[00:14] KYLE
You've completely made that your own.
[00:17] THERON
Yeah. I'm itching to use it in actual combat.
[00:21] KYLE
Hey, I've got a question for you.
[00:23] KYLE
What'd you think of the demons?
[00:28] THERON
Well... how should I put it?
[00:32] THERON
They're definitely strong,
but they're not all that scary.
[00:38] THERON
When we first encountered them,
rumor and legend dominated my impression,
[00:43] THERON
but the more I learned,
the less terrifying they became.
[00:47] KYLE
No matter how powerful they may be,
[00:50] KYLE
they ultimately aren't much different from us,
so they're not something to fear.
[00:54] KYLE
Is that what you mean?
[00:55] THERON
Yeah, that. That's exactly it.
[01:00] THERON
What is it? What's up?
[01:02] KYLE
Nothing. I was just considering maybe
you and I do think alike after all.
[01:07] THERON
Ugh, you're creeping me out.
[01:14] KYLE/ID
So that contributed to his decision.
[01:18] (Flashback) KYLE
You let the female demon go?!
[01:20] (Flashback) THERON
Y-Yeah.
[01:23] (Flashback) KYLE
After I explicitly told you not to?!
[01:25] (Flashback) THERON
A lot happened on our end, okay?
[01:28] (Flashback) KYLE
Damn it. I wasn't counting on this.
[01:31] (Flashback) THERON
I mean, she didn't seem like
such a bad person.
[01:36] KYLE/ID
If she were truly a threat,
Theron never would've let her get away.
[01:41] KYLE/ID
Perhaps three centuries of temporary peace
has changed humanoids and demons alike.
[01:48] LIESE
Oh, there you are.
[01:52] KYLE
Are you two feeling better already?
[01:55] LIESE
Yeah. The doctor gave us
clean bills of health.
[01:58] LIESE
We could get right back in the fray!
[02:02] URZA
I wasn't particularly injured.
[02:04] URZA
I got a lot of rest, so I'm fine now.
[02:08] KYLE
I see. You both did well.
[02:12] KYLE
I'm so glad you both survived.
[02:15] KYLE
Thank you.
[02:18] LIESE
It was no big deal. Really.
[02:22] URZA
S-Seriously. Don't be so dramatic.
[02:27] THERON
Well, this is irritating to watch.
[02:35] GOH
Good day, Kyle. Dad's in the back.
[02:38] KYLE
Thanks.
[02:40] GOH
Um, Sildonia, there's something
I'd like to discuss with you.
[02:46] SILDONIA
Fine.
[02:53] SILDONIA
So, what do you wish to discuss?
[02:55] GOH
R-Right! Um, you see...
[03:01] KYLE
Looks like you've recovered.
[03:05] GAZUS
In spite of the exhaustion from
someone's unreasonable request, yes.
[03:12] GAZUS
I hear you're leaving tomorrow.
[03:14] KYLE
Yeah. That's the plan.
[03:17] GAZUS
I'd like to give you a parting gift.
[03:34] GAZUS
Sheaths for your blade
and the Holy Sword Rand.
[03:37] GAZUS
Since you gave me a ton of mithril
and all, I made these to practice.
[03:42] KYLE
I appreciate it.
[03:44] KYLE
Sildonia isn't fond of cheap sheaths.
[03:47] GAZUS
You've done a lot for me.
[03:50] GAZUS
I won't waste the mithril you provided.
[03:56] GOH
Sildonia...
[03:57] GOH
Are you really leaving?
[04:00] SILDONIA
Indeed. According to Kyle, we depart tomorrow.
[04:04] GOH
Um, do you think that maybe...
[04:08] GOH
you could stay here with me forever?
[04:16] SILDONIA
I'm afraid I cannot do that.
[04:18] SILDONIA
Where Kyle goes, I must follow.
[04:21] GOH
Oh, but please.
[04:23] GOH
I'd love for you to teach me more things.
[04:28] SILDONIA
Goh...
[04:31] SILDONIA
Never fear. I have taught you
all you need to know.
[04:34] SILDONIA
With Kyle's patronage, you will be able
to complete the golem on your own.
[04:42] GOH
I see. So you can't stay, huh?
[04:45] SILDONIA
Do not take it personally.
[04:47] SILDONIA
At present, I belong to Kyle.
[04:51] SILDONIA
What is it?
[04:52] GOH
Er, it's nothing...
[04:55] GOH
I understand.
[04:56] GOH
I'll let it go. All of it.
[04:59] SILDONIA
What?
[04:59] SILDONIA
I'm not sure what you mean,
but you have potential.
[05:03] SILDONIA
Keep devoting yourself to your craft.
[05:08] GOH
Thank you.
[05:12] SILDONIA
Ah, Kyle! Have you concluded
your business already?
[05:15] KYLE
Yeah.
[05:17] KYLE
I'm counting on you
to complete the golem, Goh.
[05:21] GOH
Okay.
[05:23] SILDONIA
Take care.
[05:26] GOH
Kyle already has Liese and Urza...
[05:30] GOH
Must he take Sildonia too?
[05:32] SILDONIA/NA
Kyle would come to be known by many names.
[05:37] SILDONIA/NA
They say the "lecherous hero"
moniker originated here in Karan.
[05:54] KYLE/NA
I learned from Miranda that
Governor Bax had passed.
[06:04] (Flashback) BAX
Glory to Karan...
[06:12] (Flashback) GAZUS
Governor!
[06:17] KYLE/NA
He didn't have long to begin with,
[06:19] KYLE/NA
but upon finding out that all he'd done
was for naught, he took a turn for the worse.
[06:27] MIRANDA
Governor Bax confessed the whole truth
regarding the kidnappings on his deathbed.
[06:33] KYLE
Then this ordeal is...
[06:35] MIRANDA
Yes. We may consider it resolved,
although one problem remains.
[06:41] KYLE
The massacre at the Gargan embassy, you mean?
[06:45] MIRANDA
Yes.
[06:46] MIRANDA
The empire will blame Zirgus for the
incident and put the squeeze on us.
[06:52] MIRANDA
Since Queen Milena has called off her
engagement, who knows what they'll demand?
[06:58] MIRANDA
My head hurts.
[07:00] KYLE
I have no choice but to leave
the matter in your hands.
[07:05] MIRANDA
Yes, I know.
[07:07] MIRANDA
Forgive me for complaining.
[07:10] KYLE
Don't worry about it.
[07:12] MIRANDA
Also, Gazus has now officially
been selected as the next governor.
[07:17] KYLE
Really? But he's cooped up in his workshop.
[07:22] MIRANDA
That's right.
[07:24] MIRANDA
He accepted the role on the condition
[07:26] MIRANDA
that we handle the work while he spends
as much time blacksmithing as he desires.
[07:34] KYLE
So that's the story, huh?
[07:37] KYLE
He already made us sheaths for our swords.
[07:40] KYLE
He said he was practicing with mithril.
[07:44] MIRANDA
That sounds just like him.
[07:46] MIRANDA
Saying they were practice was only an excuse.
[07:48] MIRANDA
If not for you, there would have
been far more casualties.
[07:54] MIRANDA
Both Gazus and I thank you
from the bottom of our hearts.
[08:01] KYLE
Could I ask a personal question?
[08:05] MIRANDA
Yes, of course.
[08:07] KYLE
Goh had some money trouble recently.
[08:11] KYLE
You were pulling the strings
behind that, weren't you?
[08:14] MIRANDA
What?
[08:15] KYLE
Threatened by Governor Bax, Gazus distanced
himself from you to keep you out of things.
[08:23] KYLE
Unaware of the situation, you came up with a
plan to force the two of you closer together.
[08:30] KYLE
You set your sights on Goh,
who was looking for investors.
[08:35] KYLE
You didn't even act as an intermediary.
[08:37] KYLE
You just suggested to the right people
that there was a business opportunity.
[08:43] KYLE
Then you waited for it to blow up, intending
to earn Gazus's favor by rescuing Goh.
[08:50] KYLE
Even if I'm wrong, I doubt I'm far off the mark.
[08:54] MIRANDA
I'm in awe. Your deductive
skills are impressive.
[08:58] MIRANDA
However, do you have any concrete proof?
[09:03] KYLE
Unfortunately, no.
[09:05] MIRANDA
Well, that's a shame.
[09:07] MIRANDA
In that case, isn't this all mere conjecture?
[09:12] KYLE
It would seem so.
[09:14] KYLE
Why don't we both forget I said it?
[09:17] MIRANDA
Say what you will, but that was
a rather serious accusation.
[09:21] MIRANDA
However did you manage to come to it?
[09:24] KYLE
Well, you see, I know you have no qualms
about doing something so calculating.
[09:31] MIRANDA
What?
[09:34] KYLE
If you've got something to feel guilty about,
I'd like you to do me a favor.
[09:39] KYLE
Could you make sure no one learns the details
about Goh's golem restoration project?
[09:46] KYLE
No nation can know. Not even Zirgus.
[09:50] MIRANDA
If that's all you require,
I believe I can do that.
[09:56] KYLE
Then we have a deal.
[09:59] MIRANDA
But do you really believe he'll succeed?
[10:04] KYLE
Who invests in a project they expect to fail?
[10:10] MIRANDA
I suppose you have a point.
[10:12] MIRANDA
But this golem would be
a major boon to our forces.
[10:16] MIRANDA
If all goes well, I will have
to report it to the kingdom.
[10:20] KYLE
Well, I don't expect you to hide it forever.
[10:24] KYLE
Just avoid attracting attention
until his research is on track
[10:28] KYLE
and implementation is in sight.
[10:30] MIRANDA
I see.
[10:33] KYLE
It's all right.
[10:34] KYLE
Even if it takes a while,
it won't be more than three years.
[10:37] KYLE
There'll be no need
to keep it secret after that.
[10:41] MIRANDA
Um...
[10:42] KYLE
Don't make that face.
[10:44] KYLE
I'd rather see you smiling instead.
[10:49] MIRANDA
I'm amazed you can say that
after threatening me.
[10:56] KYLE
You're absolutely right.
[10:59] KYLE
But you look much better now
than when you were just surviving.
[11:06] MIRANDA
What?
[11:08] MIRANDA
Forgive the odd question,
but have we met before?
[11:17] KYLE
No. We met for the first time here in Karan.
[11:48] THERON
Aw, man.
[11:50] THERON
I never got to properly test my sword.
[11:53] KYLE
Don't say that.
[11:55] KYLE
You'll get the chance soon enough.
[11:57] KYLE
For now, we should return
to Zirgus and make our report.
[12:01] SILDONIA
Perhaps I'll have them treat me
to another snack or two.
[12:06] THERON
That's all you think about.
[12:08] SILDONIA
What do you mean, that's all?
[12:08] LIESE
They'll probably ask us all kinds
of questions about our trip.
[12:11] KYLE
Now, now. She needs the nutrients.
[12:13] URZA
Yes, there will be no avoiding that.
[12:14] SILDONIA
I'll turn you into a snack and eat you!
[12:16] THERON
What?!
[12:17] URZA
There were already tensions between
Zirgus and the Gargan Empire over Karan.
[12:24] URZA
Who knows how much the assassination of
a key figure will impact their relationship?
[12:32] KYLE
We know the demons are up to something.
[12:35] KYLE
We have bigger problems.
[12:38] KYLE
They could be planning an attack.
[12:40] KYLE
If we're busy fighting amongst ourselves,
[12:43] KYLE
that could spell the worst possible outcome.
[12:46] KYLE
That's why we're working to unite humanoids.
[12:51] KYLE
We can change our fate.
[12:56] THERON
Damn, dude.
[12:58] THERON
You're always so motivated.
[13:12] MILENA
This is a difficult situation.
[13:16] AUGES
We've been informed that
[13:18] AUGES
all three princes were urgently summoned
to the imperial capital of Ruos.
[13:23] AUGES
At this rate, tensions between
our two nations will only worsen.
[13:27] MILENA
Yes, I know.
[13:30] MILENA
Auges, Kilren.
[13:33] MILENA
I have a mission for you two.
[13:42] CERAIA
There.
[13:48] CERAIA
I wonder if Kyle's doing okay.
[13:57] LAYLA
You're as helpless as ever
with everything that's not magic.
[14:01] CERAIA
Layla! Good morning.
[14:03] LAYLA
Hey, Ceraia. Working hard, I see.
[14:06] CERAIA
You're leaving already?
[14:08] LAYLA
Yeah. If I see them, I'll say hello for you.
[14:12] CERAIA
Anything can happen on the road. Be careful.
[14:16] LAYLA
Sure. This is a critical time for you too.
[14:20] LAYLA
Don't strain yourself.
[14:32] LIESE
Hey, look!
[14:41] KYLE
That's...
[14:50] THERON
There. I'm all out.
[14:51] URZA
What?
[14:54] THERON
Traveling by carriage is nice
and easy, but it's a bit boring.
[15:00] LIESE
My turn next.
[15:03] URZA
I won't lose this time.
[15:05] LIESE
We'll see about that.
[15:11] LIESE
Maybe I'll take this one.
[15:15] LIESE
Or maybe this one.
[15:19] LIESE
This one!
[15:21] LIESE
I'm all out too!
[15:22] URZA
H-How did you know?
[15:25] LIESE
It was written all over your face.
I read you like a book.
[15:28] URZA
O-One more game.
[15:31] LIESE
Sure, but I might win again.
[15:31] THERON
It takes five days to get there.
[15:34] THERON
Let's take it easy.
[15:34] URZA
I'll win this time.
[15:37] KILREN
I am grateful you would accept
such a sudden request, Sir Kyle.
[15:44] KYLE
No, I'm honored to.
[15:47] KYLE
"Demons were entirely
responsible for the tragedy
[15:50] KYLE
at the imperial embassy in Karan,
which was not a hostile act by Zirgus."
[15:56] KYLE
As the man who cut down one of their number,
I can personally attest to that.
[16:00] KILREN
We sincerely appreciate your testimony.
[16:03] KILREN
The success of this conference and the peace
between our nations rests on your shoulders.
[16:10] KYLE/ID
She's really putting on the pressure.
[16:13] AUGES
Now, now. You needn't get so worked up.
[16:17] AUGES
Worst case, war breaks out, and either Zirgus
or the Gargan Empire will be destroyed.
[16:26] KILREN
Minister Auges, do not joke about grave
matters concerning our nations.
[16:30] AUGES
Forgive me. I simply think
we oughtn't be so uptight.
[16:34] AUGES
You're nervous because you've never borne
such a great responsibility, aren't you?
[16:40] AUGES
As for me, I am accustomed
to visits to the empire.
[16:44] AUGES
Let me handle everything.
[16:46] KILREN
Well, well.
[16:48] KILREN
Climbing from a low-ranking official to
minister with the backing of King Remonas
[16:53] KILREN
sure changes the way a man speaks, hmm?
[16:59] AUGES
I wouldn't say that.
[17:02] KILREN
Don't be so modest.
[17:05] AUGES
No, really.
[17:07] KILREN
Oh, please.
[17:08] AUGES
No, if you please!
[17:10] KILREN
No, if you please!
[17:10] KYLE/ID
Please let us get there soon.
[17:12] AUGES
No, if you please!
[17:13] KILREN
If you please!
[17:19] LIESE
Oh, you can see the city now!
[17:21] URZA
This is my first time visiting Ruos.
I had no idea it was so huge.
[17:25] THERON
Let's really let 'em treat us
at tonight's dinner party.
[17:31] KYLE/ID
The Gargan Empire, huh?
[17:34] KYLE/ID
I might get to see him*.*
[17:48] ELDRAND
Zirgus insists that they were also victims
of the massacre at the embassy.
[17:55] CONRAD
They claim it was all the work of demons.
[17:58] CONRAD
Do they really expect us to believe that?
[18:01] CONRAD
Demons haven't appeared
in the last three hundred years!
[18:05] ELDRAND
Yet according to Zirgus's report,
someone slew the demon responsible.
[18:13] ELDRAND
Alzard was among the victims.
[18:16] ELDRAND
If that's true, it would make this supposed
champion one of humanity's strongest.
[18:21] CONRAD
It's inconceivable that anyone
[18:23] CONRAD
could be stronger than our wyvern knights
and second most powerful court sorcerer.
[18:28] CONRAD
I will not entertain Zirgus's lies any longer.
[18:32] CONRAD
And you, Maiser! What's with the attitude?
[18:35] CONRAD
The Gargan Empire's authority
is being threatened!
[18:41] MAISER
You're both a bit too tense, don't you think?
[18:45] MAISER
I hear there's a hero in Zirgus.
[18:48] MAISER
Perhaps he's the one who defeated the demon.
[18:53] ELDRAND
What makes you say that?
[18:54] MAISER
Just a hunch.
[18:57] ELDRAND
A hunch, huh?
[18:59] ELDRAND
Your hunches are often correct, Maiser.
[20:28] MAISER
You sure work quick.
[20:31] MAISER
Am I interrupting?
[20:33] KYLE
No, we weren't discussing anything important.
[20:37] KYLE
Anyway, do you have business with me?
[20:40] MAISER
Yeah. I prefer to be direct.
[20:44] MAISER
Let me cut to the chase.
[20:46] MAISER
Will you serve me?
[20:50] KYLE
I'm glad you'd think so highly of me, but—
[20:53] MAISER
If you won't, I believe I should
eliminate you here and now.
[20:58] MAISER
You're too capable.
[21:01] MAISER
If you won't be my ally,
then I can't have you around at all.
[21:06] MAISER
What do you say, Kyle Leonard?

Forgive me.
[22:58] YULIGA
Though we found the holy sword during our
investigation, we failed to acquire it.
[23:04] YULIGA
It also seems Garnias has perished.
[23:11] YULIGA
I will gladly accept any punishment
