[00:09] Marguerite
    You don't know when to give up.
[00:20] Marguerite
    Finally.
[00:22] Demon King
    I want to go home.
[00:23] Demon King
    Master... Master...
[00:26] Marguerite
    Oh, I'll send you home...
[00:29] Marguerite
    to oblivion!

    Episode 8 "Meeting the Inhabitants of the Woods"
[02:05] Woman
    Sorry for making you look
    after the kids, Mr. Bel.
[02:10] Belgrieve
    It's no problem at all.
[02:12] Duncan
    Hey!
[02:14] Belgrieve
    Welcome back, Duncan.
[02:16] Belgrieve
    How'd training go?
[02:18] Duncan
    I'm impressed by the potential I see
    in the youngsters of this village.
[02:23] Duncan
    They must've had a real good teacher.
[02:27] Belgrieve
    Come on, quit it.
[02:29] Child 1
    Hey, it's Duncan!
[02:31] Child 2
    You're right!
[02:38] Belgrieve
    You're rather popular.
[02:40] Duncan
    Shame I still haven't figured out
    how to interact with them.
[02:44] Belgrieve
    Don't worry. You're fitting right in.
[02:48] Belgrieve
    Even if I was surprised when I first met you.
[02:52] (Flashback) Duncan
    My name is Duncan!
[02:55] (Flashback) Duncan
    I'm an adventurer traveling the land
     to duel powerful opponents of note.
[03:01] (Flashback) Belgrieve
    What?
[03:02] (Flashback) Duncan
    I've come to witness the
    swordsmanship of the great Red Ogre!
[03:08] Belgrieve
    I'm grateful you showed up, Duncan.
[03:11] Belgrieve
    Monster sightings have been
     on the rise again lately.
[03:15] Child 2
    You've got what it takes to live here, Duncan!
[03:19] Child 3
    Hey, are you listening?
[03:20] Duncan
    It's true that I've already
    started to put roots down.
[03:23] Belgrieve
    Will you settle down and find a wife?
[03:26] Duncan
    That's not a half bad idea.
[03:29] Barnes
    Mr. Bel!
[03:31] Barnes
    A pack of monsters has appeared
    on the outskirts of town!
[03:39] Belgrieve
    That's it! Take them down one at a time.
[03:43] Duncan
    Looks like they've cleaned up most of 'em.
[03:45] Belgrieve
    Well done. Nice work.
[03:50] Pete
    Do you think I can become
    an adventurer, too?
[03:53] Belgrieve
    Maybe, although your dad would be
    sad if you left the village.
[04:00] Pete
    Yeah, but...
[04:01] Belgrieve
    You've got Duncan and me
     to back you up while you're here,
[04:05] Belgrieve
    but as an adventurer,
    you'd really be fighting for your life.
[04:08] Belgrieve
    Even if you don't lose your life,
    you might lose a leg like me.
[04:12] Pete
    I guess you're right...
[04:15] Duncan
    Good work today, everyone!
[04:17] Duncan
    Let's head back to the village.
[04:19] All
    Yeah!
[04:26] Duncan
    The parents of youngsters who want to
    become adventurers sure must be conflicted.
[04:31] Belgrieve
    I left my own village to become one.
[04:36] Belgrieve
    I understand how they feel.
[04:39] Duncan
    It's a difficult position to be in.
[04:41] Duncan
    Anyway, those were some
    impressive moves earlier.
[04:44] Duncan
    I'm amazed you're still honing
    your skills at your age.
[04:48] Belgrieve
    You suddenly feel a lot
    older once you reach forty.
[04:53] Belgrieve
    You get strangely anxious, like you
    can't keep doing what you're doing.
[05:00] Duncan
    I know what you're talking about.
    I felt old when I turned thirty.
[05:05] Belgrieve
    It's a little different from that.
     You feel your age.
[05:10] Belgrieve
    Suddenly your body doesn't
    move like it used to.
[05:15] Belgrieve
    You can tell you have more gray hair.
[05:19] Belgrieve
    They're little things,
    but they make you unbearably sad.
[05:24] Duncan
    I see.
[05:28] Duncan
    I am sometimes overcome with sadness,
[05:32] Duncan
    like I've left something behind.
[05:37] Belgrieve
    Like I've left something behind, huh?
[05:39] Belgrieve
    Yeah, maybe that's it.
[05:41] Belgrieve
    I've tried to live life to the fullest,
[05:45] Belgrieve
    but looking back, what have I accomplished?
[05:49] Duncan
    What are you talking about?
    You raised the Black-Haired Valkyrie.
[05:57] Belgrieve
    I see. You're right.
[06:00] Belgrieve
    She might be my greatest source of happiness.
[06:05] Barnes
    Mr. Bel!
[06:07] Belgrieve
    What is it, Barnes?
[06:09] Barnes
    There you are. My dad's calling you.
[06:12] Barnes
    He says to come to the plaza right away.
[06:15] Belgrieve
    Sorry, Duncan, but I've got to go.
[06:17] Duncan
    Understood.
[06:22] Belgrieve
    Kerry.
[06:24] Belgrieve
    Did something happen?
[06:26] Kerry
    That.
[06:30] Belgrieve
    An elf?
[06:39] Belgrieve
    Welcome to Turnera, good elf.
[06:44] Belgrieve
    My name is Belgrieve.
[06:46] Belgrieve
    If you don't mind,
     may I ask what brings you here?
[06:50] Graham
    Thank you. It would seem
    I've scared the villagers.
[06:56] Belgrieve
    They've never seen an elf before.
[06:59] Belgrieve
    Forgive them.
[07:02] Graham
    No, I apologize for not
    being more considerate.
[07:05] Belgrieve
    You're welcome to come to my home.
[07:14] Duncan
    My name is Duncan.
[07:17] Duncan
    Once a wandering adventurer,
     I'm now lodging with Mr. Belgrieve.
[07:22] Graham
    My name is Graham.
[07:25] Belgrieve
    Are you also known as the Paladin?
[07:28] Graham
    Some people call me that.
[07:33] Duncan
    You're a hero who's defeated
    demon kings and dragons.
[07:35] Duncan
    It's an honor to meet you.
[07:38] Belgrieve
    So, Mr. Graham, what brings you
     to these parts?
[07:42] Graham
    I'm looking for someone.
[07:44] Graham
    While scouring places she may have gone,
     I found my way here.
[07:50] Belgrieve
    "She"? You're looking for a woman?
[07:53] Graham
    She's a bit of a troublesome tomboy.
[07:56] Graham
    She has no regard for her position.
[07:59] Duncan
    So she's nobility?
[08:01] Graham
    Yes. She's one of the daughters of Oberon,
[08:05] Graham
    king of the western woods
    in the elven lands.
[08:07] Belgrieve
    What's a princess doing here?
[08:09] Graham
    Demon kings have been returning
    across the land as of late.
[08:13] Graham
    She is on a journey to slay them on her own.
[08:18] Duncan
    She's slaying them alone?
    She must be incredible!
[08:22] Graham
    Demon kings possess a special kind of mana.
[08:26] Graham
    Only those skilled in its manipulation
    stand a chance against them.
[08:32] Duncan
    You mean you have to be a mage?
[08:35] Graham
    Not quite.
[08:37] Graham
    Mana is one direction power can take.
[08:41] Graham
    In the old language of the elves,
     we call it ki.
[08:46] Graham
    In order to wield a weapon
    as an extension of yourself,
[08:49] Graham
    you must use mana as a medium
    to channel your senses to it.
[08:54] Belgrieve
    I see. Now that you mention it,
     it is mysterious.
[08:59] Graham
    Elves possess far greater mastery
    over mana than humans.
[09:05] Graham
    Even for our kind,
     she is exceptionally talented.
[09:09] Graham
    But that worked against her,
    and she left the woods.
[09:13] Graham
    She believes she's defeating them,
    but demon kings are immortal.
[09:18] Duncan
    If you followed the princess's trail here,
[09:21] Duncan
    then monsters must be appearing
    around Turnera because...
[09:28] Graham
    I can't say for certain that the rise
     in monsters is due to a demon king,
[09:33] Graham
    but it's likely.
[09:36] Belgrieve
    Well, that's not good.
[09:38] Graham
    We'll need to investigate.
[09:44] Belgrieve
    Find anything?
[09:47] Graham
    The mana here is strange.
[09:50] Graham
    But whatever's causing it is in the forest.
[09:55] Belgrieve
    Is it possible the forest
    has turned into a dungeon?
[09:58] Graham
    If that were the cause,
[10:01] Graham
    the trees would be twisted
    and life itself distorted.
[10:05] Graham
    Though the quality of this mana certainly
     feels similar to that of a demon king.
[10:28] Graham
    You're both quite skilled.
[10:30] Belgrieve
    What are you talking about?
    Next to you, we're practically babes.
[10:34] Duncan
    Despite your wide swings,
    your attacks are sharp.
[10:39] Graham
    This blade is a living thing.
[10:45] Graham
    Far to the east, there is a strange
    variety of tree known as the steel tree.
[10:50] Graham
    Its fruit is of superlative quality,
    but it is difficult to work.
[10:53] Graham
    When forged into a weapon,
     it is especially receptive to its wielder.
[11:00] Belgrieve
    Living metal? I'm amazed.
[11:03] Duncan
    I bet we'll have this little problem
    cleaned up in no time.
[11:07] Graham
    About that...
[11:10] Graham
    I guarantee she'll detect this
    forest's mana and show up here.
[11:15] Graham
    If anything happens,
    I'll do my best to handle it.
[11:17] Graham
    So would you be willing to wait a while?
[11:21] Belgrieve
    Very well. With your strength on our side,
     we have nothing to worry about.
[11:26] Belgrieve
    You're welcome to stay with
    me while you're here.
[11:30] Graham
    Thank you for all your help with everything.
[11:32] Graham
    I'll never catch that unruly
    girl unless I ambush her.
[11:41] Angeline
    I haven't gotten enough dad time recently.
[11:44] Angeline
    He must be missing me, too.
[11:48] Anessa
    It sounds like the village depends on him.
[11:50] Anessa
    He might not have time to miss you.
[11:52] Woman
    Let's come back soon.
[11:53] Man
    Sure.
[11:55] Man
    Where to next?
[11:56] Miriam
    Ange, why don't you find a boyfriend?
[11:59] Angeline
    Why?
[12:00] Miriam
    If you had one here, you could
    distract yourself from your loneliness.
[12:03] Angeline
    What I want from my dad isn't the
    same as what I'd want from a lover.
[12:08] Angeline
    What about you, Miri?
[12:10] Miriam
    Oh, please. I don't trust men my age.
[12:14] Anessa
    Don't you think your standards are too high?
[12:17] Miriam
    I wonder of Mr. Bel would get married.
[12:22] Angeline
    Where did that come from?
[12:24] Miriam
    If he had a wife, he wouldn't
    be lonely in Turnera.
[12:28] Miriam
    What kind of woman do you
     think would be good?
[12:33] Angeline
    She'd need to be motherly, I guess.
[12:37] Anessa
    Motherly, huh?
[12:40] Angeline
    My dad's wife would be my mom.
[12:45] Angeline
    My mom... That has a nice ring to it!
[12:50] Angeline
    I'll have to find a wife for my dad.
[12:53] Anessa
    What?
[12:53] Miriam
    Wow, that sounds fun!
[12:56] Angeline
    My dad's a late bloomer, so if we leave
     it to him, he'll never find someone.
[13:01] Angeline
    So we have to find suitable
    candidates for him.
[13:05] Angeline
    The ultimate decision will be his, of course.
[13:09] Angeline
    This is starting to sound like fun.
[13:11] Miriam
    What if he stops spending time
    with you once he gets married?
[13:19] Angeline
    What am I going to do?
[13:21] Anessa
    You hadn't considered that?
[13:23] Angeline
    No, my dad isn't that kind of man!
[13:26] Angeline
    So I'm going to find him a wife!
    I'll find my own mother!
[13:30] Angeline
    Let's get to it!
[13:32] Miriam
    Huh?
[13:32] Anessa
    We're going with you?
[13:39] Anessa
    What are we doing here?
[13:43] Yuri
    See you later.
[13:44] Yuri
    Oh, Ange.
[13:50] Angeline
    I only met Ms. Yuri recently, but her
    skin is unbelievable for a 37-year-old.
[13:56] Angeline
    She's calm but a bit mischievous.
    She's a lovely lady.
[13:59] Angeline
    I wouldn't mind having Ms. Yuri for a mom.
[14:04] Yuri
    What is it?
[14:05] Angeline
    Ms. Yuri, would you like me
    to set you up with my dad?
[14:08] Yuri
    What?
[14:09] Both
    What?!
[14:10] Yuri
    Um, isn't your father the Red Ogre?
[14:15] Yuri
    I'm not sure I'd be a good match for him.
[14:18] Angeline
    Oh, don't say that!
[14:20] Angeline
    You were Triple A-rank, weren't you?
[14:23] Yuri
    B-Back when I was still adventuring.
[14:27] Lionel
    Yuri, about this file...
[14:30] Lionel
    Oh, Ms. Ange.
[14:32] Angeline
    Not getting enough sleep, Guild Master?
[14:34] Lionel
    Not really. Staying up all night
     at my age is rough.
[14:38] Lionel
    It's been like this ever since
    that monster infestation.
[14:43] Yuri
    All you do is complain, Leo.
[14:45] Lionel
    Don't be ridiculous.
[14:47] Lionel
    I'd die if I couldn't complain.
[14:49] Yuri
    You'll be fine. You're still good to go
     if you can joke about dying.
[14:53] Yuri
    Here, I'll even check this file for you.
[14:59] Angeline
    These two used to be party
    members. They're quite close.
[15:03] Angeline
    Hey.
[15:05] Lionel
    What is it, Ms. Ange?
[15:06] Angeline
    Are you two dating?
[15:09] Lionel
    Why?
[15:10] Angeline
    You're close. And you trust each other, right?
[15:16] Lionel
    Well, we used to watch
    each other's backs and all.
[15:19] Lionel
    But that doesn't make us lovers.
[15:22] Yuri
    It's less that I trust him and more
    that I feel compelled to help him.
[15:26] Lionel
    What?
[15:27] Angeline
    Regardless, a strong bond has
    formed between them. But...
[15:32] Angeline
    Ms. Yuri, please give some serious
    thought to meeting my dad.
[15:36] Angeline
    Unlike the guild master,
    he's actually dependable.
[15:40] Yuri
    My, you precocious girl.
[15:42] Lionel
    I bet he really is dependable.
[15:45] Lionel
    I know, Yuri! You should marry Ms. Ange's dad
     and bring him back to Orphen.
[15:50] Yuri
    I should what?!
[15:54] Lione
    But it's a great idea...
[15:58] Angeline
    If Ms. Yuri were my mom,
    would she get that mad at me?
[16:03] Anessa
    Ange.
[16:04] Miriam
    There's someplace we want to go after this.
[16:06] Angeline
    What? Where?
[16:08] Miriam
    Our home.
[16:11] Anessa
    We're back!
[16:14] Rosetta
    Welcome back.
[16:16] Miriam
    How have you been?
[16:17] Kids
    Welcome home!
[16:19] Kids
    We missed you!
[16:19] Anessa
    I'll leave this for you here.
[16:20] Angeline
    How is everyone?
[16:22] Rosetta
    Thank you. What magnificent vegetables.
[16:22] Kids
    Ange came, too!
[16:24] Rosetta
    I'll boil these tonight and make pasta.
[16:31] Kids
    I chopped my veggies!
[16:33] Kids
    Me, too!
[16:34] Rosetta
    Why, thank you.
[16:35] Rosetta
    Could you set the table next?
[16:38] Kids
    Okay!
[16:40] Angeline
    Ms. Rosetta is a sister at the
    orphanage Ane and Miri are from.
[16:45] Angeline
    She's spirited and good with kids.
[16:47] Angeline
    She's a very kind 29-year-old.
[16:50] Rosetta
    Hm?
[16:52] Angeline
    Ms. Rosetta, have you considered marriage?
[16:54] Rosetta
    Wh-What? Where did this come from?
[16:57] Angeline
    You're cute, hardworking, and a good cook.
[17:00] Angeline
    You'd make a good wife.
[17:03] Rosetta
    Don't poke fun at adults.
[17:07] Angeline
    Hey, want me to set you up with my dad?
[17:09] Rosetta
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[17:12] Angeline
    No?
[17:14] Rosetta
    Th-That's not the issue here.
[17:17] Angeline
    Think about it. My dad's a great guy.
[17:26] Miriam
    Rosetta, why are you blushing?
[17:28] Rosetta
    N-No reason.
[17:36] Belgrieve
    Sorry. We're still not done shearing.
[17:39] Duncan
    Don't you worry. Leave it to us.
[17:43] Belgrieve
    Thank you.
[17:44] Duncan
    Well then, we shall return soon.
[17:54] Kerry
    Good grief. What a busy year we're having.
[17:57] Belgrieve
    It's just until the youngsters
    get used to the work.
[18:01] Kerry
    Say, Bel, do you think
     Mr. Graham likes this place?
[18:05] Belgrieve
    Yeah, I think he does.
[18:07] Kerry
    It's pretty great that an elf
    likes our village, don't you think?
[18:11] Belgrieve
    And yet you're still too embarrassed
    to have a real conversation with him.
[18:15] Kerry
    But I don't know what to talk about.
[18:20] Belgrieve
    Small talk would be fine.
[18:23] Kerry
    Then I'll invite him to drink with us.
[18:26] Kerry
    You'd better bring him.
[18:28] Belgrieve
    You got it. I'm sure he'll be delighted.
[18:31] Barnes
    Mr. Bel!
[18:33] Barnes
    Could you come to the far field?
[18:35] Belgrieve
    What's wrong? Is it monsters again?
[18:38] Barnes
    Well, actually...
[18:50] Marguerite
    How dare they flee after seeing my face.
[18:52] Marguerite
    Humans are so rude.
[18:55] Belgrieve
    I'm sorry. They're not used to elves.
[18:59] Belgrieve
    Forgive them.
[19:00] Marguerite
    So, who are you?
[19:02] Belgrieve
    My name is Belgrieve.
[19:05] Belgrieve
    Are you the daughter of Oberon,
    king of the west?
[19:13] Belgrieve
    I thought so.
[19:15] Marguerite
    Who told you that? Tell me, or else!
[19:24] Belgrieve
    I was just thinking about having lunch.
[19:27] Belgrieve
    If it's not an imposition,
[19:29] Belgrieve
    I'd be much obliged for the honor
    of dining with an elven princess.
[19:34] Marguerite
    If you insist, then I suppose I must.
[19:37] Belgrieve
    Thank you.
[19:51] Belgrieve
    Did you like it?
[19:54] Marguerite
    I-It was all right.
[19:56] Belgrieve
    If you don't mind, may I ask your name?
[20:00] Marguerite
    First things first, old man.
    How did you know who I am?
[20:04] Belgrieve
    I heard from Mr. Graham.
[20:06] Belgrieve
    He's actually in this village now.
[20:10] Marguerite
    M-My granduncle? You can't be serious!
[20:13] Graham
    Marguerite.
[20:19] Marguerite
    G-Granduncle?
[20:21] Graham
    What do you think you're doing?
     Oberon is worried.
[20:25] Marguerite
    My father, caring about me?
[20:27] Marguerite
    Impossible!
[20:29] Graham
    All parents care for their children.
[20:31] Marguerite
    You can't be serious!
[20:33] Marguerite
    I'll make him acknowledge me
[20:36] Marguerite
    the same way you became famous!
[20:43] Graham
    No matter how she begged,
[20:45] Graham
    I never should've told her about my travels.
[20:48] Belgrieve
    She's a relative of yours?
[20:50] Graham
    Yes. Oberon is my nephew.
[20:56] Graham
    I must go after her.
[20:57] Duncan
    Then I'll go with you.
[20:59] Graham
    I couldn't bear to have you witness
    any more of our family squabbles.
[21:06] Belgrieve
    Doesn't sound like this is going to be easy.
[21:09] Duncan
    No.
[21:14] Angeline
    Nobody's giving me the time of day
    even though my dad's a great guy.
[21:19] Anessa
    You're being a bit too pushy.
[21:22] Miriam
    Yeah, yeah. You're really rushing things.
[21:25] Angeline
    You think so?
[21:27] Anessa
    Why don't you have Mr. Bel visit Orphen?
[21:30] Anessa
    They might find they get along
    if they meet him in person.
[21:33] Angeline
    Okay! The next time I visit home,
    I'll bring my dad back to Orphen.
[21:38] Angeline
    Then I'll hold a matchmaking party!
[21:41] Anessa
    Uh, that's not what I meant.
[21:43] Miriam
    Oh, Ange.
[21:49] Angeline
    Who should I invite?
[21:55] Angeline
    It's them.
