:42] Anessa**
We'll be in Bordeaux soon.
I hope the sky doesn't open.
**[06:53] Belgrieve**
I'm glad we made it, but would it be
rude to show up soaked like this?
**[06:58] Anessa**
We can visit tomorrow.
**[07:06] Belgrieve**
They only had open seats at the counter.
Business must be booming.
**[07:06] Miriam**
What should I get?
**[07:08] Anessa**
Everything looks so good. What about this?
**[07:10] Angeline**
I'm hungry. What do you want, Dad?
**[07:11] Miriam**
Sounds good. Let's get some of this.
**[07:13] Anessa**
You want that?
**[07:13] Miriam**
It'll be great! I promise!
**[07:15] Anessa**
Should we order some, then?
**[07:16] Miriam**
Yeah!
**[07:16] Belgrieve**
Say, could I get some ale and anchovies?
**[07:21] Belgrieve**
Huh? What?
**[07:26] Belgrieve**
Wh-What is this?
**[07:28] Angeline**
You put them on the bread, like this.
**[07:41] Angeline**
Those aren't for beginners, Dad!
**[07:44] Miriam**
They're super salty and have a unique smell.
**[07:49] Belgrieve**
You should've warned me beforehand.
**[07:52] Anessa**
I'm sorry. Some people like them,
so I thought you might.
**[07:56] Charlotte**
You don't appreciate
the appeal of anchovies?
**[07:59] Charlotte**
Listen here, Byaku.
**[08:01] Charlotte**
Anyone who calls them salty or smelly
might as well be saying what a hick they are.
**[08:07] Byaku**
Whatever. You're only used to them
because you're from Lucrecia.
**[08:12] Byaku**
That stuff is gross.
**[08:14] Belgrieve**
*Lucrecia, huh?*
**[08:16] Belgrieve**
*They're so young, yet so far from home.*
**[08:20] Belgrieve**
*Vestments?*
**[08:22] Belgrieve**
* Come to think of it, the head temple*
* of the cult of Vienna is in Lucrecia.*
**[08:27] Charlotte**
Gracious. What am I even doing
out here in the middle of nowhere?
**[08:33] Byaku**
Shut up. You talk too much.
**[08:37] Charlotte**
That's enough, Byaku! How dare you speak to your master that way?!
**[08:45] Charlotte**
Th-Thank...
**[08:49] Charlotte**
M-Mind your own business!
**[08:52] Belgrieve**
Huh?
**[08:53] Charlotte**
Nobody asked for your help!
**[08:56] Charlotte**
Let go! Unhand me at—
**[08:59] Byaku**
Forgive her for being so unsociable.
**[09:01] Byaku**
Sorry for the trouble. Let's go, Saintess.
**[09:06] Angeline**
Someone you know?
**[09:08] Belgrieve**
No.
**[09:09] Gort**
What was that?!
**[09:11] Gort**
Just who do you think you are?!
**[09:14] Gort**
I'm the great Gort the Thunderbolt!
**[09:16] Anessa**
All I see is a big fish
in a small pond acting up.
**[09:19] Anessa**
I've met plenty of guys like you.
**[09:22] Gort**
Screw you!
**[09:23] Gort**
I won't go easy 'cause you're a woman!
**[09:29] Anessa**
You'll die young if you go picking fights
**[09:32] Anessa**
when you can't gauge your opponents,
Mr. Thunderbolt.
**[09:35] Mob**
You heard her!
**[09:37] Mob**
Get him, girlie!
**[09:38] Anessa**
Guys like him give adventurers a bad name.
**[09:42] Angeline**
So a swordsman lost to Anessa the archer?
**[09:45] Angeline**
Do people really call him by that title?
**[09:48] Bartender**
Obviously not.
**[09:51] Bartender**
He's C-ranker who gave himself that nickname.
**[09:55] Angeline**
Lame.
**[09:57] Belgrieve**
Angeline, you of all people—
**[09:59] Customer A**
Boy, that was satisfying!
**[10:02] Customer A**
You laid Gort's annoying hide
out with one blow!
**[10:05] Customer B**
You must be a pretty strong adventurer.
**[10:08] Customer B**
What's your rank?
**[10:09] Anessa**
She and I are Triple A.
**[10:11] Miriam**
Heck yeah!
**[10:11] Anessa**
And the girl with the
black hair over there is S.
**[10:15] Customer 1**
What? She's rank S?
**[10:17] Customer 2**
Wait, don't tell me you're
the Black-Haired Valkyrie.
**[10:21] Customer 2**
What? The demon king slayer?
**[10:24] Angeline**
I suppose.
**[10:25] Customer 5**
Let me treat you!
**[10:27] Customer 6**
Me too, me too!
**[10:29] Angeline**
I can't eat all of this.
**[10:32] Belgrieve**
Neither can your old man.
**[10:34] Customer 1**
What? You're her dad?
**[10:37] Customer 2**
That red hair...
**[10:38] Customer 3**
The peg leg...
**[10:40] Customer 3**
Are you Belgrieve the Red Ogre?
**[10:46] Angeline**
Yes! My dad is Belgrieve the Red—
**[10:49] Belgrieve**
A-Ange.
**[10:51] Angeline**
Sorry...
**[10:54] Sasha**
I knew it!
**[10:56] Sasha**
I flew right over when I heard
rumors that you were here.
**[11:00] Sasha**
I would've come to meet you
if you'd told me you were coming.
**[11:03] Angeline**
We were filthy and wet from the rain,
so we decided to visit tomorrow.
**[11:08] Sasha**
The Bordeaux family owes you a great deal.
**[11:10] Sasha**
We don't mind if you're wet or filthy.
**[11:15] Angeline**
What should we do?
**[11:17] Anessa**
If they're inviting us over, then why not?
**[11:19] Miriam**
We get to sleep at a mansion, right?
**[11:21] Miriam**
I bet their beds are fluffy!
**[11:24] Angeline**
What say you, Dad?
**[11:26] Belgrieve**
Well, I am here to deliver a letter.
**[11:30] Belgrieve**
Now that we've been invited,
we have no reason to decline.
**[11:34] Sasha**
In that case, come with me, everyone.
**[11:40] Belgrieve**
It's really coming down.
**[11:44] Angeline**
I feel so funny in flowy clothes.
**[11:49] Belgrieve**
You're just not used to it.
**[11:51] Belgrieve**
It looks great on you.
**[11:52] Angeline**
Really? In that case, I'm okay with it!
**[11:55] Seren**
I'm so glad you all made it.
**[11:57] Angeline**
Hey, Seren. Have you been well?
**[12:00] Seren**
I have. You're looking well too, Ms. Angeline,
**[12:03] Seren**
Thank you for coming all the way here.
**[12:07] Belgrieve**
We're sorry to impose
in the middle of the night.
**[12:10] Seren**
My sister is waiting for you.
I'll show you to her.
**[12:13] Belgrieve**
Thank you.
**[12:15] Angeline**
I'm going with you.
**[12:17] Angeline**
Helvetica is the one who
tried to drag you off.
**[12:23] Belgrieve**
We're just going to talk about the road.
**[12:26] Angeline**
I'm going with you.
**[12:32] Seren**
Pardon us.
**[12:34] Helvetica**
Mr. Belgrieve!
**[12:40] Helvetica**
Thank you for coming.
**[12:42] Helvetica**
Your gallant figure is
certainly a sight for sore eyes.
**[12:45] Belgrieve**
I'm honored, Countess.
It's good to see you, too.
**[12:48] Belgrieve**
This is my daughter, Angeline.
**[12:50] Helvetica**
So you're Ms. Angeline!
**[12:53] Helvetica**
I cannot thank you enough
for rescuing Seren.
**[12:57] Angeline**
Are you the woman who
wants to be my mother?
**[13:02] Belgrieve**
H-Hey, Ange...
**[13:04] Angeline**
Stay out of this, Dad.
**[13:07] Angeline**
I'll never forgive you for trying to
steal my dad while I was gone.
**[13:11] Angeline**
But it *would* be for the best
if he had someone nice around...
**[13:15] Helvetica**
My! Ms. Angeline, does this mean
**[13:18] Helvetica**
you might accept a relationship
between me and Mr. Belgrieve?
**[13:23] Angeline**
You've lost your mind if you think I'll hand
him over to someone who tried to cart him off.
**[13:28] Angeline**
Don't think you can become
my mom that easily!
**[13:33] Ash**
How dare the likes of you speak to her so?!
**[13:35] Helvetica**
Silence, Ash.
**[13:39] Ash**
B-But...
**[13:40] Helvetica**
You would defy me?
**[13:44] Ash**
Forgive me.
**[13:47] Belgrieve**
You're being rude, too.
**[13:49] Belgrieve**
I won't be having any such
relationship with Lady Helvetica.
**[13:53] Seren**
Enough of this, Sister.
**[13:55] Seren**
You told me you'd already given up on this.
**[13:58] Helvetica**
But, Seren...
**[14:02] Belgrieve**
P-Pardon me.
**[14:03] Belgrieve**
Might we proceed with
the business at hand?
**[14:07] Helvetica**
Forgive me.
**[14:09] Helvetica**
I've read the letter.
**[14:12] Helvetica**
I'm delighted to have your cooperation.
**[14:16] Belgrieve**
Thank you. In that case, we'd like you
to advise us on the specifics of your plan.
**[14:22] Helvetica**
Of course. Could I ask you
to give me some time?
**[14:26] Helvetica**
Something of a troublesome
problem has arisen, you see.
**[14:31] Sign Right**
Rodina
**[14:31] Sign Middle**
Bordeaux
**[14:31] Sign Left**
Hazel
**[14:32] Helvetica**
West of Bordeaux, there is
a small town called Hazel.
**[14:37] Helvetica**
Count Malta, who rules the area,
**[14:39] Helvetica**
has raised objections
to sending laborers elsewhere
**[14:43] Helvetica**
when he's in the middle
of repairing his own roads.
**[14:48] Belgrieve**
That sounds reasonable to me.
**[14:51] Helvetica**
But the construction in Hazel
is already 90 percent complete.
**[14:56] Helvetica**
And we previously agreed that sending workers
on to the next project would be no issue.
**[15:04] Seren**
In other words, he's doing this on purpose.
**[15:06] Sign Top Left**
Hazel
**[15:06] Sign Top Right**
Bordeaux
**[15:06] Sign Middle**
Orphen
**[15:06] Sign Bottom**
Estogal City
**[15:07] Seren**
Count Malta was relegated to
Bordeaux from Estogal's capital city.
**[15:13] Seren**
He apparently lost a struggle for power.
**[15:17] Seren**
Because of this, he scorns Bordeaux
**[15:19] Seren**
as a backwater county
and finds fault in all we do.
**[15:24] Helvetica**
His behavior has escalated
since our father's passing.
**[15:29] Helvetica**
I'm simply not a strong enough leader.
**[15:31] Seren**
Most influential figures are
allied with the Bordeaux family,
**[15:35] Seren**
but some nobles are unhappy
that my sister has taken over.
**[15:42] Helvetica**
We suspect Count Malta is egging them on,
but we have no concrete proof.
**[15:49] Belgrieve**
Sounds like a complicated situation.
**[15:52] Belgrieve**
But I'm not sure you should be
discussing it with outsiders like us.
**[16:00] Helvetica**
I'm terribly sorry.
**[16:03] Sasha**
There you are!
**[16:06] Ash**
Lady Sasha, you are a noble.
Please try to act like one.
**[16:09] Sasha**
Oh, I know!
**[16:11] Sasha**
This man here is Ashcroft.
**[16:14] Sasha**
He may be young,
but he serves the Bordeaux family.
**[16:18] Sasha**
He's inexperienced,
but he's also a swordsman.
**[16:21] Sasha**
Would you be willing to instruct him as well?
**[16:24] Ash**
Kindly refrain. I have no need for training.
**[16:29] Sasha**
Honestly, you're so stubborn.
**[16:32] Helvetica**
Sasha, could you please entertain
Ms. Angeline and Mr. Belgrieve?
**[16:37] Sasha**
Yes, of course.
**[16:38] Helvetica**
Now then, if you don't mind
waiting a bit for my reply,
**[16:43] Helvetica**
please make yourselves at home until then.
**[16:51] Sasha**
I'm thinking about throwing a
small party. What do you think?
**[16:55] Angeline**
Good idea. I'll invite Ane and Miri, too.
**[16:58] Angeline**
What about you, Dad?
**[16:59] Belgrieve**
I might rest a bit.
**[17:03] Sasha**
But I wanted to talk to you, too.
**[17:07] Belgrieve**
I'm sorry. Ange, don't stay up too late.
**[17:11] Angeline**
Okay.
**[17:13] Angeline**
Helvetica isn't nearly maternal
enough to be my mom.
**[17:17] Anessa**
And how would you define "maternal"?
**[17:20] Angeline**
An open heart!
**[17:21] Angeline**
I want to feel enveloped by love.
**[17:23] Miriam**
But that might not be what
Mr. Bel is looking for.
**[17:29] Angeline**
What kind of women do men like?
**[17:33] Anessa**
How should we know?
**[17:36] Anessa**
Women who are kind, maybe?
**[17:38] Miriam**
No way! Most men aren't looking
at what's on the inside.
**[17:43] Sasha**
I-Isn't that a bit extreme?
**[17:46] Miriam**
Hardly. The first thing
men look at are a woman's breasts.
**[17:49] Miriam**
Then her legs, then her face.
**[17:52] Miriam**
Can't you feel them staring
when you're dressed lightly?
**[17:57] Sasha**
I see. I do think I know what
you're talking about.
**[18:01] Miriam**
Right? Especially when
it comes to your chest...
**[18:07] Angeline**
Why did you go quiet
when you looked at me?
**[18:11] Miriam**
I'm sorry, Ange.
**[18:13] Angeline**
Why are you apologizing?
**[18:15] Angeline**
Well, whatever.
You're just saying boobs matter, right?
**[18:19] Miriam**
You bet. Large breasts are
definitely maternal material.
**[18:23] Miriam**
Most men can't resist.
**[18:31] Sasha**
Doesn't that make you
quite motherly, Ms. Miri?
**[18:35] Angeline**
No, not at all.
**[18:37] Anessa**
Not one bit.
**[18:40] Miriam**
That's totally unrelated!
**[18:45] Miriam**
Jeez!
**[18:56] Belgrieve**
I'm still stiff.
**[18:58] Ash**
Impressive.
**[19:00] Ash**
Your form and the precision of your blade
make it hard to believe you have a peg leg.
**[19:05] Belgrieve**
Thank you.
**[19:07] Ash**
But you still don't merit Lady Sasha's praise.
**[19:11] Belgrieve**
Yes, I have to say I agree.
**[19:16] Belgrieve**
I hear you're a swordsman as well.
**[19:19] Ash**
I am. I'm not as good as Lady Sasha,
but I can wield a blade better than you.
**[19:26] Belgrieve**
* I can see why he's upset that his mistress*
* is fawning over a stranger*
**[19:30] Belgrieve**
*who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.*
**[19:32] Belgrieve**
* But he's honestly trying to evaluate my*
* skill rather than being swayed by rumors.*
**[19:38] Belgrieve**
I see. Lady Helvetica must feel safe
with someone like you by her side.
**[19:44] Ash**
Don't flatter me.
**[19:46] Ash**
I don't care if you're the Red Ogre or not.
**[19:48] Ash**
Don't get ahead of yourself.
**[19:50] Belgrieve**
I wouldn't dream of it.
I appreciate the warning.
**[19:54] Sasha**
Good morning, Master.
**[19:56] Sasha**
If you're willing, I'd like to duel.
**[19:59] Belgrieve**
That's fine.
**[20:01] Sasha**
I'll make you go all out against me today!
**[20:04] Ash**
Pardon me, my lady.
**[20:06] Ash**
But I don't believe this man is as
good a swordsman as you say.
**[20:11] Sasha**
What?
**[20:12] Ash**
I'm having trouble believing
you lost to him.
**[20:15] Ash**
He must have played dirty.
**[20:17] Sasha**
Silence! Try beating me
before you talk like that.
**[20:20] Ash**
I couldn't beat you, Lady Sasha.
**[20:23] Ash**
But I wouldn't lose to him.
**[20:27] Sasha**
How dare you insult my instructor?!
**[20:30] Sasha**
Master!
**[20:32] Belgrieve**
Yes?
**[20:33] Sasha**
Please trounce this fool
so he sees the truth.
**[20:38] Belgrieve**
What?
**[20:40] Ash**
Very well. I shall wake
you from your delusions.
**[20:45] Ash**
Come, Red Ogre.
**[20:47] Ash**
I shall defeat you soundly.
**[20:49] Belgrieve**
Uh, okay...
***SIGN*** I've heard rumors of the demon king slayer, too.
**[20:59] Byaku**
You should delay your plans.
**[21:01] Byaku**
It'd be reckless to antagonize both
the Bordeaux family and her, milord.
***SIGN*** Sounds like Solomon wasn't very powerful after all.
**[21:11] Byaku**
If you screw up, your head will roll.
**[21:13] Byaku**
Be patient.
***SIGN*** I'm heading to Bordeaux after this.
**[21:18] Byaku**
Hey, I just told you to delay your plans.
***SIGN*** Delay them to what end?
***SIGN*** I've endured years in this backwater waiting for this day.
***SIGN*** The powerful late Count Bordeaux is no more.
***SIGN*** His daughters may be talented,
***SIGN*** but compared to the wicked nobles in the capital, they're nothing.
***SIGN*** Nobles are different from the common rabble.
***SIGN*** And those girls ingratiate themselves
***SIGN*** by frolicking with commoners and cultivating the land.
***SIGN*** You listen to me. We'll act tonight, just as planned.
***SIGN*** Wealth and power...
***SIGN*** You understand that much, don't you, Saint of Solomon?
