[00:01] Old Man Kizuna
    Danger and opportunity are everywhere in
    this place they call the Labyrinth City.
[00:07] Old Man Kizuna
    The city itself is a labyrinth, and young
    men and women risk their lives there.
[00:17] Nick
    My name's Nick.
[00:18] Nick
    I'm a Swashbuckler with Masters of War,
    a group of skilled adventurers.
[00:22] Nick
    I've got a girlfriend, and life is great.
    My dream is to make Masters of War an A-Rank party...
[00:28] Argas
    Nick, we no longer need you in our party.
[00:31] Nick
    What?
[00:32] Nick
    Argas, the man I looked up to like a father,
    kicked me out of the party.
[00:38] Claudine
    Let's break up, then!
[00:41] Nick
    The girl I thought was my girlfriend
    dumped and betrayed me.
[00:45] Nick
    And the next thing I knew...
[00:47] Nick
    I was an idol otaku!
[00:53] Nick
    Agate!

    Now, you all know what our next song is...
[02:38] Nick/Fans
    The "Saint's Fight Song"!
[02:52] (Flashback) Nick
    Why, Argas?
[02:56] (Flashback) Nick
    You want me to forgive Garosso, too,
    after he stole money from us for some girl?
[03:00] (Flashback) Argas
    It's not just Garosso.
[03:03] (Flashback) Argas
    You don't think like an adventurer!
[03:07] (Flashback) Argas
    You were just a kid when I
    took you in and raised you up,
[03:10] (Flashback) Argas
    and now you're telling everyone what to do.
[03:13] (Flashback) Nick
    What are you—
[03:15] (Flashback) Argas
    We're done talking. You and I just
    have different ways of doing things.
[03:19] (Flashback) Argas
    You aren't a kid anymore.
    Go find some place you're better suited to.
[03:24] (Flashback) Nick
    Argas, I...
[03:32] (Flashback) Nick
    I looked up to you...
[03:39] (Flashback) Agate
    You're soaked.
[03:51] (Flashback) Agate
    Um...
[03:57] (Flashback) Agate
    Don't shoo me off like some stray dog!
[04:00] (Flashback) Agate
    Um...
[04:06] (Flashback) Agate
    I-I'm an idol!
[04:09] (Flashback) Nick
    I don't see it.
[04:11] (Flashback) Agate
    I-I'm just getting started,
    but I'm working really hard.
[04:15] (Flashback) Nick
    No, I don't see why you're talking to me.
[04:18] (Flashback) Agate
    An idol's job is to cheer people up
    and give them courage!
[04:22] (Flashback) Agate
    I'll be at Southgate Hall tomorrow!
[04:25] (Flashback) Nick
    I'm not going.
[04:27] (Flashback) Agate
    Make sure you're there, Mr. Stray Dog!
[04:33] (Flashback) Nick
    I said I wasn't going...

[06:20] Waitress
    Party of three!
[06:23] Staff
    Welcome!
[06:24] Waitress
    Sorry, you'll have to share a table.
[06:25] Waitress
    Try to get along.
[06:26] Waitress
    Oh, one stewed mole-pig offal,
    coming right up!
[06:41] Nick
    A party?
[06:44] Nick
    Doesn't look like it...
[06:47] Drunk
    Hey there!
[06:49] Drunk
    You want to go on an adventure with me?
[06:53] Drunk
    I'm so sorry!
[06:56] Nick
    That jewel's pretty old. And expensive.
[07:02] Nick
    Every item of clothing she's wearing
    tells me she's from a rich family,
[07:07] Nick
    one that must've loved her a whole lot.
[07:10] Nick
    But she sticks out here, badly.
[07:15] Nick
    She looks like a mage, but...
[07:17] Nick
    Is she an assassin?
[07:24] Nick
    And that cleric's been drinking
    since before he got here.
[07:26] Nick
    With the girls on each side? No.
[07:30] Nick
    He just left a cabaret club.
    I can still smell their perfume.
[07:35] Nick
    And no medal, either,
    which means he was excommunicated.
[07:39] Nick
    Cleric is a popular job,
    and everybody's ignoring him.
[07:45] Nick
    And there's a dragonian.
[07:47] Nick
    She looks like she's seen
    more than her share of battles,
[07:49] Nick
    but she reminds me of a wounded animal.
[08:06] Nick
    To Argas. To my beautiful girlfriend.
[08:11] Nick
    And to the gloomy bastards in front of me.
[08:14] Nick
    Screw adventuring. Screw having a girlfriend.
[08:18] Nick
    Any friend I make is just
    going to betray me later.
[08:21] Nick
    I'll never be able to trust anyone.
[08:25] Nick
    Argas might be right.
[08:27] Nick
    Maybe I'm not cut out to be an adventurer.
[08:30] Nick
    But...
[08:39] Nick; Zem; Curran; Tiana
    You just can't trust anyone!
[08:53] (Flashback) Tiana
    Lightning Strike!
[09:05] (Flashback) Instructor A
    Just what I'd expect to see from
    the daughter of the Erenafelt clan!
[09:08] (Flashback) Instructor B
    You couldn't do that without mastering
    both water and wind magic!
[09:12] (Flashback) Tiana
    I'm not learning magic to become famous
    and powerful, but to train my mind.
[09:18] (Flashback) Velokkio
    You're amazing, Tiana.
[09:20] (Flashback) Velokkio
    You've mastered multi-element magic
    and still retain your humility.
[09:24] (Flashback) Velokkio
    You're the pride and joy of our school.
[09:28] (Flashback) Tiana
    Thank you, Master.
[09:33] Tiana
    Magic doesn't exist just to
    make our daily lives easier.
[09:38] Tiana
    Learning magic means learning
    about human society...
[09:42] Tiana
    and even about our world itself.
[09:58] (Flashback) Clerk
    Welcome!
[09:59] (Flashback) Tiana
    Is Alex here?
[10:01] (Flashback) Clerk
    Um...
[10:03] (Flashback) Tiana
    It's fine. I'll take some tea.
[10:07] (Flashback) Lynn
    Oh, Alex, you're so silly!
[10:10] (Flashback) Tiana
    Alex!
[10:13] (Flashback) Alex
    Hello, Tiana.
[10:14] (Flashback) Alex
    You're looking cheerful this morning!
[10:15] (Flashback) Tiana
    I'm feeling cheerful! Get this, Alex!
[10:18] (Flashback) Alex
    Did you astonish your teachers
    with another amazing spell?
[10:22] (Flashback) Tiana
    The teachers loved my lightning magic!
[10:26] (Flashback) Tiana
    I'll be able to graduate a year early!
[10:28] (Flashback) Alex
    That's, well...
[10:32] (Flashback) Lynn
    She's just like the rumors said.
[10:36] (Flashback) Tiana
    Who's that?
[10:37] (Flashback) Lynn
    I'm Lynn, the eldest daughter
    of the Delcott family.
[10:41] (Flashback) Tiana
    Oh, those merchants who got rich...
[10:43] (Flashback) Alex
    Don't talk to her like that.
[10:46] (Flashback) Alex
    I heard you're bullying her at school, too.
[10:49] (Flashback) Tiana
    Huh?!
[10:50] (Flashback) Alex
    Tiana, I know you've got it out for Lynn.
[10:55] (Flashback) Tiana
    What are you talking about?
[10:56] (Flashback) Lynn
    You even seduced the school's teachers...
[10:58] (Flashback) Tiana
    You just insulted not only me,
    but the entire school.
[11:03] (Flashback) Alex
    The teachers are suspected of taking
    bribes to change students' grades.
[11:09] (Flashback) Tiana
    Th-That's ridiculous...
[11:10] Alex
    You need to stop, Tiana!
[11:13] (Flashback) Tiana
    A-Alex?
[11:15] (Flashback) Alex
    It's always the same thing with you.
[11:16] (Flashback) Alex
    You're either bragging about your magic
[11:18] (Flashback) Alex
    or looking down on people who aren't
    as rich and powerful as you.
[11:21] (Flashback) Alex
    You always said you were
    "working hard for me," right?
[11:24] (Flashback) Alex
    Working hard for me? Hah!
[11:26] (Flashback) Alex
    Do you know what they're all saying about me
    now that you're the school's top student?
[11:30] (Flashback) Alex
    I was supposed to be in the
    Mages Union like my father,
[11:33] (Flashback) Alex
    and now my fiancée is better than me!
[11:35] (Flashback) Alex
    Do you know what they say?
[11:38] (Flashback) Tiana
    Alex...
[11:40] (Flashback) Alex
    It's over.
[11:41] (Flashback) Alex
    My engagement to you...
    All those days of humiliation...
[11:46] (Flashback) Alex
    Tiana...
[11:48] (Flashback) Alex
    who was it you were looking at?
[12:26] Alex
    Who was it you were looking at?
[12:30] Alex
    Who were you seeing in front of you?
[12:39] Tiana
    Maybe I was only seeing myself.

    That's the scary thing about gambling.
[13:44] Tiana
    It wasn't long before I went through the

    Oh, one stewed mole-pig offal,

[14:36] Nick
    Your fiancé dumped you, huh?
[14:38] Nick
    That's rough.
[14:40] Zem
    You're in no position to talk.
[14:41] Nick
    Wow, harsh. What about you, Mr. Cleric?
[14:51] Zem
    I...
[14:54] Zem
    My city is known for its medicinal herbs,
[14:56] Zem
    and for its temple worshiping the
    god of Divine Inspiration, Medler.
[15:00] Zem
    I was a cleric there.

    Father Zem! Father Zem!
[15:05] (Flashback) Miril
    Look at this!
[15:09] (Flashback) Miril
    I even found some Pilchard Grass.
[15:11] (Flashback) Zem
    Wonderful.
[15:13] (Flashback) Zem
    Thank you, Miril.
[15:16] (Flashback) Zem
    Here's a little something for you.
[15:22] (Flashback) Miril
    Bye, Father Zem!
[15:33] (Flashback) Miril
    Father Zem!
[15:35] (Flashback) Zem
    Hello, Miril.
[15:36] (Flashback) Zem
    You're later than usual today.
[15:38] (Flashback) Miril
    I was working extra hard for you!
[15:45] (Flashback) Miril
    Father Zem, do you like me?
[15:48] (Flashback) Zem
    You're being a spoiled
    little girl today, I see.
[15:50] (Flashback) Miril
    No, I'm all grown up!
[15:54] (Flashback) Miril
    But...
[15:55] (Flashback) Miril
    I want to be more of a grown-up.
[16:00] (Flashback) Zem
    Thank you, Miril.
[16:02] (Flashback) Zem
    But listen to me. I'm a man of the cloth.
[16:07] (Flashback) Zem
    I'm not allowed to date anyone.
[16:10] (Flashback) Zem
    You should expend your
    efforts for your own sake.
[16:17] (Flashback) Miril
    Father Zem, you jerk!
[16:19] (Flashback) Miril
    I hate you!
[16:32] (Flashback) Miril
    This is your fault, Father Zem.
[16:38] (Flashback) Patient
    Thank you, Father Zem.
[16:40] (Flashback) Zem
    Not at all...
[16:42] (Flashback) Patient
    Oh, I haven't congratulated you yet.
[16:46] (Flashback) Patient
    I've heard you're being
    promoted to High Cleric!
[16:50] (Flashback) Zem
    That's a strange rumor to spread
    about a young kid like me.
[16:55] (Flashback) Priest
    Out of the way!
[16:56] (Flashback) Priest
    Is Zem here?!
[16:59] (Flashback) Zem
    What's going on?
[17:01] (Flashback) Zem
    Miril! What's wrong?
[17:04] (Flashback) Zem
    Poor thing...
[17:06] (Flashback) Zem
    Who did this?
[17:08] (Flashback) Priest B
    Don't play dumb!
[17:10] (Flashback) Priest B
    You were even paying her!
[17:14] (Flashback) Zem
    M-Miril!
[17:16] (Flashback) Miril
    I believed in you, Father Zem!
[17:23] (Flashback) Zem
    Miril...
[17:31] (Flashback) Guard
    Are you too good for the
    food here, Your Holiness?
[17:35] Zem
    Three months.
[17:37] Zem
    I was in there for three months
    before being banished.
[17:40] Zem
    Nobody believed I was innocent.
[17:43] (Flashback) Citizen
    Get out of our city, pervert!
[17:48] (Flashback) Patient
    I was a fool to believe in you!
[18:01] (Flashback) Velkia
    Oh, Father! Welcome!
[18:04] (Flashback) Velkia
    Are you on a pilgrimage?
[18:08] (Flashback) Zem
    Something like that.
[18:14] (Flashback) Zem
    Are you in need of healing?
[18:38] (Flashback) Velkia
    Did you sleep well?
[18:41] (Flashback) Velkia
    Thanks to you, the pain in my back is gone.
[18:44] (Flashback) Velkia
    You saw for yourself, right?
[18:56] (Flashback) Zem
    You shouldn't overwork yourself.
[18:57] (Flashback) Zem
    Chronic back pain takes time to heal.
[19:03] (Flashback) Velkia
    You'll have to stay here
    a little longer, then.
[19:07] (Flashback) Velkia
    That was a joke.
[19:08] (Flashback) Velkia
    You should go to Labyrinth City
    and become an adventurer.
[19:14] (Flashback) Velkia
    Make friends. Fall in love.
[19:17] (Flashback) Velkia
    Let loose once in a while.
[19:20] (Flashback) Velkia
    Go out and see the world.
[19:23] (Flashback) Velkia
    You're not a criminal.
[19:28] (Flashback) Velkia
    Right?
[19:29] (Flashback) Zem
    But I...
[19:33] (Flashback) Velkia
    Oh, I've got something for you.
[19:41] (Flashback) Zem
    I can't accept this.
[19:44] (Flashback) Velkia
    Think of it as a donation
    to the church, Father.
[19:48] (Flashback) Zem
    "Former" Father.
[19:51] (Flashback) Velkia
    Some idiot stayed here once and left
    it as collateral for the room charge.
[19:57] (Flashback) Velkia
    You have to live, don't you?
[20:00] (Flashback) Zem
    Right.
[20:01] Nick
    And then you took a bit too much of
    a liking to the ladies, is that it?
[20:05] Zem
    That's a rude way to put it,
    but yes, essentially.
[20:11] Tiana
    Maybe all guys are like that.
[20:17] Nick
    Well, I can't believe
    everything you guys say.
[20:21] Nick
    They're just stories told over a mug of beer.
[20:24] Nick
    Stories from people I'll never
    see again after tonight.
[20:28] Nick
    It's the same for you all, right?
[20:30] Tiana
    Yes, that's true.
[20:33] Zem
    I'm actually going to defeat
    the Demon King after this.
[20:39] Nick
    And?
[20:41] Nick
    Is it your turn?
[20:45] Curran
    I...
[20:51] Curran
    Something important was stolen from me...
[20:56] Curran
    By the person who was
    most important to me...
[20:59] Curran
    So I says to the guy, I says,
    "You can't take it!"
[21:03] Zem
    She's falling-down drunk...
[21:05] Curran
    Are you listening?
[21:06] Zem
    Yes, I'm listening!
[21:08] Curran
    So anyway, I says to him...
[21:13] (Flashback) Claudine
    Wow...
[21:16] (Flashback) Claudine
    You're the best!
[21:19] (Flashback) Claudine
    So,
[21:21] (Flashback) Claudine
    let's break up, then!
[21:22] (Flashback) Nick
    What are you talking about?
[21:26] (Flashback) Leon
    Girls don't like pushy guys!
[21:29] (Flashback) Nick
    Why do you have that?!
[21:32] (Flashback) Claudine
    Nick, you really were... the best
    mark for a con I've ever met!
[21:36] (Flashback) Nick
    Wait, Claudine!
[21:38] (Flashback) Nick
    Tell me it's not true!
[21:43] Nick
    Ow...
[21:51] Nick
    Who are these people?
[21:54] Curran
    I can't eat another bite...
[21:59] (Flashback) Nick; Zem; Curran; Tiana
    You just can't trust anyone!
[22:05] Nick
    So, who the hell are you?
[22:07] Nick
    Get out of here.
[22:08] Nick
    Also, where the hell am I?
[22:10] Tiana
    I'm Tiana the mage, and this is my room.
[22:14] Tiana
    You need to leave, not me.
[22:17] Nick
    'Kay, bye.
[22:19] Zem
    I've embarrassed myself so badly...
[22:20] Curran
    Sorry.
[22:30] (Flashback) Agate
    I-I'm an idol!
[22:36] Nick
    Wait...
[22:40] Nick
    Wait a second!
[22:41] Nick
    Is this really okay?
[22:43] Zem
    What?
[22:45] Nick
    If we split up, can we make
    enough money to survive?
[22:53] Nick
    Whether it's being an idol otaku,
    or eating too much fancy food,
[22:55] Nick
    or gambling, or carousing with girls...
[22:58] Nick
    We don't even know if we'll have enough
    money to rent a room the next day,
[23:02] Nick
    let alone do the things we love!
[23:04] Nick
    Is it okay for us to just live like that?
[23:08] Nick
    Are you okay with that?
[23:09] Nick
    Do the things we love mean so little to us?
[23:14] Zem
    But that doesn't mean...
[23:16] Nick
    So why don't we...
[23:18] Nick
    If the four of us can't trust anybody,
[23:20] Nick
    why don't we all form a party together?
[23:23] Old Man Kizuna
    Someday, the four of them
    would go on to save the world.
[23:30] Old Man Kizuna
    But that won't happen for
    a long, long time...

[00:03] Receptionist
    U-Um...
[00:05] Party
    Yes?
[00:06] Vilma
    Hey! Don't go making our
    pretty little receptionist cry.
[00:12] Vilma
    So you're Nick?
[00:14] Vilma
    From Masters of War?
[00:17] Nick
    Yeah. If you know me,
    that'll make this fast.
[00:20] Vilma
    Let's see...
[00:21] Vilma
    Swashbuckler, Dragoon, Mage, Cleric.
[00:25] Vilma
    A nicely balanced party.
[00:29] Vilma
    Oh, so the survivor girl is back at it?
[00:35] Nick
    What do you mean?
[00:37] Vilma
    Her.
[00:39] Vilma
    She achieved a miracle by coming back
    alive alone from a C-Rank labyrinth.
[00:43] Vilma
    The guilds talk about her.
[00:47] Nick
    Survivor, huh?
[00:50] Curran
    Survivor...
[00:52] Tiana
    Curran?
[00:53] Vilma
    I'm sure you've been through a lot,
[00:56] Vilma
    but the most important ability an adventurer
    can have is the ability to come back alive.
[01:02] Zem
    To come back alive...
[01:05] Vilma
    So what will you name your party?
[01:09] Nick
    Survivors...
[01:12] Nick
    We're going to come back
    here alive, no matter what.
[01:16] Nick
    So why don't we call ourselves "Survivors"?
[01:18] Zem
    It's a little obvious.
[01:19] Tiana
    But not bad.
[01:21] Curran
    Survivors...
[01:23] Nick
    Curran?
[01:25] Curran
    I like it.
[01:27] Curran
    It's important to be tough to kill!
[01:31] Vilma
    So your name will be...
[01:33] Party
    Survivors!

[03:19] Nick
    As disillusioned adventurers, we're going
    to set out three laws for ourselves.
[03:24] Zem
    "Laws" is a bit of an exaggeration.
[03:26] Curran
    The Three Laws of the Survivors!
[03:28] Nick
    What's the first, Tiana?
[03:30] Tiana
    No interfering with other peoples' hobbies!
[03:32] Nick
    Zem.
[03:33] Zem
    Watch the money.
[03:34] Nick
    Curran.
[03:35] Curran
    Come back alive, no matter what.
[03:36] Nick
    That's right.
[03:38] Nick
    For the money, we'll all have a part in
    keeping it safe, instead of just one person.
[03:42] Nick
    I'll handle the books.
[03:44] Nick
    Tiana checks what I put in the books
    and holds the money we carry with us.
[03:46] Nick
    Curran's in charge of the safe.
[03:47] Curran
    I-I'm kind of nervous...
[03:50] Nick
    I'll get you a really sturdy one
    that can't be busted open
[03:52] Nick
    with a sledgehammer, or even magic.
[03:54] Nick
    And Zem will handle the key...
[03:55] Zem
    Forcing.
[03:57] Zem
    It's a technique used by magicians.
    You're making it look like you're assigning roles,
[04:00] Zem
    but actually arranging things
    to benefit yourself.
[04:04] Nick
    That's just what I wanted to hear!
[04:05] Nick
    If anything else seems sketchy, tell me.
[04:07] Tiana
    In fact...
[04:09] Tiana
    It's actually Nick who's going to have the
    hardest time getting into the safe like this.
[04:13] Nick
    'Cause I'd have to get past you to do it.
[04:17] Zem
    Why not try to break into the
    safe while we're all asleep?
[04:20] Curran
    I'm gonna eat so much yummy food!
[04:22] Tiana
    Look. She's all set to steal from the party!
[04:25] Zem
    You're being careful about this.
[04:28] Nick
    I learned from my time at Masters of War
[04:32] Nick
    that just putting someone in charge
    of something isn't "trust".
[04:34] Nick
    "Trust" means everyone recognizing that
    the other person isn't out to hurt them.
[04:37] Zem
    You're telling us to both trust,
    and doubt, each other.
[04:42] Curran
    Th-That's difficult.
[04:45] Nick
    Curran.
[04:47] Nick
    Can you bring yourself to believe in me?
[04:53] Curran
    I'd like to, I think.
[04:58] Curran
    But...
[04:59] Curran
    It's hard to believe in someone.
    And even harder to doubt them.
[05:05] Tiana
    Believing in someone
    is the easiest thing in the world.
[05:07] Zem
    'Cause, in a sense, you're letting
    someone else take charge of your fate.
[05:12] Nick
    Yeah.
[05:13] Nick
    And doing that is what brought us here.
[05:16] Nick
    That's why we all need to be
    very skeptical of each other.
[05:23] Curran
    But... I want to believe in everyone.
[05:28] Tiana
    Well...
[05:31] Nick
    We feel the same way.
[05:33] Zem
    We want to believe.
[05:40] Zem
    The Sticky Aqueducts.
[05:42] Nick
    We're starting at G-Rank, which means
    we're only allowed access to three labyrinths.
[05:47] Nick
    We need to go into two of them and defeat
    the bosses there to be promoted to F-Rank.
[05:53] Tiana
    It sounds easy, the way you're putting it.
[05:55] Nick
    And it's not that hard, actually.
[05:57] Nick
    They're basically practice areas
    for us to learn the ropes.
[06:02] Zem
    But Tiana and I have never
    been in combat before.
[06:06] Tiana
    And I can't imagine what I learned
    at school being too useful here.
[06:09] Nick
    True...
[06:11] Nick
    I can't imagine someone
    getting killed here...
[06:14] Nick
    No, I suppose you might,
    if you let yourself get cocky.
[06:21] Nick
    There it is.
[06:23] Tiana
    That?
[06:24] Nick
    This is Survivors' first prey.
[06:28] Nick
    A slime!
[06:29] Tiana
    It's cuter than I expected.
[06:32] Curran
    It's chewing grass!
[06:34] Curran
    Is that grass yummy?
[06:35] Nick
    It may look harmless,
    but it'll eat anything.
[06:39] Nick
    If it gets too big, it'll go to a farm
    somewhere and start eating the cows.
[06:42] Zem
    That would be a problem.
[06:44] Nick
    That said...
[06:47] Nick
    You can defeat a slime empty-handed
    just by grabbing its core.
[06:49] Nick
    This is where we'll get our money.
    So make sure you don't leave any behind.
[06:54] Zem
    Okay, Teacher Nick!
[07:00] Zem
    Tiana, joining this party
    is a gamble for you, right?
[07:04] Tiana
    Hey!
[07:05] Tiana
    Teacher Nick, Zem is interfering
    with somebody's hobbies.
[07:09] Zem
    Oh, that's right.
[07:12] Nick
    If you're talking instead of paying
    attention, you're going to regret it.
[07:15] Tiana
    Okay, Teacher.
[07:19] Nick
    Maybe we were right to
    form a party together.
[07:24] Nick
    Maybe, if I'm with them, I can...
[07:30] Zem
    I know they're monsters, but it still feels
    wrong to take a living creature's life.
[07:35] Nick
    But if we don't get rid of the miasma,
[07:37] Nick
    normal plants and animals
    will become monsters, too.
[07:40] Tiana
    If you don't cull the monsters
    and get rid of the miasma,
[07:44] Tiana
    the labyrinths will grow bigger.
[07:46] Tiana
    You'll just have to keep
    telling yourself that.
[07:48] Zem
    But why do monsters attack people?
[07:52] Tiana
    There's extensive research on trying
    to communicate with monsters.
[07:56] Tiana
    But all monsters, regardless
    of type, attack people.
[07:59] Zem
    So we have to fight them?
[08:02] Zem
    That's kind of sad.
[08:04] Nick
    Yeah.
[08:06] Nick
    Just don't let your guard down.
[08:09] Tiana
    But we've gone up a few floors,
[08:10] Tiana
    and the only change we've seen is that
    there's more of them and they've gotten faster.
[08:15] Tiana
    I may not look it, but I've defeated
    orcs and goblins, you know.
[08:23] Nick
    The ones on this floor will
    shoot sticky fluids at you,
[08:26] Nick
    and if you step on them they have the
    same lethal power as a banana peel.
[08:30] Nick
    So as I was saying...
[08:32] Tiana
    "Don't let your guard down."
[08:36] Tiana
    I know.
[08:37] Tiana
    No letting your guard down.
    Your safety's your responsibility.
[08:40] Tiana
    This was my fault.
[08:42] Tiana
    Ow...
[08:44] Tiana
    But...
[08:45] Tiana
    I'm going to pay them back for that!
[08:47] Nick
    Wait!
[08:48] Tiana
    Icicle Dance!
[09:03] Tiana
    Y-You're okay...
[09:08] Tiana
    right?
[09:09] Tiana
    I'm sorry I just fired off a spell like that,
    but you should be more careful...
[09:13] Curran
    I tried to believe in you!
[09:17] Curran
    I wanted to believe in you, Tiana!
[09:23] Tiana
    What? I-I'm trying, too...
[09:27] Curran
    Next time...
[09:30] Curran
    I might be the one to make a mistake.
[09:37] Tiana
    What the hell?
[09:39] Tiana
    I was trying to believe in you, too.
[09:52] Tiana
    We're up to the top floor already?
[09:54] Nick
    Everything that happens here
    will teach you something.
[09:56] Nick
    So stay focused until the very end.
[10:12] Zem
    Nick! Nick!
[10:14] Zem
    There's a really big one up ahead of us!
[10:16] Nick
    That's a huge slime,
    the boss of the Sticky Aqueducts.
[10:19] Nick
    So here's his deal...
[10:20] Zem
    Tiana?
[10:22] Tiana
    I can deal with him myself!
[10:25] Nick
    Well, I guess it's okay.
[10:29] Tiana
    Ice Spear!
[10:39] Tiana
    How about that?
[10:40] Nick
    Get away, Tiana!
[10:58] Curran
    I can't trust her.
[11:00] Zem
    Huh? What was that?
[11:03] Nick
    Huge slimes react to powerful magic
    by sending slime everywhere.
[11:08] Tiana
    If you'd just told me,
    I could've done something.
[11:11] Nick
    And if you'd told me what kind of magic you
    were using, I could've given you advice.
[11:16] Nick
    And Zem...
[11:17] Zem
    Yes?
[11:19] Nick
    You belong in the rear,
    not the front, right?
[11:22] Zem
    I felt guilty just sitting in the rear...
[11:25] Nick
    No, that's your job.
[11:28] Nick
    Or did you think it would be
    faster to defeat it yourself
[11:31] Nick
    instead of counting on your
    fellow party members?
[11:34] Zem
    That's right.
[11:39] Nick
    I think this is a good time.
[11:44] Nick
    This is every weapon I own.
[11:46] Nick
    I'm good at unarmed combat,
    with daggers, and with scouting.
[11:49] Nick
    Also, I'm good with handling
    items and bookkeeping.
[11:54] Nick
    I don't know a damn thing about magic.
[11:56] Nick
    And I can't use heavy weapons.
[11:59] Nick
    Nor perform alchemy or healing spells.
[12:03] Tiana
    Is this your way of showing us your secrets?
[12:07] Nick
    You can't trust the people around you
[12:10] Nick
    because you don't know
    what they're capable of.
[12:12] Nick
    I think if we better understood each other,
    we might trust each other more.
[12:17] Tiana
    So we're all supposed to
    reveal our weaknesses?
[12:21] Nick
    No.
[12:22] Nick
    I know you've all got your reasons
    for being the way you are,
[12:25] Nick
    assuming we all believe
    each other's stories.
[12:30] Nick
    The one thing we all have in common
[12:32] Nick
    is that someone exploited us
    for what we're good at.
[12:35] Nick
    Some people were jealous of our skills.
[12:37] Nick
    Some people took advantage
    of them to deceive us.
[12:40] Nick
    That's how we became disillusioned,
[12:43] Nick
    and that makes us reluctant
    to reveal our true skills.
[12:47] Nick
    So if you don't want to tell us,
    you don't have to.
[12:51] Nick
    Our time together is uncertain, but if you
    want to talk at some point down the road,
[12:54] Nick
    you can do it then.
[12:57] Nick
    But instead... there's one
    thing I want you to decide:
[13:01] Nick
    what you hope to accomplish in this party.
[13:03] Curran
    What I hope to accomplish...
[13:09] Zem
    If you wanted to defeat me, it would be easy.
[13:11] Zem
    Swords, fists, magic...
    I'm weak to all those.
[13:14] Zem
    But you wouldn't want to
    take a long time doing it.
[13:18] Zem
    'Cause I can heal small wounds with magic!
[13:22] Nick
    Stop talking like somebody's
    going to try and kill you.
[13:24] Zem
    My apologies.
[13:42] Tiana
    I'm a mage.
[13:44] Tiana
    Wind and water are my best elements.
[13:47] Tiana
    I can also use lightning
    as a combination of the two.
[13:50] Tiana
    I can use earth, as well,
    but I'm not as strong with it.
[13:53] Tiana
    And I can barely use fire magic at all.
[13:58] Tiana
    I screwed up this morning.
[14:02] Tiana
    I'm sorry.
[14:05] Tiana
    I'm helpless against earth and fire attacks,
    as well as quick attacks at close range.
[14:11] Curran
    Why are you telling me this?
[14:13] Tiana
    Oh, that's right.
[14:16] Tiana
    You're good with fire and
    close-range attacks.
[14:19] Curran
    And?
[14:20] Tiana
    No, I was just thinking I should've
    kept my mouth shut. That's all.
[14:55] Tiana
    Thanks.
[14:57] Curran
    Too bad.
[15:00] Curran
    I was planning on burning you
    to a crisp... but I missed.
[15:06] Tiana
    Well, don't miss next time.
[15:10] Tiana
    Or I won't be able to trust you when
    you're out fighting in front of me.
[15:16] Curran
    Leave it to me.
[15:21] Nick
    Okay, last up is the Goblin Forest.
[15:24] Nick
    Mostly goblins live here.
[15:28] Nick
    Goblins are weak individually,
    but fight in packs.
[15:31] Nick
    You need to make sure you don't get surrounded.
[15:37] Nick
    You okay?
[15:40] Zem
    I guess humanoid monsters aren't
    as easy to defeat as slimes.
[15:44] Nick
    They've got a degree of intelligence,
[15:46] Nick
    so they can use simple words to
    organize and attack in formation!
[15:51] Zem
    I didn't realize how strong Nick was...
[15:54] Tiana
    Idle talk will cost you three dinah!
[15:58] Zem
    Thank you!
[16:00] Nick
    That's most of them in this area.
[16:04] Nick
    I'll check the surrounding area.
[16:06] Tiana
    Oh, I can handle that.
[16:08] Tiana
    Detect Magic!
[16:11] Tiana
    There are 10 or so to the northeast
    in about 500 meters...
[16:15] Tiana
    I think.
[16:17] Tiana
    They're spread out,
    but the closest is there.
[16:21] Nick
    How can you tell?
[16:22] Tiana
    Detect Magic can find any traces of
    magic within a three kilometer radius.
[16:27] Nick
    You're amazing.
[16:30] Zem
    Not many people could detect
    magic across that wide an area.
[16:34] Tiana
    I've learned we can't trust Nick, though.
[16:37] Zem
    That's right.
[16:39] Nick
    Why not?
[16:41] Tiana
    When you told us about your skills,
    you didn't say you could fight like that.
[16:45] Zem
    You seem to have a major problem with
    your ability to evaluate yourself.
[16:49] Curran
    That's right!
[16:50] Curran
    You were so strong, I barely
    got to do anything!
[16:53] Zem
    And I just shared my own weakness like an idiot.
[16:56] Nick
    I mean, well...
[16:58] Tiana
    What the hell?
[17:00] Nick
    What's wrong?
[17:01] Tiana
    One of them has way too
    much magic to be a goblin.
[17:05] Tiana
    Five times normal.
[17:07] Nick
    That's bad.
[17:09] Zem
    Any idea what it might be?
[17:11] Nick
    An ogre, probably.
[17:13] Nick
    An evolved version of a hobgoblin
    that's vastly more powerful.
[17:17] Zem
    And difficult even for you?
[17:20] Nick
    Even if we work together,
    if we're not careful... you know.
[17:24] Nick
    We don't have enough experience
    working together as a team.
[17:29] Zem
    What should we do, then? Retreat?
[17:33] Nick
    No, that's not an option.
[17:35] Nick
    If we don't stop it here,
[17:37] Nick
    that pack will absorb the others around it
[17:40] Nick
    and finally start to attack
    the people who live nearby.
[17:43] Nick
    And more than anything... it's worth money.
[17:48] Zem
    I hate to say it, but, yeah...
[17:50] Tiana
    Ogres are highly resistant to magic, right?
[17:55] Tiana
    I won't be able to do much
    more than distract it.
[17:57] Nick
    In the end, Curran and I will
    just have to deal with it.
[18:02] Nick
    The plan's simple.
[18:04] Nick
    Tiana uses spells to distract it,
[18:06] Nick
    Zem buffs with his magic,
[18:08] Nick
    and Curran and I attack.
[18:10] Nick
    But if we're going to break through
    the tough skin of an ogre,
[18:14] Nick
    Curran, we need your attack power.
[18:25] Curran
    Don't worry. I'm fine.
[18:28] Nick
    Okay, let's go.
[18:36] Curran
    Tiana.
[18:38] Curran
    I still don't fully trust you.
[18:42] Curran
    I'd like to, but I don't know if I can.
[18:48] Tiana
    Don't worry.
[18:51] Tiana
    That's true for me, too...
[18:53] Tiana
    No, for everybody, I'm sure.
[19:00] Tiana
    We all think that.
[19:03] Tiana
    We don't know if we can trust
    each other... but we want to.
[19:10] Tiana
    Here it comes.
[19:12] Tiana
    Go. With your back turned towards me.
[19:15] Tiana
    Can you do that?
[19:17] Curran
    I can...
[19:20] Curran
    I can do that much!
[19:23] Nick
    Let's go!

    Unyielding Fortress! Iron Strength!

    Icicle Dance!

    Attack!
[19:47] Curran
    What I want to accomplish...
[19:49] Curran
    What I want to accomplish in this party...
[19:52] Curran
    I knew that from the start!
[19:55] Curran
    I want to believe in everyone!
[20:00] Curran
    She apologized instead of blaming me
    for running out in front.
[20:05] Curran
    She's a noble!
[20:07] Curran
    She's probably never had
    to apologize to anyone!
[20:12] Curran
    I won't look behind me!
[20:14] Curran
    I'll believe! I'll believe to the end!
[20:28] Curran
    I'll...
[20:31] Curran
    believe and believe and believe and believe!
[20:34] Curran
    Fire Dragon Strike!
[20:50] Curran
    Well? I did it!
[20:52] Curran
    See? Turning my back on Tiana
    was as easy as eating happonyaki!
[20:56] Tiana
    Oh? This might not be the only
    chance I get to aim at you.
[21:00] Curran
    Really?
[21:02] Curran
    I won't let you beat me!
[21:04] Tiana
    Look forward to it.
[21:06] Zem
    Do those two not like each other?
[21:11] Nick
    Maybe not.
[21:21] Nick
    Want to help, guys?
[21:23] Tiana
    I don't get involved with
    people's private hobbies.
[21:27] Nick
    I'm not doing it because it's my hobby!
[21:29] Zem
    We have to do it if we want to get paid.
[21:33] Tiana
    It's tough being an adventurer.
[21:35] Curran
    It's easy when you get used to it.
[21:42] Calios
    You don't have to learn anything, Curran.
[21:46] Curran
    They didn't teach me anything last time.
[21:50] Nick
    Whew, that was close.
[21:51] Nick
    This one was in the process of evolving.
[21:53] Nick
    If we'd had another ogre,
    it would've been bad.
[21:57] Nick
    It's stuck on!
[22:00] Nick
    Damn it!
[22:04] Nick
    Sorry, you okay?

    Y-Yeah...

    Dragonians are a proud race, with a destiny.
[02:13] Curran
    Their destiny is to serve the human who
    will become the hero, and save the world.
[02:20] Shopkeep
    You can hold them in your hands
    for a better look, miss.
[02:29] Curran
    How much is this?
[02:31] Shopkeep
    20,000 dinah.
[02:34] Curran
    20,000...
[02:35] Shopkeep
    Sorry. No discounts.
[02:44] Curran
    Wh-What's wrong?
[02:46] Shopkeep
    You're a Dragonian! You need to be careful!
[02:50] Shopkeep
    I can't sell it, now that it's damaged.
[02:53] Curran
    I didn't do it!
[02:55] Curran
    It wasn't me!
[02:56] Shopkeep
    It's okay to be careless, occasionally.
[02:58] Shopkeep
    But it's not nice to lie.
[03:01] Curran
    B-But...
[03:02] Shopkeep
    You look like you just came out
    of the backwoods,
[03:05] Shopkeep
    but here in the Labyrinth City,
    we take these things seriously.
[03:10] Shopkeep
    I'm not a monster.
    I know you didn't mean it.
[03:15] Shopkeep
    I'll let it slide if you
    buy it for half price.
[03:18] Shopkeep
    Or would you rather we take
    this to the Solar Knights?
[03:23] Calios
    I told you to talk to me when
    you go shopping, Curran.
[03:27] Curran
    Calios!
[03:29] Shopkeep
    That Dragonian girl ruined
    a 20,000 dinah pendant!
[03:35] Shopkeep
    I can't sell it now...
[03:37] Curran
    C-Calios...
[03:39] Calios
    Try scratching this pendant.
[03:43] Shopkeep
    Wh-What?!
[03:45] Calios
    You can't sell it anyway, right?
[03:47] Calios
    So who cares what she does with it?
[03:49] Shopkeep
    That's only if I get my 10,000 dinah!
[03:54] Calios
    Sure, I'll pay for it.
[03:56] Calios
    You know what'll happen
    if I do, though, right?
[03:59] Calios
    Just try it.
[04:17] Calios
    Can you make a smaller scratch on it?
[04:19] Curran
    N-No.
[04:22] Calios
    You heard the lady.
[04:24] Calios
    You were likely trying to foist damaged
    goods on her, but you picked the wrong girl.
[04:28] Shopkeep
    I-It's got nothing to do with you!
[04:30] Calios
    I'm the one who paid the money.
[04:32] Shopkeep
    Wh-What are you doing?!
[04:35] Calios
    It's an old con.
[04:38] Calios
    He swapped it for the damaged pendant,
    to make it look like you'd done it.
[04:44] Calios
    So, you wanted to take this
    to the Solar Knights, right?
[04:48] Shopkeep
    No, well...
[04:51] Calios
    Curran, do you want this pendant?
[04:53] Curran
    Y-Yes...
[04:55] Calios
    I'm taking this in exchange
    for not turning you in.
[04:58] Calios
    And you'll give me back the
    gold piece I just gave you.
[05:01] Shopkeep
    Damn it!
[05:04] Calios
    Here you go.
[05:09] Curran
    Calios...
[05:13] Curran
    Dragonians are a proud race, with a destiny.
[05:16] Curran
    Their destiny is to serve the human who
    will become the hero, and save the world.
[05:21] Curran
    I believed that it was him. I worshiped
    him and gave him everything I had.
[05:27] Curran
    I believed in him completely. And every
    day I spent with him was wonderful.
[05:47] Calios
    Are you ready, Curran?
[05:50] Calios
    What's all that gear?
[05:52] Calios
    You won't be able to beat our foe
    today without light equipment.
[05:55] Curran
    But...
[05:58] Calios
    Nobody's brave enough to
    try and steal from you!
[06:03] Calios
    And we'll be coming back alive,
    no matter what, right?
[06:08] Curran
    Yeah.
[06:10] Curran
    You're right.
[06:11] Curran
    Ten years after the war,
    with the world at peace,
[06:15] Curran
    I was so lucky to meet
    someone I could serve.
[06:20] Curran
    Fire Dragon Strike!
[06:29] Mage
    Amazing, Curran! You're incredible!
[06:32] Cleric
    You're even stronger than S-Rank!
[06:36] Calios
    Well done, Curran!
[06:46] Curran
    You sure I don't have to help?
[06:49] Cleric
    Don't take any more of our jobs, okay?
[06:52] Mage
    You've got that right!
[06:55] Calios
    That's the right thing to say.
    I'm happy you feel that way.
[06:59] Calios
    But an adventurer has to trust their party.
[07:04] Curran
    Yes, but...
[07:06] Calios
    If you're not good at something,
    leave it to somebody else.
[07:09] Calios
    Just do the things you're good at.
[07:14] Calios
    I'm counting on you, Curran.
[07:17] Curran
    Of course! Leave it to me, Calios!
[07:24] Calios
    We're almost to the pot snake.
[07:27] Calios
    It's wary, and if it hides in its pot,
    magic won't work on it.
[07:32] Calios
    But if you smash into its pot,
    it'll get angry and come out.
[07:35] Calios
    That's where you come in!
[07:37] Calios
    Of course, it'll attack whoever comes at it.
[07:39] Calios
    But we'll do everything
    we can to protect you.
[07:42] Cleric
    Believe in us!
[07:43] Curran
    Okay! Leave it to me, Calios!
[08:04] Calios
    Great, Curran!
[08:05] Curran
    Thanks!
[08:15] Calios
    Okay, back her up!
[08:29] Curran
    Calios, what's that?!
[08:31] Calios
    It's just trying to scare you!
[08:33] Calios
    Stay focused!
[08:34] Calios
    We'll get ready to deal the killing blow!
[08:36] Calios
    Keep it occupied!
[08:37] Curran
    O-Okay!
[08:44] Curran
    Calios, are you ready yet?
[08:49] Curran
    Calios!
[08:57] Curran
    Calios, help...
[09:10] Calios
    It builds up powerful poison in its body
    that it will unleash in emergencies.
[09:15] Calios
    But after that, it becomes temporarily weak.
[09:22] Calios
    Which means we can handle
    the rest on our own.
[09:25] Calios
    Thank you, Curran.
[09:27] Curran
    Wh-Why?
[09:30] Mage
    She's still talking!
[09:33] Calios
    Dragonians are a scary race. They're tough.
[09:37] Calios
    Now, let's get what we came for and go home!
[09:41] Curran
    Help me...
[09:43] Curran
    Calios!
[09:45] Cleric
    I can't hold it all!
[09:48] Curran
    Wait, Calios!
[10:06] Curran
    The Dragon King's Jewel...
[10:08] Curran
    I need it back...
[10:11] (Flashback) Curran's Father
    I used the finest materials and spent
    a year empowering it with magic.
[10:15] (Flashback) Curran's Father
    It will stay with you your whole life,
    and grow alongside you.
[10:20] Curran
    I need to protect it...
[10:33] Innkeeper
    Weren't you with Calios?
[10:36] Adventurers
    She came back?
[10:37] Adventurers
    She's alive?
[10:39] Adventurers
    I can't believe it!
[10:42] Curran
    Wh-Where's Calios?
[10:45] Innkeeper
    Um... well...
[10:49] Innkeeper
    He said you died in the labyrinth.
[10:54] Curran
    My things!
[10:55] Curran
    Where are my things?!
[10:57] Innkeeper
    Calios said something about sending
    them back to your family!
[11:06] (Flashback) Calios
    I'm counting on you, Curran.
[11:56] Curran
    Food...
[11:59] Curran
    Maybe I should eat.
[12:05] Curran
    Is this enough?
[12:10] Fifs
    Excuse me.
[12:21] Clerk
    Welcome!
[12:25] Fifs
    One pork ginger plate.
[12:27] Clerk
    Sure thing!
[12:29] Men
    Hey, isn't that...
[12:31] Men
    Yeah, it's him!
    Fifs, the Solo Eater!
[12:36] Curran
    Fifs...
[12:37] Clerk
    Here you go!
[12:57] Curran
    He's so cool!
[13:00] Clerk
    Welcome!
[13:06] Curran
    One pork ginger plate.
[13:08] Clerk
    Okay, chef, whip up another
    pork ginger plate!
[13:11] Curran
    After that, I would hear people talking about
    him every time I came into the restaurant.
[13:17] Curran
    He was so strong that the guild let
    him go into the labyrinths solo.
[13:22] Curran
    His registered party name
    was "The Solo Eater".
[13:26] Curran
    They all called him Fifs, the Solo Eater.

    N...
[15:38] Curran
    N-No, thank you!
[15:42] Fifs
    The food here's just too good.
    That's my problem.
[15:45] Fifs
    I'd recommend the shrimp
    and mushrooms in olive oil,
[15:48] Fifs
    but I'll try that next time I come by.
[15:54] Curran
    No, thank you, Fifs.
[15:57] Curran
    You taught me a lot about
    how to enjoy good food.
[16:04] Curran
    That was the last time I saw Fifs.
[16:07] Curran
    From what I heard, he's somewhere
    out there in the labyrinths.
[16:13] Curran
    Being betrayed and stolen from
    opened a hole in my heart.
[16:16] Curran
    And delicious food did
    a good job filling it.
[16:23] Curran
    Which meant my new enemy would be food.
[16:26] Curran
    Good food costs money.
[16:29] Curran
    And I needed to make money.
[16:44] Nick

[16:46] Nick
    No, it's more...
[16:50] Nick
    No, I think it was smaller...
[16:53] Nick
    Why didn't she get mad back then?

    The fact that she didn't
    just makes it scarier...
[17:03] Agate
    It's the stray dog!
[17:04] Nick
    Don't call me that!
[17:06] Agate
    Oh, you're not quite as
    stray as you were before.
[17:10] Nick
    A-Ah... Aga—
[17:14] Agate
    You don't think that means
    she really doesn't care?
[17:18] Nick
    Yeah, but she might be really
    mad and not showing it.
[17:22] Agate
    But how would you or anybody else know?
[17:25] Nick
    True, but...
[17:28] Agate
    Why not ask her where they
    sell it or something?
[17:33] Nick
    You're acting like it's not your problem...
[17:35] Agate
    It's not.
[17:36] Nick
    True.
[17:38] Agate
    You're being selfish.
[17:40] Agate
    You don't care what she thinks.
[17:43] Agate
    You want to apologize by
    giving her something.
[17:46] Agate
    That's selfish, isn't it?
[17:49] Agate
    But I think that's okay.
[17:52] Agate
    I'm sure the reason I talked to you
    that day was that I'm selfish, too.
[17:57] Agate
    If you're not going to be able to
    move on until this is dealt with,
[18:01] Agate
    then why not just be selfish?
[18:04] Nick
    That's one way to put it.
[18:07] Agate
    Your gift to her should be you, yourself.
[18:11] Nick
    Me, myself?
[18:25] Nick
    That looks good!
[18:28] Curran
    Nick! This is happonyaki!

    It's little balls of fried flour with
    chopped up eight-legs inside it!
[18:36] Curran
    Here!
[18:43] Curran
    That's what everybody does!
[18:44] Nick
    My throat's burning so bad,
    I could breathe fire!
[18:47] Nick
    You sure this isn't just for Dragonians?
[18:49] Curran
    Maybe it is!
[18:51] Curran
    Oh, and the little floaty
    things on top are alive.
[18:55] Curran
    Make sure you chew thoroughly or
    they'll eat you from the inside out!
[18:58] Nick
    I already swallowed it!
[19:03] Nick
    She's laughing so cheerfully...
[19:05] Nick
    This must be who Curran is, normally.
[19:10] Nick
    Do you like birds, Curran?
[19:13] Curran
    I do.
[19:15] Nick
    Y-You do?

    No, I mean like, swans...

    First, a map and a list
    of monsters in the area.
[00:38] (Flashback) Nick
    You tell us all the places that
    have already been searched.
[00:40] (Flashback) Nick
    Give us details on the sword, too.
[00:41] (Flashback) Nick
    And guarantee us a minimum
    price regardless of condition.
[00:44] (Flashback) Nick
    And we need that all in writing.
[00:59] Zem
    So we're looking for a sword
    that amplifies a party's power
[01:03] Zem
    based on the bonds between them.
[01:06] Zem
    It's ironic, isn't it?
[01:07] Tiana
    I think it's perfect for us.
[01:09] Curran
    That's right. We're trusting
    each other more and more!
[01:12] Zem
    That's good to hear.
[01:29] Zem
    Automatic lighting, a corridor
    built with everything at almost
[01:32] Zem
    obsessive-compulsive levels
    of regular spacing.
[01:34] Zem
    What kind of civilization was this?
[01:37] Tiana
    Even the monsters are artificial.
[01:41] Nick
    There might be secret passages.
    Let's keep an eye out.
[01:44] Tiana
    Yeah.
[01:45] Curran
    True.
[01:50] Sword of Bonds
    New adventurers? I wonder if they
    can make it all the way here.

[03:36] Zem
    Now we go straight ahead for a bit.
[03:38] Nick
    Roger.
[03:45] Nick
    Hold up.
[03:48] Nick
    What's that?
[03:51] Zem
    There're lamps at dead ends,
    just like our information said.
[03:54] Nick
    No, didn't the documents we
    got say the lamps were red?
[03:59] Zem
    True.
[04:02] Tiana
    Wait!
[04:03] Nick
    Our mission is to explore.
[04:06] Nick
    We should be thorough.
[04:08] Nick
    And also...
[04:10] Zem
    You smell money?
[04:13] Nick
    That's part of it, but this is weird, isn't it?
[04:16] Curran
    Nick!
[04:17] Zem
    Nick!
[04:18] Tiana
    That was just supposed to be a wall!
[04:24] Sword of Bonds
    Now, here's where you're
    going to run into problems.
[04:33] Tiana
    Are we supposed to find it inside all these?
[04:36] Nick
    No.
[04:43] Nick
    It's that one.
[04:44] Zem
    Nick?
[04:51] Nick
    This way.
[04:57] Tiana
    Wait.
[04:58] Tiana
    Detect Magic.
[05:06] Tiana
    There's no magic within a
    one-kilometer radius at a minimum.
[05:11] Tiana
    I'm not sure if that means it's safe,
    or if somebody is blocking the search.
[05:21] Nick
    So we'll have to find out who
    "someone" is and report that, too.
[05:27] Curran
    I-Is that it?
[05:34] Sword of Bonds
    Adventurers!
[05:35] Nick
    What?
[05:37] Sword of Bonds
    You've overcome great trials
    to reach this corridor.
[05:43] Sword of Bonds
    You are worthy of possessing my power!
[05:43] Nick
    Is this what's talking?
[05:46] Tiana
    Is this the Sword of Bonds?
[05:46] Sword of Bonds
    Be your foe man, beast, angel, or devil,
    this power will lead you to a glorious...
[05:48] Nick
    I don't think so.
[05:50] Sword of Bonds
    Yes, a glorious victory!
[05:50] Zem
    I don't see an actual blade.
[05:52] Curran
    Think it's broken?
[05:53] Sword of Bonds
    You're listening, aren't you?!
[05:55] Tiana
    Hey, you think this is a magic sword?
[05:58] Nick
    A magic sword?
[06:00] Nick
    I don't know what good it'll
    do without a blade, though.
[06:03] Curran
    It's broken.
[06:04] Tiana
    With some of these, the wielder's
    magic actually forms the blade.
[06:08] Zem
    Is that how this one works?
[06:10] Curran
    It's broken.
[06:11] Sword of Bonds
    Who do you think I am?
[06:14] Nick
    No idea.
[06:15] Nick
    We're busy looking for the Sword of Bonds.
[06:18] Nick
    We don't have time to learn
    the names of broken swords...
[06:20] Sword of Bonds
    I am the legendary Sword
    of Bonds which you seek.
[06:26] Sword of Bonds
    I am the finest masterpiece
    of the Terane Magic Armory...
[06:29] Nick
    The hell you are.
[06:31] Sword of Bonds
    What?
[06:32] Curran
    We weren't looking for any broken swords!
[06:34] Tiana
    We don't know for sure that it's broken.
[06:35] Sword of Bonds
    I am not broken!
[06:37] Zem
    Guys, let's listen to the nice old man...
[06:41] Sword of Bonds
    How dare you call me a "nice old man"?!
[06:44] Zem
    I was trying to help you!
[06:46] Tiana
    Zem, calm down.
[06:48] Zem
    Sorry, I was just caught off guard by
    a sword talking like it was normal.
[06:52] Sword of Bonds
    I am a proud sacred blade! I only help
    those who value justice and friendship.
[06:58] Sword of Bonds
    I am the Terane Magic Armory's
    greatest masterpiece.
[07:02] Sword of Bonds
    The Angel-Class Psychic Weapon.
    Product Name: The Sword of Bonds.
[07:06] Zem
    Product Name?
[07:08] Sword of Bonds
    That was also the project name.
[07:09] Nick
    Cool. Very cool.
[07:11] Nick
    Now, don't make a fuss. We promise not
    to drop you before you're in the bag.
[07:14] Sword of Bonds
    You're not going to equip me?
[07:16] Nick
    I only use short swords.
[07:18] Sword of Bonds
    How about the Dragonian girl?
[07:20] Curran
    I only use my Dragonbone Sword.
[07:23] Sword of Bonds
    You didn't come here in search of me?
[07:25] Nick
    Sure we did.
[07:28] Sword of Bonds
    Then shouldn't you be rejoicing?
[07:31] Sword of Bonds
    Wait, what are you going to do with me?
[07:34] Nick
    What else?
[07:37] All
    Sell you.
[07:41] Sword of Bonds
    No!
[07:44] Curran
    The contract says we only get
    half the money if it's busted.
[07:47] Sword of Bonds
    Wait! I don't want to end up
    in some warehouse somewhere!
[07:50] Sword of Bonds
    Do you have any idea how many years
[07:52] Sword of Bonds
    I've wasted after being deceived
    by those liars at the guild?
[07:55] Tiana
    "Liars"? "Deceived"? What do you mean?
[07:59] Sword of Bonds
    The guild sealed me in a labyrinth,
[08:01] Sword of Bonds
    saying it would help me find
    someone worthy to wield me.
[08:05] Sword of Bonds
    But I waited and waited, and nobody came.
[08:09] Sword of Bonds
    And do you know why?
[08:10] Sword of Bonds
    Because they never intended
    to let anyone have me.
[08:17] Nick
    I'm sympathetic, sure,
    but we've got bills to pay.
[08:21] Sword of Bonds
    Yes, if you sell me, you'll get
    enough money to last ten lifetimes.
[08:25] Sword of Bonds
    But if I travel with you, I can
    provide you with unparalleled power!
[08:31] Tiana
    If we've got all that money,
    we won't need to adventure, right?
[08:37] Sword of Bonds
    I want to apologize for something.
[08:41] Sword of Bonds
    The Guardian system has been activated.
[08:44] Nick
    I don't speak Ancient. What does that mean?
[08:47] Sword of Bonds
    In other words, my guardian has awakened.
[08:52] Sword of Bonds
    You won't be able to leave this hall
    without defeating the Amalgam Golem.
[08:57] Nick
    Amalgam Golem?
[09:20] Tiana
    Icicle Dance!
[09:25] Curran
    It's working!
[09:29] Sword of Bonds
    Wait, Dragonian girl!
[09:36] Nick
    Something's wrong!
[09:37] Nick
    Get away, Curran!
[09:51] Nick
    Curran!
[09:54] Nick
    Crap. If we're not careful,
    the Survivors are all going to die here,
[09:58] Nick
    in a beginner labyrinth!
[10:03] Nick
    Retreat! Head for the exit!
[10:05] Nick
    Hurry!
[10:13] Nick
    Damn it! Nothing's working!
[10:16] Nick
    But while I'm attacking it,
    it's focusing on me.
[10:19] Nick
    I have to let everybody get away
    while it's coming after me.
[10:23] Sword of Bonds
    Its body is comprised of nanomachines.
[10:26] Sword of Bonds
    Ranged or sharp weapons won't touch it.
[10:29] Nick
    Which means?
[10:30] Sword of Bonds
    Use me as your blade!
[10:32] Sword of Bonds
    You can do what you want with me
    after you make it out of here.
[10:36] Sword of Bonds
    This is my first and last
    request, as a weapon.
[10:40] Nick
    I can't promise what happens
    to you after we leave.
[10:42] Sword of Bonds
    Then the contract is made.
[10:50] Tiana
    Ice Spear!
[10:54] Tiana
    It's no good! It's not even budging!
[10:56] Tiana
    Magic and physical attacks aren't working!
[11:00] Sword of Bonds
    Hmm...
[11:02] Tiana
    That's...
[11:03] Zem
    The power of the sacred blade.
[11:05] Curran
    It wasn't broken?
[11:06] Sword of Bonds
    That girl will do nicely.
[11:08] Sword of Bonds
    Nick, was it? Envision her in your
    mind and shout this word: "Union"!
[11:15] Nick
    Envision Curran?
[11:18] Sword of Bonds
    Just do it! "Union"!
[11:21] Nick
    Union, right?
[11:24] Nick
    Okay.
[11:26] Nick
    Union!
[11:30] Nick
    Huh?
[11:32] Nick
    You tricked me, you old bastard!
[11:34] Sword of Bonds
    That's strange.
[11:36] Sword of Bonds
    You met the conditions to use it!
[11:40] Nick
    It's working?
[11:41] Sword of Bonds
    Even my blade can't kill it!
[11:44] Sword of Bonds
    Below you!
[11:47] Nick
    What is this thing?!
[11:54] All
    Nick!
[11:58] Zem
    We'll have to deal with it ourselves.
[12:01] Curran
    But our attacks don't work.
[12:04] Tiana
    What about this?
[12:06] Tiana
    Freezing!
[12:16] Curran
    It stopped.
[12:17] Tiana
    I tried freezing it, instead of attacking it.
[12:20] Tiana
    Curran, go get Nick!
[12:22] Curran
    Okay!
[12:30] Tiana
    It's trying to get free by discarding
    the parts of itself that froze?
[12:45] Zem
    Quick Heal!
[12:46] Tiana
    Freezing!
[12:48] Tiana
    We can't do anything more than buy time.
[12:51] Tiana
    But we have to do it anyway!
[12:56] Zem
    Let's show them what a
    pair of casters can do!
[13:14] Nick
    I guess I broke a few bones, huh?
[13:17] Nick
    Unyielding Fortress's duration ran out, too.
[13:19] Curran
    Nick, where are you?!
[13:22] Nick
    Curran! Are you guys okay up there?
[13:25] Curran
    The two of them are buying time!
[13:28] Nick
    If we lose one more person, we're finished.
[13:30] Nick
    Take them and run!
[13:33] Nick
    We need to get out of here!
[13:35] Nick
    Getting as many people back alive as
    possible is what the Survivors do!
[13:39] Curran
    Not "as many people as possible".
[13:41] Curran
    We all go back together!
[13:42] Nick
    You can't survive if you keep
    hoping for the impossible!
[13:45] Curran
    We're all going back together!
[13:53] Nick
    I'm sorry...
[14:02] Nick
    for breaking your pendant...
[14:06] Curran
    I told you...
[14:07] Nick
    You said not to worry about it,
    but it was important to you, wasn't it?
[14:13] Curran
    My last party leader gave it to me.
[14:17] Curran
    I wanted to throw it away,
    but I just couldn't do it.
[14:22] Curran
    I was never able to believe it...
[14:25] Curran
    That I was tricked,
    that they left me to die...
[14:30] Curran
    I never could believe it...
[14:35] Curran
    I kept hoping that one day I'd wake up
    and Calios would be there like always,
[14:38] Curran
    and that we'd go back to
    adventuring like we always did.
[14:45] Curran
    Seeing the pendant made me
    want to believe in Calios,
[14:49] Curran
    even if I knew I was just
    running away from reality.
[14:54] Curran
    I knew it, but I couldn't
    forget my days with Calios.
[15:00] Curran
    I chose to spend my time with my memories,
    instead of with the people around me.
[15:04] Curran
    It was...
[15:06] Curran
    It was so much fun!
[15:11] Curran
    So when the pendant broke that day...
[15:16] Curran
    it wasn't a bad thing for me at all.
[15:20] Nick
    Curran.
[15:22] Curran
    It wasn't a bad thing at all.
[15:35] Sword of Bonds
    Nick, say the word again.
[15:44] Tiana
    Freezing!
[15:47] Zem
    Unyielding Fortress! Quick Heal!
[15:49] Zem
    Unyielding Fortress! Unyielding Fortress!
[15:52] Tiana
    That's enough, Zem.
[15:53] Zem
    But... But...
[15:55] Tiana
    Use the rest of your spells
    when Nick gets back.
[15:59] Tiana
    I'm done for.
[16:01] Zem
    But... But...!
[16:05] Zem
    This can't... This can't be how it ends!
[16:08] Tiana
    We did great, didn't we?
[16:11] Tiana
    We did all this without Nick and Curran.
[16:18] Tiana
    Don't you dare smirk at us!
[16:40] Sword of Bonds
    He has a core that controls his movements.
[16:43] Sword of Bonds
    The core moves at random
    throughout its liquid metal body,
[16:47] Sword of Bonds
    keeping it perfectly safe at all times!
[17:00] Sword of Bonds
    But the lesson here is this: nothing
    can save you from ultimate power.
[17:22] Zem
    Nick!
[17:23] Tiana
    Curran!
[17:34] Nick
    Ignition!
[17:37] Vilma
    An aura blade, just like we were told.
[17:43] Curran
    Wow, it looks just like the real thing!
[17:45] Tiana
    I think you meant to say that the
    real thing looks so incredible!
[17:50] Curran
    That's right!
[17:51] Curran
    It looks just as incredible
    as the real thing!
[17:53] Kizuna
    It's nothing impressive.
[17:55] Zem
    Very true!
[17:56] Zem
    Though if you keep saying "real thing",
[17:58] Zem
    someone might start wondering if there
    was a fake out there somewhere!
[18:00] Zem
    What a wonderful sacred blade!
[18:01] Zem
    It's such a shame we have to let go of it.
[18:03] Kizuna
    It's nothing impressive, at all.
[18:05] Vilma
    It's not as powerful as we'd
    thought, but I guess it is old.
[18:09] Kizuna
    It's nowhere as strong as me.
[18:14] Vilma
    Very well. We'll pay the agreed upon amount.
[18:17] Nick
    Good. It would suck if we got lied to.
[18:22] Vilma
    So?
[18:28] Vilma
    Who's the boy...? girl...? who's been
    standing there this whole time?
[18:31] Vilma
    A new member of the Survivors?
[18:33] Kizuna
    Indeed! I am Kizuna!
[18:35] Vilma
    How peculiar. Doesn't that just mean
    "Bonds", same as the sword?
[18:39] Vilma
    Well, good luck, I guess.
[18:41] Kizuna
    Of course! Leave it to me!
[18:44] Tiana
    We were lucky that there was that
    stock of mass-produced copies.
[18:49] Kizuna
    Those guys at the guild were easy to fool!
[18:52] Nick
    Didn't you say something about
    valuing justice and friendship?
[18:55] Kizuna
    Saving somebody's life sounds like
    friendship and justice to me.
[19:00] Nick
    "Life"? You're a sword.
[19:02] Kizuna
    I'm a sword and a person!
[19:04] Kizuna
    I've got a parallelization function!
[19:07] Zem
    A function that lets a sacred
    blade take human form.
[19:10] Curran
    I still don't really
    understand how it works.
[19:13] Zem
    I was scared for a second
    when you said your name.
[19:17] Kizuna
    Why?
[19:18] Nick
    'Cause people will figure it out!
[19:21] Kizuna
    Well, I can't help it.
[19:23] Tiana
    Sentient magic items have a lot of
    their power tied to their names.
[19:27] Nick
    They do?
[19:28] Tiana
    For instance, if we named it "Mop" it
    might gain the power to clean our rooms.
[19:33] Nick
    That's pretty simplistic.
[19:36] Nick
    Here's our pay for this job!
[19:47] Tiana
    We've finally got money
    to spend on our hobbies!
[19:51] Zem
    Until now it's all gone to rent and bills!
[19:54] Curran
    It's been so long.
[19:58] Nick
    Let's go, then.
[20:00] Kizuna
    You going to the tavern?
[20:02] Nick
    We're a little different when
    it comes to that, actually.
[20:05] Nick
    Survivors Rule #1!
[20:08] All
    No interfering with other peoples' hobbies!
[20:10] Kizuna
    What?
[20:12] Nick
    We all have something we must protect.
[20:14] Nick
    A forbidden holy ground where
    no one else may tread.
[20:18] Kizuna
    O-Oh! I don't understand,
    but that sounds very important!
[20:23] Nick
    So we're going to take some time off.
[20:26] Nick
    What will you do?
[20:28] Nick
    I'm going to an idol concert.
[20:29] Nick
    If you want to come,
    you have to come in blade mode.
[20:33] Kizuna
    How boring!
[20:35] Kizuna
    I'll read a book or something, then.
[20:38] Nick
    Sure.
[20:43] Kizuna
    You're not going?
[20:45] Tiana
    There's still time until the race starts.
[20:47] Tiana
    Want to come with me?
[20:49] Kizuna
    Really?
[20:52] Kizuna
    It's uh... forbidden ground, right?
[20:55] Tiana
    You can come, but no complaining
    about how I use my money!
[21:01] Kizuna
    Okay!
[21:02] Kizuna
    I'm a member of the
    Survivors, too, after all!
[21:21] Tiana
    Hey, Kizuna.
[21:23] Kizuna
    What?
[21:25] Tiana
    You waited hundreds of years
    for us to come, right?
[21:30] Kizuna
    Oh, that's right.
[21:32] Kizuna
    I waited hundreds, no, thousands of
    years, for someone to come use me!
[21:37] Tiana
    I see.
[21:43] Tiana
    You really hung in there, right?
[21:46] Kizuna
    Don't treat me like a kid!
[21:49] Tiana
    You're a good kid.
[21:51] Kizuna
    Hey, don't make fun of me!
[21:53] Kizuna
    I'll slice you in two!
[21:55] Tiana
    Don't you dare, Mop!
[21:57] Kizuna
    I'll clean your clock, damn it!
[22:01] Tiana
    Oh, no! He'll wipe the floor with me!
[22:01] Kizuna
    I'm not a mop!
[22:03] Old Man Kizuna
    This was where it started.
[22:05] Old Man Kizuna
    Their, no, our
    true adventure... started here...
[22:13] Old Man Kizuna
    Looking back, it all started here...

    A bard!
[00:17] Kizuna
    The sigh of a man with strange loves...
[00:21] Kizuna
    The shriveled-up body of
    a Black Greatrock Worm.
[00:24] Kizuna
    Decorations brought back from
    the Valley of Dragons...
[00:28] Kizuna
    The half-eaten food of an adventurer who fled
    the Labyrinth and now sobs through his meal...
[00:30] Adventurer
    What the hell were you
    thinking, you bastard?
[00:34] Kizuna
    It's all so beautiful!
[00:38] Zem
    He's like a poet.
[00:40] Tiana
    Has he been like that the whole time?
[00:42] Nick
    Yup.
[00:44] Nick
    If anything, he's calmer than usual.
[00:48] Kizuna
    A high-quality igniter,
    modified to one's tastes and much loved!
[01:00] Kizuna
    I can feel the history it carries.
[01:03] Tiana
    Thanks.
[01:05] Tiana
    That thing you've got there
    looks good on you, too.
[01:09] Kizuna
    Right? Right?
[01:15] Zem
    You look wonderful.
[01:17] Curran
    That's right!
    It looks impressive, even if you don't!
[01:20] Zem
    Curran, that's not a compliment.
[01:23] Nick
    Kizuna, how many times do you have to hear
    it from all of us before you're satisfied?
[01:28] Kizuna
    There's no such thing as
    too many compliments.
[01:30] Kizuna
    They're something both the
    giver and receiver can enjoy.
[01:34] Nick
    True.
[01:35] Nick
    You look great.
[01:38] Nick
    Now, let's get to it.
[01:40] Nick
    First, Curran.
[01:42] Nick
    Zem.
[01:44] Nick
    Tiana.
[01:45] Nick
    I'd like to entrust you with the
    task of keeping our funds safe.
[01:52] Zem
    It seems to be protected with magic.
[01:55] Tiana
    And this is a magic abacus. It can calculate
    automatically, which is a great help.
[01:59] Nick
    And this is what I'd like
    you all to protect.
[02:06] Zem
    Two bronze pieces.
    Three small bronze pieces.
[02:10] Tiana
    230 dinah all together.
[02:12] Tiana
    What about it?
[02:13] Curran
    You could buy a snack.
[02:16] Nick
    This is all the wealth the
    Survivors have right now.
[02:21] Tiana
    W-Wait.
[02:22] Tiana
    What does that mean?
[02:23] Zem
    Did we overspend a little?
[02:25] Curran
    A snack is all you could buy!
[02:28] Nick
    So... let's go make some money, guys!
[02:31] All
    Yeah!

[04:13] (Flashback) Velokkio
    Tiana,
[04:16] (Flashback) Velokkio
    as of today, you're no longer
    a student at this school.
[04:21] (Flashback) Tiana
    Yes...
[04:23] (Flashback) Velokkio
    But you're still a mage.
[04:29] (Flashback) Velokkio
    Oh, you may have this as a gift.
[04:35] (Flashback) Tiana
    An igniter?
[04:38] (Flashback) Velokkio
    It's a goodbye gift.
[04:41] (Flashback) Velokkio
    You'd wanted it, right?
[04:46] (Flashback) Tiana
    Thank you, sir.
[04:48] Tiana
    I'd ruined the career of somebody I admired.
[04:53] Tiana
    He'd been caught up in the scandal with me.
[04:56] Tiana
    I'd taken away the title of Sage
    that he'd wanted so badly.
[05:01] Tiana
    Forever.
[05:03] Tiana
    But still, he spoke like nothing bothered
    him at all, and this is what he said.
[05:07] Tiana
    "Because nobody needs us, we are free."
[05:14] (Flashback) Velokkio
    But freedom can be quite restrictive.
[05:18] (Flashback) Tiana
    Huh?
[05:19] (Flashback) Velokkio
    No, nothing.
[05:23] (Flashback) Velokkio
    And we're going to find ourselves
    restricted in many ways.
[05:30] (Flashback) Velokkio
    We want to be free, but we
    want somebody to need us.
[05:36] (Flashback) Velokkio
    Perhaps humans deserve to be destroyed.
[05:45] (Flashback) Velokkio
    I'm joking.
[05:51] (Flashback) Velokkio
    It's strange, don't you think?
[05:53] (Flashback) Velokkio
    Even after all this, we can still laugh.
[05:58] (Flashback) Velokkio
    Perhaps it's a sign that
    the worst is yet to come.
[06:06] (Flashback) Tiana
    I was never able tell if you're
    joking or not, Master.
[06:11] (Flashback) Velokkio
    W-Was it not funny?
[06:14] (Flashback) Tiana
    It's more like...
[06:18] (Flashback) Tiana
    It's inappropriate.
[06:23] (Flashback) Velokkio
    I see.
[06:28] (Flashback) Velokkio
    Inappropriate? I suppose you're right.
[06:31] (Flashback) Velokkio
    I suppose you may be right.
[06:36] (Flashback) Tiana
    You seem to be enjoying this somehow.
[06:44] (Flashback) Tiana
    Master, you're laughing too much.
[06:47] (Flashback) Velokkio
    I'm sorry.
[06:49] (Flashback) Velokkio
    Just, whenever there's a silence,
    I can't help myself...
[06:55] (Flashback) Velokkio
    I say whatever's on my mind.
[07:01] (Flashback) Tiana
    Um, I'll be going.
[07:05] (Flashback) Velokkio
    Oh, yes.
[07:11] Tiana
    Was there something I could do for him?
[07:15] Tiana
    I wondered that, even though I knew
    I was overstepping myself.
[07:19] Tiana
    It was rude, almost impudent.
[07:23] Tiana
    I'm sorry. This is all my fault.
[07:28] (Flashback) Velokkio
    This is goodbye, isn't it?
[07:30] (Flashback) Velokkio
    Yes, of course it is.
[07:35] (Flashback) Velokkio
    I'll give you one last lesson, then.
[07:41] (Flashback) Velokkio
    To know who you are.
[07:44] (Flashback) Velokkio
    To know what you've learned,
    what you can do...
[07:49] (Flashback) Velokkio
    That's a treasure that
    nobody can take from you.
[07:52] (Flashback) Velokkio
    Remember that, at all times.
[08:00] (Flashback) Tiana
    That's not a joke, is it?
[08:07] (Flashback) Velokkio
    I'm sorry.
[08:09] (Flashback) Velokkio
    I couldn't say.
[08:17] Tiana
    Am I the only one who sometimes wonders
    when I wake up in the morning
[08:22] Tiana
    if maybe I'll open my eyes and everything
    will be back to how it was,
[08:25] Tiana
    before all this happened?
[08:36] Tiana
    If only it were true...
[08:39] Tiana
    I wonder if I'll wake up
    in my bed in the mansion,
[08:42] Tiana
    surrounded by pillows and fluffy blankets,
[08:44] Tiana
    and wonder how many wonderful things
    I'll learn about Alex today,
[08:50] Tiana
    or how many times I'll
    be of use to my Master.
[08:53] Tiana
    I was so happy, so blessed,
    to be a dreaming maiden like that.
[09:01] Tiana
    I'm sure everybody else has had
    the same thought at least once.
[09:06] Tiana
    "If only I could go back in time
    to when everything was fine..."
[09:19] Tiana
    We dream of a wish that not even the most
    ancient, powerful magic could grant,
[09:27] Tiana
    again and again, before we wake up...
[09:34] (Flashback) Nick
    Your birthday present.
[09:35] (Flashback) Claudine
    Wow, you remembered!
[09:39] (Flashback) Claudine
    This is just what I wanted!
[09:41] (Flashback) Nick
    I'm glad you like it, Claudine.
[09:44] (Flashback) Claudine
    But...
[09:46] (Flashback) Claudine
    More! I want more!
[09:51] (Flashback) Claudine
    The shriveled-up body of a Black
    Greatrock Worm, the half-eaten food...
[09:54] (Flashback) Claudine
    I want more!
[09:56] Nick
    C-Claudine?
[09:58] (Flashback) Claudine
    Everything that changed since I was sealed
    away, everything that hasn't changed...
[10:04] (Flashback) Claudine
    I want to see it all!
[10:06] Nick
    Get a hold of yourself, Claudine!
[10:14] Nick
    Was that his telepathy?
[10:18] Nick
    Don't send your sleep talk into my brain.
[10:22] Kizuna
    I want to see it all... to know it all...
[10:27] Nick
    Is it just me?
[10:31] Zem
    Is it just me?
[10:34] Curran
    Is it just me?
[10:38] Curran
    Good morning.
[10:39] All
    Morning!
[10:41] Kizuna
    I have no past I want to return to!
[10:44] Kizuna
    The time I'm spending with you now
    is the most fun I've ever had!
[10:46] Zem
    How innocent...
[10:48] Tiana
    I can't look!
    I can't bear to look at him, Nick!
[10:51] Curran
    I wish I was like that.
[11:05] Kizuna
    Yup, that's a Rasetsu Ogre.
[11:07] Zem
    I thought we beat him before...
[11:09] Nick
    It's not the same one, actually.
[11:13] Tiana
    They're reborn each time
    the Miasma gets thick.
[11:16] Tiana
    Poor things.
[11:18] Curran
    It's fun to chat with everybody.
[11:20] Kizuna
    Telepathy's not for chatting and having fun.
[11:25] Zem
    I'm nervous. I've never even
    used a Communications Gem.
[11:30] Curran
    I can hear you from all the way over here!
[11:33] Tiana
    You're too far ahead!
[11:35] Kizuna
    My true power isn't telepathy!
[11:38] Kizuna
    Behold the power of my blade!
[11:42] Nick
    Idiot! What was the point
    of using telepathy, then?!
[11:50] Kizuna
    A brute-force attack won't work on me!
[12:05] Kizuna
    Parallel.
[12:08] Curran
    There's more of them!
[12:09] Zem
    He did something!
[12:11] Tiana
    That's not fair.
[12:13] Kizuna
    I can use my telepathy to hear you all!
[12:20] Kizuna
    I can create up to five copies.
[12:23] Nick
    I feel tired for some reason.
[12:26] Kizuna
    Of course. I'm using your
    stamina and magic to do it.
[12:31] Nick
    What?
[12:32] Kizuna
    Haha! Don't worry about it.
[12:35] Kizuna
    Delete!
[12:39] Nick
    Well, I feel like I should be more
    concerned about part of that.
[12:42] Nick
    But I'm honestly amazed.
[12:44] Nick
    Your Parallel skill is amazing,
[12:46] Nick
    but so is your skill with a sword.
[12:48] Kizuna
    Sword skills were installed in me
    during the development stage.
[12:53] Curran
    Installed?
[12:55] Kizuna
    I mean that I absorbed the techniques
    of a swordsman who used me in the past!
[13:00] Tiana
    I knew it! That's cheating!
[13:01] Kizuna
    It's not cheating! How rude.
[13:04] Nick
    Either way, we're definitely
    glad to have you along.
[13:07] Kizuna
    I've got my most powerful technique, too.
[13:10] Nick
    I'm not planning on using
    Union at all for a while.
[13:13] Kizuna
    Wh-Why?
[13:15] Nick
    We can't use something that makes us
    collapse from exhaustion afterward.
[13:19] Kizuna
    What? Stingy bastard.
[13:20] Zem
    It's good to have something
    we can rely on if we have to.
[13:23] Tiana
    Yup. We're counting on you.
[13:26] Curran
    I'm hungry!
[13:27] Nick
    Maybe we should get something to eat.
[13:29] Nick
    What about you two?
[13:30] Curran
    I'm hungry!
[13:32] Tiana
    I'll go check on the dragons, then...
[13:35] Zem
    I'll go check on the ladies, then.
[13:38] Kizuna
    Hey! Don't use telepathy for chit-chat!
[13:46] Nick
    So you did end up coming with us.
[13:49] Kizuna
    Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
[13:51] Nick
    No fair using mental attacks!
[13:54] Kizuna
    I'm in my "fun" phase, and I have
    fun no matter what I'm doing.
[13:58] Curran
    What if somebody drops a pair
    of chopsticks? Is that fun?
[14:02] Kizuna
    It might be!
[14:06] Nick
    What are you talking about?
[14:09] Curran
    I smell something good!
[14:13] Kizuna
    This is...
[14:15] (Flashback) Claudine
    I want more!
[14:19] Kizuna
    It stimulates the appetite.
[14:21] Nick
    No, wait...
[14:25] Nick
    Well, whatever.
[14:28] Kizuna
    Yeah, this is good.
[14:31] Curran
    If you're not careful with how you
    prepare the fish, it gets all dry.
[14:35] Curran
    But they make it just right,
    and the sauce is great, too!
[14:39] Curran
    They know how to cook!
[14:42] Nick
    You've got high expectations.
[14:44] Curran
    I am a foodie, after all.
[14:46] Nick
    Yeah, you do eat through our food budget.
[14:50] Curran
    Survivors Rule #1.
[14:54] Nick
    Sorry, sorry.
[14:57] Claudine
    I'm so happy you remembered!
[15:06] Nick
    That's Claudine...
[15:09] Claudine
    This is just what I wanted!
[15:12] Jonathan
    I'm glad you like it, Claudine.
[15:17] Nick
    I'm glad you like it, Claudine.
[15:22] Claudine
    Actually, I have to go back to my hometown.
[15:26] Claudine
    My mom's sick and doesn't
    have much time left.
[15:30] Jonathan
    What?
[15:33] Claudine
    But it's so far away.
[15:35] Claudine
    It's a month by carriage!
[15:38] Claudine
    I need so much money!
[15:41] Claudine
    Money! I want money so badly!
[15:46] Claudine
    Sob! Sob! Sob!
[15:48] Jonathan
    Poor Claudine!
[15:50] Jonathan
    Don't worry. I'll take care of it all.
[15:53] Nick
    Hey there.
[15:56] Claudine
    Nick!
[15:57] Jonathan
    Wh-Who are you?
[15:59] Nick
    Poor thing. Your mom moved away, huh?
[16:04] Nick
    You told me she lived
    three days to the East.
[16:07] Claudine
    Th-Three days is pretty far!
[16:11] Nick
    Oh, and happy birthday.
[16:13] Nick
    You know, you're the first person I've met
    who has two birthdays in a year!
[16:18] Jonathan
    Wh-Who is this, Claudine?
[16:20] Claudine
    I-I don't remember inviting you.
[16:24] Claudine
    Wh-What?
[16:26] Nick
    If you sell that thing,
    it's an easy fraud charge.
[16:30] Nick
    It's an expensive luxury item,
    and clearly appraised.
[16:35] Claudine
    Let's go. Looks like this
    weirdo wants to bother us.
[16:38] Nick
    So, what's next? You're going to live the
    rest of your life with a bounty on your head?
[16:41] Nick
    Your mom will be so sad.
[16:46] Claudine
    Damn it!
[16:47] Nick
    Damage it, and you're liable for damages.
[16:55] Nick
    Here, this is yours, right?
[17:01] Jonathan
    Was she lying to me?
[17:05] Curran
    Hey, Nick.
[17:08] Curran
    Your meal's gotten cold.
[17:10] Nick
    Oh, sorry.
[17:12] Kizuna
    I'll take another Alley Cat Pudding
    Parfait with extra caramel!
[17:17] Nick
    Most gathering quests involve plants
    which only bloom in the Labyrinths.
[17:22] Nick
    Herbs, poisons...
[17:24] Nick
    Zem would know more about that than me.
[17:26] Nick
    If it's a cave Labyrinth,
    they'll ask for ores and jewels.
[17:31] Nick
    That's more suited for a dwarf who
    grew up in the mountains than us.
[17:40] Nick
    Did you get to see your mom, Claudine?
[17:42] Curran
    This is a present from Mom.
    She said to say hello.
[17:46] Nick
    Glad to hear she's doing well.
[17:48] Claudine
    She's made a full recovery, actually!
[17:51] Nick
    Amazing.
[17:52] Nick
    I'd love to recruit her for the Survivors.
[17:56] Leon
    You weren't very nice to our
    Claudine here, yesterday.
[18:00] Nick
    "Our"?
[18:01] Nick
    Oh, I just told her not to make her mom sad.
[18:06] Nick
    So, you're with the Iron Kitties?
[18:08] Claudine
    The Iron Tigers!
[18:10] Leon
    Leon.
[18:12] Nick
    Sorry. I'm bad with names.
[18:16] Nick
    You were planning on selling the necklace
[18:18] Nick
    to get the funds to run from
    the Iron Tigers, right?
[18:20] Leon
    What?
[18:21] Claudine
    L-Lies!
[18:23] Claudine
    He's just mad because I dumped him!
[18:26] Leon
    If girls don't like you,
    you see every girl as a villain.
[18:29] Nick
    And you villains both get along, then?
[18:31] Leon
    Why don't we take this outside, asshole?
[18:35] Curran
    Hey, Nick!
[18:37] Nick
    The kitty wants to sunbathe, he says.
[18:43] Leon
    This'll do, I suppose.
[18:45] Nick
    Yeah. Lots of sunlight.
[18:51] Leon
    I'm sorry!
[18:54] Leon
    Man, I am so sorry!
[18:58] Leon
    Claudine underestimated
    what you were capable of.
[19:01] Leon
    It's not easy to make money in a party.
[19:05] Leon
    I've heard all about you guys, you know.
[19:08] Leon
    And I'm glad you put a stop
    to Claudine's bullshit.
[19:12] Leon
    As for her... you can have her.
[19:17] Leon
    She's conned a lot of people,
    and made a lot of enemies.
[19:22] Leon
    Like you, right?
[19:25] Leon
    She made us a lot of money, but I
    think our time together's at an end.
[19:29] Leon
    And...
[19:32] Leon
    The Dragonian lady, the noble girl,
    and that naive-looking priest...
[19:38] Leon
    You've even got a kid with you lately.
[19:42] Leon
    Well?
[19:43] Leon
    You making bank?
[19:45] Nick
    What are you talking about?
[19:47] Leon
    You're robbing them blind, aren't you?
[19:50] Leon
    Like us.
[19:52] Nick
    Me?
[19:53] Nick
    Robbing Curran or Tiana?
[19:57] Nick
    Yeah?
[19:59] Nick
    I see...
[20:03] Leon
    Right?
[20:06] Nick
    Man, I can't believe you...
[20:11] Leon
    So, yeah, when you finally
    decide to blow up the party
[20:15] Leon
    and run off with the money,
    let us in on it...
[20:20] Nick
    Sorry.
[20:23] Nick
    I thought you were a
    Tigerian when I hit you.
[20:26] Nick
    I don't like hurting wimpy little kitties.
[20:37] Leon
    You're good.
[20:39] Nick
    You aren't, really.
[20:41] Leon
    Sh-Shut up!
[20:44] Nick
    I want money, too, you know.
[20:47] Nick
    Especially if I don't have to work for it.
[20:50] Nick
    But what would the money I got
    from scamming them be worth?
[20:55] Nick
    Even if I made a fortune,
    would the ale I got with it taste good?
[21:01] Nick
    Have you gotten to the point where
    you can get drunk on ale like that?
[21:06] Beg
    Wind Cluster!
[21:10] Beg
    I made it in time, little kitty.
[21:13] Leon
    If you were listening,
    you should have helped earlier.
[21:15] Nick
    If you think it's okay to
    ambush somebody two on one,
[21:19] Nick
    you haven't learned your manners.
[21:21] Beg
    It's your fault for eating
    a surprise attack—
[21:26] Curran
    It's whose fault for eating what now?
[21:31] Curran
    The only thing worth eating is food.
[21:33] Nick
    Sorry. Thanks for coming.
[21:35] Vilma
    That's enough!
[21:37] Nick
    The old lady!
[21:39] Vilma
    Call me Vilma!
[21:41] Nick
    Ow!
[21:41] Leon
    You can't dodge that?
[21:44] Vilma
    Leon, was it?
[21:45] Vilma
    That goes for you, too.
[21:48] Vilma
    Oh, and Curran, let the kid go.
[21:56] Vilma
    So, what now?
[21:58] Nick
    Huh? You didn't come to stop us?
[22:01] Vilma
    If you're going to follow the rules,
    I've got no intention of stopping you.
[22:04] Nick
    The rules?
[22:05] Leon
    Yeah, there's only one way to settle this.
[22:08] Leon
    A Mathematics Bare Knuckle Battle!
[22:13] All
    Mathematics Bare Knuckle?
SIGN    Next time:
    "Mathematics Bare Knuckle"

[00:00] Vilma
    Ten rounds total.
[00:02] Vilma
    One-on-one bouts of mathematics and
    brawling held at the same time.
[00:08] Vilma
    The round ends when one side
    solves the math problems.
[00:12] Kizuna
    So unless you can finish the math
    problems, the fight goes on forever.
[00:17] Vilma
    It's the only way to get bloodthirsty
    adventurers to learn their arithmetic!
[00:22] Vilma
    Each problem set will be
    tougher than the last.
[00:25] Vilma
    And at the start of the next round,
[00:27] Vilma
    for each 10-point difference in your scores,
[00:30] Vilma
    you get one free hit at the enemy brawler.
[00:34] Curran
    That's a heavy responsibility.
[00:36] Vilma
    We'll use this to determine
    the mathematics players.
[00:42] Tiana
    Huh?
[00:43] Zem
    It's Curran.
[00:46] Curran
    N-N-N-N-N!
[00:48] Nick
    It's me, Nick.
[00:49] Nick
    Calm down.
[00:49] Curran
    I-I-I-I-I.
[00:50] Nick
    Yes, you can do it.
[00:52] Curran
    B-B-B-B-B!
[00:54] Nick
    You'll be fine.
[00:55] Nick
    Don't worry.
[00:56] Kizuna
    How can he tell what she's saying?
[00:58] Leon
    Hmph. I hope one screw-up
    doesn't get everyone killed.
[01:06] Curran
    U-U-U-U-U!
[01:07] Nick
    She's saying "Uuuh."

[02:46] Kizuna
    Well?
[02:47] Zem
    Hmm, I think she's got potential!
[02:51] Curran
    What was my score?
[02:53] Zem
    Curran, you worked hard, didn't you?
[02:56] Curran
    Yup. So what was my score?
[02:58] Zem
    If you did this good before you even
    started studying, I think there's hope.
[03:01] Curran
    What was my score?
[03:02] Nick
    Curran, let the poor guy off the hook.
[03:06] Curran
    It was no good?
[03:09] Zem
    That's not true.
SIGN    Curran
[03:15] Curran
    I can't do this.
[03:18] Zem
    Curran, the most important thing right now
[03:21] Zem
    is that we were able to see what
    you can do and what you can't.
[03:27] Zem
    So we just need to get you better
    at the things you understand,
[03:30] Zem
    and help you learn the things you don't.
[03:34] Curran
    Can I do that?
[03:36] Zem
    Of course.
[03:42] Kizuna
    You should just let me help.
[03:45] Zem
    Kizuna, you're too strong.
[03:49] Kizuna
    But I want to help the Survivors, too.
[03:54] Zem
    Of course, we want your help.
[03:58] Kizuna
    Okay...
[03:59] Zem
    Not as a sacred blade,
    but as a party member.
[04:04] Kizuna
    Leave it to me!
[04:08] Nick
    We spent the next week training
    and coming up with plans.
[04:14] Curran
    Zem's been hanging out
    with girls all day lately.
[04:19] Girls
    Oh, Zem, you pervert!
[04:22] Girls
    Eww!
[04:23] Melissa
    Why don't you stop wasting everybody's
    time and get to the point?
[04:28] Zem
    You knew, then?
[04:31] Melissa
    It's no fun to drink with
    someone who's so glum.
[04:34] Melissa
    You've been like that all the time lately.
[04:36] Zem
    All right, if you insist...
[04:39] Girl A
    I've heard more stories about that
    Claudine girl breaking men's hearts...
[04:43] Girl B
    Beg? The creepy guy, right?
[04:47] Girl C
    So Leon's not just strong,
    he's pretty smart.
[04:52] Girl D
    The Iron Tigers went too far!
[04:54] Melissa
    Oh, that new girl, Rose, was
    talking about some strange man.
[05:00] Zem
    So you know something about a strange man?
[05:03] Rose
    That's right.
[05:05] Zem
    Can you tell me more?
[05:09] Rose
    All right.
[05:11] Rose
    Hmm...
[05:13] Rose
    Wavy, flaxen hair,
[05:15] Rose
    beautiful soft blue eyes...
[05:18] Rose
    long, light pink fingers,
[05:21] Rose
    a sexy voice like velvet...
[05:23] Rose
    He wears a cassock that stands
    out in a place like this...
[05:26] Zem
    Who are you talking about?
[05:29] Rose
    A strange man.
[05:31] Nick
    They're going to try some
    kind of trick tomorrow.
[05:35] Curran
    Yeah.
[05:36] Zem
    The way they acted, the way they lured
    us into this, they've done it before.
[05:42] Nick
    I've had Zem look into them.
[05:45] Curran
    So he wasn't just out getting drunk?
[05:47] Zem
    I had a lot to drink,
    and asked lots of questions.
[05:52] Rose
    He's cheating. I know it.
[05:55] Rose
    But I can't figure out how.
[05:58] Rose
    He's sharp, like he's got eyes
    on the back of his head.
[06:01] Rose
    And I can't figure it out!
[06:04] Zem
    What they do is share information
    so they can outsmart their enemy.
[06:09] Tiana
    They're probably using Thought Gems.
[06:12] Nick
    Those work like telepathy, right?
[06:15] Kizuna
    Not nearly as powerful, though.
[06:17] Curran
    What do I do?
[06:19] Nick
    Use all you've learned
    to solve the problems.
[06:23] Curran
    That's all?
[06:25] Tiana
    Until I give the signal.
[06:31] Claudine
    I was pretty happy as a kid.
[06:34] Claudine
    My parents worked at a carriage station,
[06:36] Claudine
    but started embezzling small
    amounts of money and got fired.
[06:43] Claudine
    They were about to sell
    me off when I ran away.
[06:48] Claudine
    But then I had to survive.
[06:53] Claudine
    I was pretty enough, which helped
    me do enough fraud to live.
[06:56] Claudine
    I was smart enough to do
    enough cons to get by.
[06:59] Claudine
    I met some decent enough guys
    to earn a decent enough living.
[07:03] Claudine
    And that's when I met Nick.
[07:06] (Flashback) Nick
    Happy Birthday!
[07:08] Claudine
    I thought that the more people I could
    steal from, the happier I'd be.
[07:13] Claudine
    I just...
[07:23] Claudine
    I'll get you yet, Nick!
[07:29] Vilma
    Okay, let the Mathematics Bare Knuckle begin!
[07:38] Curran
    I know these!
[07:39] Curran
    They're the type of problems I've studied!
[07:42] Claudine
    Don't look so happy.
[07:45] Claudine
    These are problems a kid could do.
[07:47] Curran
    Sh-Shut up.
[07:50] Curran
    I'll finish this up fast to help Nick!
[07:52] Crowd
    Get him, Nick!
[07:54] Crowd
    Kick Leon's ass!
[07:56] Nick
    This is a good opportunity for Curran.
[07:59] Nick
    She looks like she's bad at math.
[08:01] Nick
    They're not going to miss a chance
    to take advantage of that.
[08:07] Nick
    He's not taking the bait.
[08:09] Nick
    Which means...
[08:13] Nick
    He's not attacking.
[08:14] Nick
    So he's buying time?
[08:17] Nick
    This much was planned for...
[08:20] Leon
    He's figured out some part of it.
[08:23] Leon
    Good luck figuring out the rest!
[08:25] Leon
    You'll never reach it without real smarts.
[08:32] Zem
    Focus, Curran.
[08:34] Zem
    What's important now is
    getting the right answers!
[08:40] Curran
    I-I'm done!
[08:43] Clerk
    Curran finished first!
[08:45] Clerk
    We will now begin the judging.
[08:47] Clerk
    Take a moment's break!
SIGN    Claudine
SIGN    Curran
[08:50] Vilma
    Curran 86 points, Claudine 98 points!
[08:57] Zem
    Yeah, that's the problem with going fast.
[09:00] Zem
    You get in such a rush that you get sloppy
[09:03] Zem
    and end up losing points.
[09:06] Claudine
    You're better than I thought.
[09:09] Claudine
    Let's see how long you can last.
[09:11] Curran
    S-Sorry, Nick!
[09:14] Nick
    It's fine!
[09:15] Nick
    Nobody gets worried about
    a little pat from a kitty.
[09:19] Leon
    Penalty time already?
[09:22] Leon
    Here I go!
[09:24] Nick
    Come on, kitty.
[09:29] Leon
    Sorry, my hand slipped.
[09:33] Nick
    So this is what you've
    got up your sleeve...
[09:35] Nick
    no, no, it's not.
[09:38] Nick
    Don't you worry about it.
[09:41] Nick
    What happens when you have to brawl
    and do math at the same time?
[09:44] Nick
    You might think the math is
    there to preserve your stamina.
[09:47] Nick
    You could try to save your brawler's strength
[09:51] Nick
    by ending the math part fast,
    like Curran tried to do.
[09:54] Nick
    The math might seem less
    important than the fighting,
[09:56] Nick
    until you realize that you can use
    it to go on the offensive, too!
[10:01] Clerk
    Round 2, start!
[10:04] Nick
    Abusing the penalties
    might not feel very nice,
[10:08] Nick
    but it's a standard way to fight.
[10:10] Nick
    Nothing's as effective as an attack
    your opponent can't block.
[10:14] Nick
    Especially, if your math player is good,
    you can use it to get aggressive.
[10:21] Nick
    Theoretically, if you could answer
    every question instantly,
[10:25] Nick
    you could inflict massive penalty
    hits no matter how smart they were,
[10:28] Nick
    since they wouldn't get to
    answer a single question.
[10:32] Nick
    It's not the brawlers who determine
    the outcome of the game.
[10:36] Nick
    Hence the attempts to buy time.
[10:39] Nick
    And that's where they'll try to cheat.
[10:43] Nick
    And so will we!
SIGN    Claudine
SIGN    Curran
[10:48] Vilma
    Claudine 98, Curran 79!
[10:52] Claudine
    What a shame. I almost got him two hits.
[10:59] Nick
    Curran!
[11:01] Nick
    Wipe that look off your face.
[11:04] Nick
    You're not the one getting hit.
[11:06] Curran
    I know that!
[11:08] Curran
    But... but...
[11:11] Nick
    Don't worry about me.
    Focus on the problems.
[11:14] Curran
    But it's my fault you're being hit!
[11:17] Curran
    Because I'm stupid!
[11:20] Nick
    I'll tell you the truth...
[11:22] Nick
    A week ago I couldn't even
    imagine it would go like this.
[11:25] Nick
    I was ready to take dozens of hits.
[11:28] Nick
    But just count them.
[11:30] Nick
    How many times have I been hit?
[11:32] Curran
    T-Two.
[11:35] Nick
    Yeah. You started off getting
    80 percent of the questions wrong,
[11:38] Nick
    and now you're a full-fledged
    Mathematics Bare Knuckle player!
[11:42] Nick
    You're giving it your best! I can tell!
[11:45] Nick
    So don't call yourself stupid!
[11:49] Curran
    But I might start getting more wrong.
[11:53] Nick
    It's fine.
[11:55] Nick
    That's fine.
[11:56] Nick
    If you get one wrong, just use what you
    learned to get it right next time.
[11:59] Curran
    Nick...
[12:00] Nick
    Curran, you're amazing!
[12:06] Claudine
    What are you so excited about?
    This is simple arithmetic.
[12:10] Curran
    I'm excited because I can do something
    now that I couldn't before!
[12:16] Vilma
    I'll pretend I didn't hear all that.
[12:19] Vilma
    Any more talking and I'll treat
    this as illegal stalling.
[12:23] Clerk
    Round 3! Start!
[12:26] Claudine
    Like I said, you're just some
    Dragonian bumpkin who
[12:28] Claudine
    won't be able to solve
    these problems for long!
[12:35] Curran
    I was happy to be able to do
    math I couldn't do before.
[12:38] Curran
    But I couldn't let myself show
    it because Nick was getting hit.
[12:41] Curran
    But Nick was happy for my progress!
[12:44] Curran
    So I won't hesitate anymore!
[12:49] Tiana
    If you want to run a con, you do it fast.
[12:52] Tiana
    Most people would do it
    right after the start,
[12:56] Tiana
    and get things over and done with
    before they had a chance to slip up.
[12:59] Tiana
    But there's a reason they didn't.
[13:02] Zem
    Early in the game, you'd lose time repeating
    the questions and answers to each other.
[13:07] Zem
    Which means...
[13:08] Kizuna
    They're trying to buy time and
    let the problems get harder.
[13:13] Kizuna
    When Curran stops being able
    to blaze through the questions,
[13:16] Kizuna
    they'll use the Thought Gems
    to give Claudine a boost.
[13:21] Nick
    I'm getting tired.
[13:24] Nick
    If I want to use my speed to go on the
    offensive, this is my last chance, but...
[13:28] Crowd
    Stop running around!
[13:30] Crowd
    Coward!
[13:32] Leon
    Let the crowd say what they want.
[13:34] Leon
    But buying time is part of our secret plan.
[13:37] Leon
    I'll last as long as my strength holds out!
[13:47] Tiana
    That's strange...
[13:48] Tiana
    I'm not seeing any traces of magic use.
[13:52] Tiana
    Were we wrong?
[13:54] Tiana
    Or is there some other plan?
[13:58] Zem
    The math's about to go beyond
    what Curran learned.
[14:01] Zem
    In the next round, she'll...
[14:10] Tiana
    Looks like I'll need to make more smoke.
[14:27] Tiana
    Vilma.
[14:30] Vilma
    What?
[14:32] Tiana
    This is just wasting everybody's time.
[14:35] Tiana
    Why don't we do all the
    remaining problems at once?
[14:37] Tiana
    Our leader's tough enough to take it.
[14:39] Crowds
    Sounds like fun!
[14:40] Crowds
    Do it!
[14:43] Vilma
    You understand that means he'll take all
    the penalty punches at once, right?
[14:48] Nick
    Sounds good to me!
[14:49] Nick
    I was going to say it if nobody else did.
[14:52] Curran
    Nick...
[14:54] Leon
    Is that woman stupid?
[14:57] Leon
    He might be strong, but only for a human.
[15:01] Leon
    With the damage he's taken,
    does she think he can survive?
[15:07] Leon
    If he's lucky, it'll put him in a coma.
    If he's not, he's a dead man.
[15:12] Leon
    Are they trying to stop us from buying time?
[15:14] Leon
    But it's too late!
[15:15] Leon
    Our plan's already complete!
[15:17] Leon
    Your struggles will only
    make it easier for us!
[15:22] Tiana
    I'll drive that alley cat from its hole!
[15:26] Vilma
    Now begin!
[15:30] Tiana
    Come on out, alley cat!
[15:33] Claudine
    I've solved all the problems so far on my own,
[15:35] Claudine
    but I can't let there be any
    chance of me losing this.
[15:40] Crowd
    She's fast!
[15:41] Crowd
    Nice, Dragonian!
[15:45] Claudine
    She's bluffing.
[15:47] Claudine
    I've seen the scores she's gotten.
    She doesn't really know any of this stuff.
[15:51] Claudine
    She's trying to pressure me by
    writing wrong answers quickly.
[15:55] Claudine
    But this is my chance.
[15:57] Claudine
    I'll speed up and get through this.
[16:00] Claudine
    Beg, your turn.
[16:02] Beg
    I've been waiting for this!
[16:04] Claudine
    We'll do these fast.
[16:06] Claudine
    First, 78+594/3.
[16:11] Claudine
    We've made a ton of money
    with these Thought Gems,
[16:15] Claudine
    but it's too dangerous.
[16:17] Claudine
    This'll be the last time.
[16:19] Claudine
    And then I'll leave the Iron Tigers...
[16:22] Claudine
    Yeah. And then maybe I'll live a quiet,
    normal life in some small town.
[16:27] Beg
    You ready?
[16:29] Claudine
    Go.
[16:30] Beg
    First is 2, 7, 6.
[16:33] Beg
    Second is 3, 6, 8.
[16:36] Beg
    The third is...
[16:52] Nick
    So, I don't see the other member
    of the Iron Tigers anywhere.
[16:56] Nick
    He's not sick or anything, right?
[16:58] Leon
    Oh, yeah. The guy said he had better
    stuff to do than show up for this fight.
[17:04] Leon
    Wait, that girl made a big fuss
    about changing the rules.
[17:08] Leon
    Where'd she go?
[17:10] Leon
    Did they figure part of it out?
[17:12] Leon
    No, it's impossible.
[17:14] Leon
    Even if they did, it shouldn't matter.
[17:17] Leon
    It shouldn't get them where they need to go.
[17:20] Leon
    Why do I have this awful feeling...
[17:25] Leon
    Don't tell me...
[17:27] Leon
    This whole thing's a trap?
[17:28] Leon
    Wait, Claudine!
[17:30] Claudine
    Shut up and don't talk to me!
[17:33] Vilma
    What are you talking about?
[17:37] Leon
    It's too dangerous, Claudine!
[17:39] Leon
    You're good enough at math to outwit
    that Dragonian on your own, right?
[17:44] Claudine
    Give me the whole thing starting
    from the second problem again.
[17:46] Claudine
    No, not that one. The one after 32.6!
[17:50] Claudine
    Damn it! Just give me
    the answer to that one!
[17:56] Claudine
    I thought he'd be ruined
    forever after I dumped him.
[17:59] Claudine
    But now he's back as an adventurer.
[18:02] Claudine
    What is he?
[18:03] Claudine
    What's that guy's deal?!
[18:06] Claudine
    This time, I'll get him hurt.
[18:08] Beg
    Um, I'm redoing the problem after 32.6...
[18:14] Beg
    So, um, wait...
[18:15] Kizuna
    I can't bear to watch this anymore!
[18:18] Kizuna
    That's the one Claudine wants!
[18:20] Beg
    Oh, right! Thanks!
[18:22] Beg
    Huh?
[18:38] Nick
    Here's why you're an idiot: you let
    Vilma hear you propose the duel!
[18:44] Nick
    The guild's using this battle
    for their own purposes.

[18:56] Claudine
    Are you done yet?
[18:57] Claudine
    Answer me!
[18:59] Claudine
    You're taking too damn long!
[19:04] Claudine
    You're taking too long!
[19:14] Tiana
    Sorry, did we keep you waiting?
[19:21] Beg
    Sorry, I messed up.
[19:25] Claudine
    Idiot.
[19:26] Tiana
    So here's your tail.
[19:31] Vilma
    That's a Thought Gem. I'm sure of it.
[19:36] Vilma
    You've got one, too, don't you, Claudine?
[19:40] Tiana
    I got a little worried when I
    couldn't pick up any magic.
[19:43] Tiana
    Sheesh... You waited too
    long to try and cheat.
[19:46] Crowd
    What?
[19:47] Crowd
    They were cheating?
[19:50] Vilma
    Too bad.
[19:52] Vilma
    I was hoping you might continue
    a fair fight until the end.
[19:57] Vilma
    You screwed up, big time.
[20:03] Leon
    When?
[20:05] Leon
    When did you figure it out?
[20:07] Curran
    We knew from the start
    that you were bad people!
[20:11] Leon
    Curran, that's not what he meant.
[20:13] Claudine
    When?
[20:19] Claudine
    I wasn't a bad person to start with!
[20:25] Claudine
    I wasn't a bad person to start with, either!
[20:29] Leon
    That's enough, Claudine.
[20:31] Claudine
    I wasn't...
[20:33] Leon
    We're finished.
[20:35] Claudine
    I wanted to believe, too...
[20:38] Claudine
    I wanted to believe!
[20:42] Curran
    Nobody's a bad person to start with.
[20:45] Curran
    Maybe you went off the right path somewhere,
[20:47] Curran
    but I don't have the right
    to say that to you.
[20:49] Curran
    'Cause sometimes maybe it's wrong,
    but you feel like you don't have a choice.
[20:54] Tiana
    But if you realize you made a mistake,
    you can go back and fix it.
[21:00] Tiana
    You can't start over, but you
    can correct your mistakes.
[21:05] Tiana
    That's what I've been telling myself lately.
SIGN    ELUSIVE AND STRANGE!
    A mysterious creature appears!
[21:14] Kizuna
    A mysterious, elusive creature
    appears in the Labyrinth City.
[21:17] Kizuna
    Seems neat!
[21:19] Nick
    You can't waste time on every
    weird thing out there.
[21:22] Kizuna
    Oh? Are you scared?
[21:24] Nick
    No, I don't mean the creature,
    I mean the article.
[21:28] Nick
    Don't believe that garbage.
[21:32] Kizuna
    You're so boring.
[21:33] Zem
    Nick's more of a realist than I thought.
[21:38] Curran
    Hey, Nick.
[21:39] Curran
    If I didn't need to get the right answers,
    was there any reason for me to study?
[21:44] Nick
    It's not that simple.
[21:46] Nick
    We were only able to win in
    the end because you showed
[21:49] Nick
    what you could do at the start.
[21:51] Nick
    You did a good job, Curran.
[21:54] Curran
    Y-Yeah?
[21:57] Tiana
    And I think what you've learned
    will help in your daily life, too.
[22:01] Kizuna
    W-Will it?
[22:04] Kizuna
    You might be able to tell at a glance who's
    got the best deal on the extra-large size!
[22:09] Curran
    Oh, that's handy!

[00:01] Leon
    Once there was an adventurer
    party called the Silver Tigers.
[00:05] Leon
    Their leader, Bishot, was a man of
    rare intelligence for a Tigerian.
[00:08] Leon
    He was my older brother.
[00:11] Leon
    The Mechasteel Moonhell...
[00:14] Leon
    That Labyrinth was like a living
    creature that sought out our blood,
[00:17] Leon
    and our lives, and stole
    them without remorse.
[00:25] Leon
    But we wouldn't let that
    place get away with it.
[00:28] Leon
    We found "them", we defeated them,
    and stole everything they had.
[00:33] Leon
    And without his genius,
    that would've been impossible.
[00:38] Leon
    He attained every kind of
    wealth and fame imaginable,
[00:41] Leon
    and died just like you'd expect him to.
[00:44] Leon
    A small, miserable death, without
    a trace of intelligence or dignity.
[00:49] Leon
    And that's why I thought to myself...
[00:52] Leon
    You can't believe in humanity!
[01:08] Knight
    Start talking.
[01:10] Knight
    No one ever saw a trace of the treasures
    you stole, not even on the black market.
[01:15] Leon
    I have one special secret.
[01:19] Knight
    You have it with you, don't you?
[01:21] Leon
    One of the things we stole from
    the labyrinth that night...
[01:24] Leon
    How'd you figure it out?
[01:27] Knight
    You've decided to start talking?
[01:29] Leon
    If you hadn't figured it out,
[01:30] Leon
    you would've lived to have a nice
    drink at the tavern tomorrow.
[01:34] Leon
    A treasure that was too dangerous
    to sell, and too dangerous to use.
[01:40] Leon
    Come forth! Sword of Destruction!
[01:43] Leon
    Life's a gamble, people say.
[01:47] Leon
    And that's true for us Tigerians, too.
[01:50] Leon
    Tonight, my gamble was that...

    And I'm calling him Mr. Gigolo.

    Of course.

    And then the dealer who's robbing him blind,

    I'll have no problems crushing them all.
[03:55] Nick
    There's a reason we're here.

    We'll be waiting!
[04:31] Kizuna
    Crap. We didn't get what we came for.
[04:35] Nick
    Since you're here,
    why not enjoy some gambling?
[04:38] Kizuna
    I can't gamble.
    I have ethics rules installed.

    Wow, look! Anti-magic paint!
[04:46] Male Clerk
    You're correct.

SIGN    WELCOME
[05:01] Leon
    Where are you, Nick?
[05:04] Leon
    I can smell you!
[05:24] Tiana
    They want me to join in and take
    some money from Mr. Gigolo, too?
[05:28] Tiana
    I see. They're making it pretty obvious.
[05:33] Tiana
    Sure, I'm in.
[05:35] Tiana
    In the end, I'll take you all
    for everything you've got.
[05:39] Tiana
    But right now, it's Mr. Gigolo I don't like.
[05:53] Donny
    Damn it!
[05:54] Donny
    You tricked me!
[05:56] Tiana
    Tricked?
[05:57] Tiana
    Who tricked who?
[06:01] Tiana
    Don't be silly.
    That's why we're all here, right?
[06:04] Tiana
    You've got no talent for gambling.
[06:07] Tiana
    Or rather, you're no gambler.
[06:10] Donny
    What?
[06:12] Tiana
    If you can't play with your own money,
[06:13] Tiana
    then go home and bet with your
    friends for penny candy.
[06:22] Bell
    U-Um, are you trying to get him to give up?
[06:28] Tiana
    No real gambler would pass up the
    opportunity to take three easy marks.
[06:36] Bell
    Thanks.
[06:39] Tiana
    I'm not one to tell other people
    how to live their lives...
[06:42] Tiana
    But why not ditch the guy?
[06:45] Bell
    Is it that easy to throw someone aside?
[06:49] Tiana
    It is.
[06:51] Tiana
    Both throwing someone away,
    and being thrown away.
[06:54] Bell
    Is that true?
[06:57] Tiana
    Knowing when to give up is
    what makes a good gambler.
[06:59] Tiana
    Once you get attached,
    you start making mistakes.
[07:02] Bell
    Will I ever be able to be a gambler?
[07:05] Tiana
    You already are, right?
[07:09] Tiana
    Some guys will keep betting on the dark
    horse, and then win big in the end.
[07:16] Bell
    Wh-What?
[07:18] Donny
    A-A monster!
[07:20] Bell
    Donny?

    Nick!
[07:33] Leon
    Come on out, Nick!
[07:35] Leon
    What am I doing?
[07:39] Leon
    Where am I?
[07:43] Leon
    I'm just looking for Nick...
[07:48] Leon
    I realized...
[07:50] Leon
    On that day, I realized...
[07:53] Leon
    Yeah. He never despaired.
[07:58] Leon
    I hated him. I was jealous of him.
    I was envious of him.
[08:02] Leon
    I wanted to be like him.
    I was miserable because of him.
[08:06] Leon
    I don't even know...
[08:08] Leon
    I can't even remember which of
    those feelings were real anymore.
[08:23] (Flashback) Leon
    Well?
[08:24] (Flashback) Leon
    This is what you wanted, right?
[08:28] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    It's been a long, long time, Leon.
[08:30] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    Are you finally ready to use me?
[08:33] (Flashback) Leon
    There's a man I want to kill.
[08:35] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    The pants-pisser here?
[08:38] (Flashback) Leon
    No, he's not here.
[08:41] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    You remember his smell, right?
[08:44] (Flashback) Leon
    Yeah, I'll never be able to
    forget that awful scent.
[08:48] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    Then I'll evolve your senses, so that you
    can find him with your own sense of smell.
[08:55] (Flashback) Leon
    The wonders of modern technology, huh?
[08:57] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    Don't be silly. This technology
    is hundreds of years old.
[09:02] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    You've all regressed greatly.
[09:05] (Flashback) Leon
    I'm joking.
[09:09] (Flashback) Leon
    Evolution!
[09:17] Leon
    Where are you, Nick?
[09:22] Leon
    His smell's coming from this way?
[09:27] Tiana
    What's a monster doing in the casino?
[09:29] Tiana
    This is bad.
[09:31] Tiana
    I handed over my weapons when I came in.
[09:34] Leon
    That smell... I know you.
[09:37] Leon
    You were with him, weren't you?
[09:39] Bell
    S-Someone you know?
[09:41] Tiana
    No!
[09:42] Leon
    Where's Nick?
[09:44] Tiana
    Nick? You mean that Nick?
[09:46] Leon
    That shithead Nick!
[09:49] Tiana
    The one who's big into idols?
[09:50] Leon
    The one who set us up in the
    Mathematics Bare Knuckle!
[09:55] Tiana
    The one who complains about
    little stuff far too much?
[09:57] Bell
    He definitely is someone you know, right?
[09:59] Leon
    The one who kept calling me a kitty!
[10:03] Tiana
    Which means you're...
[10:06] Bell
    Someone she knows!
[10:06] Leon
    I'm Leon!
[10:08] Tiana
    You're that Leon?
[10:08] Bell
    See? I knew you knew him.
[10:11] Tiana
    You've changed a lot since I last saw you.
[10:15] Tiana
    What do you want with Nick?
[10:16] Leon
    What else? I want to break him in half.
[10:20] Tiana
    And you think I'll hand him over?
[10:22] Leon
    That's up to you.
[10:24] Leon
    I'm curious to see which you value more:
    your own life or Nick's.
[10:30] Tiana
    What do you expect me to say?
    My life or Nick's...
[10:34] Leon
    Hey, choose your next words carefully.
[10:37] Leon
    My enhanced sense of smell
    can even sniff out lies.
[10:44] Leon
    The second I know you're lying, you're
    going to end up a stain on the carpet.
[10:54] Nick
    It's pretty loud out there.
[10:57] Kizuna
    What's going on?!
[11:00] Tiana
    My life or Nick's...
[11:03] Tiana
    It's a stupid question.
    One with only one answer.
[11:06] Tiana
    But if I say it, I'll end
    up as a carpet stain.
[11:13] Tiana
    I'm sure of it.
[11:22] Tiana
    Hey, you.
[11:25] Tiana
    Why did you think you could
    use me as a hostage?
[11:28] Leon
    What? Because if I threaten the
    life of one of his comrades...
[11:34] Leon
    What's so funny?
[11:35] Tiana
    Comrades, huh?
[11:37] Tiana
    So does that mean, even to a villain
    like you, we look like comrades?
[11:41] Leon
    What are you saying?
[11:43] Tiana
    We're not comrades.
[11:45] Tiana
    None of us trust each other.
[11:47] Tiana
    We're a group of adventurers who don't
    believe in humanity, or each other.
[11:52] Leon
    You can't believe in humanity!
[11:55] Tiana
    I see... comrades, huh?
[12:01] Leon
    Do you understand the situation you're in?
[12:03] Tiana
    Of course I do.
[12:06] Tiana
    I guess we do look like
    comrades, then? That's funny.
[12:11] Leon
    You...
[12:17] Tiana
    This is pretty pricey stuff.
[12:20] Tiana
    The pipe's made from a spirit tree.
[12:22] Tiana
    And the leaves are specially
    grown in the south.
[12:26] Tiana
    I guess this is my last smoke, though.
[12:29] Tiana
    Oh, right.
    This igniter's a little different.
[12:33] Tiana
    It's got a special thing where you
    can disable the limiter and...
[12:37] Tiana
    Lightning Flash!
[12:46] Tiana
    And you can do little attacks with it!
[12:55] Tiana
    Crap!
[12:57] Tiana
    Once something changes, it never
    goes back to how it was before.
[12:59] Tiana
    That's what my brother always said.
[13:02] Tiana
    That was a big burn...
    and it's already healed?
[13:06] Leon
    That just now told me how you really feel.
[13:12] Tiana
    You there!
[13:14] Tiana
    She's your money ticket, right? Protect her!
[13:17] Tiana
    Quickly!
[13:23] Donny
    I-I'm not with Bell for the money!
[13:28] Tiana
    Hurry!
[13:31] Tiana
    We're not comrades like you think.
[13:36] Tiana
    We're just people who've lost everything,
[13:39] Tiana
    leaning on each other to keep
    from collapsing entirely.
[13:43] Tiana
    We'd never help each other if it meant we
    had to risk something that mattered to us.
[13:46] Leon
    What?
[13:49] Leon
    I don't smell a lie.
[13:51] Leon
    She means it...
[13:53] Leon
    No, this is...
[13:55] Leon
    The smell of hope and resignation.
[13:59] Leon
    Pathetic.
[14:00] Tiana
    I guarantee to you that even if you take
    me hostage, Nick won't come for me!
[14:06] Leon
    Then...
[14:08] Leon
    die!
[14:12] Nick
    Oh, a big cat.
[14:17] Nick
    You know this guy?
[14:21] Tiana
    That's right.
[14:22] Nick
    I can't have you dying on me.
[14:25] Nick
    'Cause having you around is to my benefit.
[14:30] Leon
    So you finally came, huh?
[14:32] Nick
    Hey there, big cat.
[14:35] Leon
    You haven't changed.
[14:36] Tiana
    Nick, be careful!
    He's not who he used to be.
[14:39] Nick
    Used to be?
[14:41] Nick
    Do I know any big cats?
[14:44] Leon
    You do! I used to be a kitty!
[14:48] Nick
    So you've started admitting it.
[14:51] Leon
    You knew who I was!
[14:54] Sword of Destruction
    Wait, Leon.
[14:57] Sword of Destruction
    There's one more here.
[14:58] Leon
    What?
[14:59] Sword of Destruction
    There's one more here.
[15:01] Leon
    What did you say?
[15:04] Sword of Bonds
    You've finally noticed, huh?
[15:06] Sword of Destruction
    So it's you, Sword of Bonds!
[15:09] Sword of Bonds
    I should've known it would
    be you, Sword of Evolution.
[15:12] Leon
    Hey, who are you talking to?
[15:15] Nick
    He's talking to his sword, too?
[15:17] Sword of Bonds
    He should be.
[15:19] Sword of Bonds
    But the owner is only barely
    keeping the sword under control.
[15:22] Sword of Destruction
    It's been centuries since last we met.
[15:24] Sword of Destruction
    Begone instead of trying to get in my way.
[15:27] Sword of Bonds
    That's not possible.
[15:29] Sword of Destruction
    Then, I'll get rid of you by force.
[15:32] Sword of Destruction
    Leon, I'll bestow upon you my full grace!
[15:35] Sword of Destruction
    Irrational Moonlight!
[15:43] Tiana
    You're kidding!
[15:44] Nick
    He got bigger again!
[15:46] Sword of Bonds
    That's crazy! His wielder
    won't survive that!
[15:48] Sword of Bonds
    He's swallowing up not just
    their body, but their mind, too.
[15:52] Nick
    Hey, big cat!
[15:54] Nick
    If you get too big, you won't fit on
    the roof when you go to sunbathe!
[16:00] Nick
    We can't even talk to him, huh?
[16:01] Tiana
    Kizuna! Union!
[16:04] Nick
    Will it work?
[16:05] Sword of Bonds
    Try it!

    No... What am I doing?

    Why am I doing this?
[17:00] Leon
    I won't make any money...
    I won't make anyone happy...
[17:04] Leon
    This isn't what I wanted to do!
[17:09] Leon
    Stop it!
[17:11] Leon
    I just wanted to rough him up a little bit!
[17:15] Leon
    I sent people flying.
[17:17] Leon
    Guards, innocent women, and children alike.
[17:19] Leon
    These expensive-looking decorations...
[17:21] Leon
    This place where everyone has fun...
    I've wrecked it all!
[17:24] Sword of Destruction
    That's right.
[17:26] Sword of Destruction
    Your power can destroy a place that was once
    filled with smiles with a single strike.
[17:31] Sword of Destruction
    It's fun, isn't it?
[17:32] Sword of Destruction
    To have overwhelming power.
[17:35] Sword of Destruction
    Look. Everyone is in awe of your power.
[17:38] Sword of Destruction
    They flee, knowing that death
    awaits them at any moment!
[17:45] Leon
    Stop it! Stop!
[17:47] Sword of Destruction
    It's too late.
    This is what you've always done.
[17:53] Nick/Tiana
    Ice Shield!
[18:00] Sword of Destruction
    When you took me from the Mechasteel
    Moonhell Labyrinth on that day,
[18:04] Sword of Destruction
    you were already like this.
[18:07] Sword of Destruction
    That's why you were able to hold me.
[18:10] Leon
    No!
[18:11] Leon
    I just wanted to be an
    adventurer, like my brother!
[18:15] Sword of Destruction
    But he's dead.
[18:18] Nick
    Ice Spear!
[18:21] Leon
    That's right! He was killed by assholes
    who I thought were comrades!
[18:26] Leon
    A bunch of cowards who he did everything for,
[18:31] Leon
    but who couldn't do anything without him!
[18:33] Sword of Destruction
    That's right.
[18:34] Sword of Destruction
    That's why you hate people.
[18:36] Leon
    I had the right to!
[18:38] Sword of Destruction
    Sure you had the right.
[18:40] Sword of Destruction
    And then, little by little,
    you loosened the rules,
[18:44] Sword of Destruction
    until you had the right
    to look down on everyone!
[18:47] Sword of Destruction
    Life's easy when you're better
    than everyone else, right?
[18:51] Sword of Destruction
    'Cause you don't need to think
    about anything more than that.
[18:54] Leon
    That's how I justified it.
[18:58] Leon
    When someone tricked me, it was their fault,
[19:00] Leon
    but when I tricked someone,
    it was also their fault.
[19:04] Sword of Destruction
    That's why you were chosen!
[19:06] Sword of Destruction
    And you grew up just like I hoped!
[19:09] Leon
    You're wrong!
[19:10] Sword of Destruction
    I'm not.
[19:12] Sword of Destruction
    My powers will never evolve in a
    way their bearer doesn't want.
[19:17] Leon
    I wasn't a bad guy from the start, either!
[19:26] Leon
    I'm not a bad guy!
[19:28] Sword of Destruction
    This is what you wanted, Leon!
[19:31] Leon
    Stop it!
[19:33] Leon
    Somebody stop me!
[19:35] Leon
    Somebody... save me!
[19:42] Leon
    Nick...
[19:47] Sword of Destruction
    Who's there?
[19:48] Sword of Destruction
    Don't get in my way!
[19:50] Sword of Destruction
    I have to evolve him into
    the strongest hero!
[19:55] Sword of Destruction
    Stop it!
[20:01] Nick/Tiana
    Ice Coffin!
[20:06] Nick/Tiana
    The anti-magic paint on these cards
    deflected the magic of the Sword of Destruction.
[20:11] Sword of Bonds
    With the light that brings evolution sealed,
    its wielder is cut off from those blessings.
[20:17] Sword of Bonds
    Simple, but very clever.
[20:29] Leon
    Thank you...
[20:37] Leon
    The same thing happens every time.
[20:41] Leon
    I'm a small-time villain.
[20:44] Leon
    My whole life's been this revolving cycle.
[20:47] Tiana
    We're just people who've lost everything,
[20:49] Tiana
    leaning on each other to keep
    from collapsing entirely.
[20:54] Leon
    Stupid girl...
[20:56] Leon
    That's what a comrade is, right?
[20:59] Guard
    You have a visitor.
[21:02] Leon
    You come to see the tiger
    in his cage at the zoo?
[21:05] Nick
    Yup.
[21:08] Nick
    He's lost a lot of weight in a short time.
[21:10] Nick
    His race is tough, but that wasn't
    the only reason he was strong.
[21:14] Nick
    He was only able to buy time in our
    fight because he trained every day.
[21:19] Nick
    It's a waste.
[21:23] Nick
    The building's a mess, but nobody died.
[21:29] Leon
    So I should've smashed the place up more?
[21:31] Nick
    Maybe.
[21:32] Nick
    You'll get out of shape
    fast in a place like this.
[21:37] Nick
    I sealed that sword away.
[21:40] Leon
    So that blonde girl was...
[21:42] Nick
    We've got a secret between
    just the two of us, huh?
[21:45] Leon
    I see...
[21:48] Leon
    That woman was...
[21:49] Nick
    Don't tell anyone.
[21:51] Leon
    Oh...
[21:53] Leon
    I thought it was weird that
    anybody but you could beat me.
[21:59] Leon
    Nick.
[22:03] Leon
    You can't get drunk on beer you paid for
    with money earned from lying, right?
[22:10] Nick
    I'm sure.

[00:05] Nick
    Okay, I'll try and keep up this pace!
[00:07] Agate
    Yeah, work hard! Work hard!
[00:15] Nick
    I must be tired.
[00:16] Nick
    I'm hearing Agate's voice...
[00:19] Agate
    Your hard work is paying off.
[00:21] Nick
    Is that really you, Agate?
[00:24] Agate
    Yes.
[00:25] Agate
    Agate lives in the hearts
    of her most devout fans.
[00:31] Nick
    And I've finally reached that level?!
[00:34] Agate
    Now you must continue to buy
    all her merchandise forever!
[00:39] Nick
    The Agate in my heart is kind of greedy.
[00:44] Agate
    You'll wind up out of breath
    if you keep running.
[00:47] Agate
    Why not take a break?
[00:49] Nick
    Y-Yeah. Good idea, Agate...
[00:52] Nick
    Agate?!
[00:56] Agate
    You're just running around this park with
    nowhere else to go, then, Mr. Stray Dog?
[01:01] Nick
    Is that what it looked like?
[01:04] Agate
    You have some goal, don't you?
[01:08] Nick
    Well, I guess so.
[01:10] Agate
    I'm glad.
[01:11] Agate
    Now I feel a little less guilty.
[01:15] Nick
    Guilty?
[01:16] Nick
    That's a little much, don't you think?
[01:18] Agate
    Yes. I almost killed someone!
[01:21] Nick
    That's definitely a little much!
[01:25] Agate
    You're not a stray dog at all
    anymore, are you, Mr. Stray Dog?
[01:30] Agate
    I've been really happy about that.
[01:34] Nick
    Sorry. Sometimes, I lose track
    of what you're talking about...
[01:40] Agate
    Of course.
[01:41] Agate
    Well, do you remember the
    day I gave you that ticket?
[01:44] Agate
    Give me a second so I can get
    it all straight in my head!
[01:49] Agate
    Once I did, two thoughts went to war in my brain:
[01:54] Agate
    that I'm glad I gave it to you, and that
    I never should have given it to you.
[01:57] Agate
    Oh, I don't mean they literally went to war.
[02:00] Nick
    I know that.
[02:03] Agate
    And then, the day of the
    concert, you showed up.
[02:08] Agate
    And the war between
    "I'm so glad I gave him the ticket"
[02:11] Agate
    and "I never should've given
    him that ticket" continued.
[02:15] Agate
    I mean, you'd think I'd feel better
    after you showed up, right?
[02:19] Nick
    Yeah.
[02:21] Agate
    The greatest thing for an idol is
    for someone to care about you.
[02:25] Agate
    But some people take it too far.
[02:29] Agate
    If you were that type of person,
    instead of helping you feel better,
[02:34] Agate
    I was worried I might've
    ruined your life for good.
[02:37] Agate
    And each time I saw you in the
    stands, I kept thinking that...
[02:43] Agate
    So I'm glad.
[02:47] Agate
    Do you follow me now?
[02:52] Nick
    To be honest, if I hadn't become an idol
    otaku, I might've chosen another thing.
[02:58] Nick
    I might've even become a criminal.
[03:01] Nick
    But instead, there was somebody like you
    to push me back on the right path.
[03:07] Nick
    That's what an idol is.
[03:10] Agate
    Huh...
[03:11] Nick
    "Huh"?!
[03:12] Agate
    No, no! It's a good "Huh".
[03:16] Nick
    "Huh".
[03:20] Agate
    Talking to you has made me feel
    better, Mr. Former Stray Dog.
[03:26] Agate
    I'm an idol, you know.
[03:28] Nick
    Huh?
[03:29] Agate
    I'm an idol, right?
[03:34] Nick
    I could tell there was something
    bothering her even before that.
[03:37] Nick
    She'd canceled all her concerts and
    stopped making public appearances.

    I help out at my boyfriend's bar,

[05:30] Bell
    Nobody listens to me.
[05:34] Bell
    I sing for my own sake.
[05:39] (Flashback) Joseph
    That was a wonderful song.
[05:45] (Flashback) Bell
    R-Right...
[05:48] (Flashback) Bell
    Thank you.
[05:50] (Flashback) Joseph
    But...
[05:52] (Flashback) Joseph
    you'd do better if you faced
    towards the customers.
[05:55] (Flashback) Bell

[06:06] (Flashback) Joseph
    Let me ask you a question:
[06:10] (Flashback) Joseph
    would you like to be an idol?
[06:14] (Flashback) Donny
    Bell, I told you to kick out
    customers if they act weird.
[06:18] (Flashback) Bell
    S-Sorry.
[06:20] (Flashback) Joseph
    My apologies.
[06:21] (Flashback) Joseph
    You're the owner of this fine establishment?
[06:24] (Flashback) Donny
    You don't look like a customer to me.
[06:26] (Flashback) Joseph
    I've come to recruit her as an idol.
[06:30] (Flashback) Donny
    How much?
[06:31] (Flashback) Bell
    Donny!
[06:33] (Flashback) Joseph
    Let's just say it's a world
    where dreams come true.
[06:39] (Flashback) Donny
    Sounds fun.
[06:40] (Flashback) Bell
    Hey...
[06:41] (Flashback) Joseph
    I hope you'll come to one of our concerts.
[06:46] (Flashback) Joseph
    Would it be best if I spoke
    to the owner from now on?
[06:49] (Flashback) Donny
    Yeah. I'm basically her manager.
[06:53] (Flashback) Crowd
    Man, I can't wait!
[06:57] (Flashback) Crowd
    I'm so nervous!
[07:03] (Flashback) Topaz
    This place is incredible...
[07:06] (Flashback) Amber
    We've come this far.
    Let's have fun before we go home.
[07:09] (Flashback) Topaz
    Y-Yeah.
[07:19] (Flashback) Idol
    Thanks for coming, everyone!
[07:25] Bell
    When I was scouted, the feeling
    that took root in my heart...
[07:30] Bell
    was greed.
[07:33] Bell
    I wanted to be like them!
[07:36] Bell
    I wanted people to listen
    to and enjoy my songs!
[07:40] Bell
    I wanted people to accept me.
[07:44] Bell
    I was much greedier than I thought I was.
[07:55] (Flashback) Bell/Amber/Topaz
    Thank you very much!
[07:59] (Flashback) Topaz
    You, too?
[08:00] (Flashback) Amber
    Then, the three of us are rivals, huh?
[08:07] Bell
    The three of us were all
    given different names.
[08:10] Bell
    We each took the name of a jewel:
[08:13] Bell
    Topaz.
[08:14] Bell
    Amber.
[08:15] Bell
    And I became Agate.
[08:18] Bell
    My days as an idol were so wonderful...
[08:23] Bell
    And my relationship with
    Donny quickly went south.
[08:28] (Flashback) Donny
    Hey, Bell...
[08:30] (Flashback) Donny
    I hate to ask, but can I have some money?
[08:34] Bell
    So when Donny said those words
    to me, I wasn't that sad.
[08:39] (Flashback) Bell
    The bar's doing that badly?
[08:43] (Flashback) Donny
    Just this once.
[08:45] (Flashback) Donny
    You've got the money, right?
[08:54] (Flashback) Bell
    Um, Donny, I'm...
[08:54] Donny
    Good timing, Bell!
[08:59] Bell
    The brighter the spotlights
    shone down on me as an idol,
[09:02] Bell
    the bigger a shadow they cast
    over my life with Donny.
[09:06] (Flashback) Donny
    Please, Bell! This is the last time!
[09:09] (Flashback) Bell
    Again?
[09:09] (Flashback) Donny
    This time it'll be fine!
    I've got connections!
[09:12] (Flashback) Bell
    What do you mean?
[09:14] (Flashback) Donny
    Remember that Tigerian that
    came to the bar the other day?
[09:17] (Flashback) Donny
    He's going to help me out.
[09:20] (Flashback) Bell
    And you're going gambling with him?
[09:21] (Flashback) Donny
    D-Dumb girl!
[09:23] (Flashback) Donny
    It's an investment!
[09:24] (Flashback) Donny
    Don't worry. I'll give you back
    a dozen times what you lend me.
[09:30] (Flashback) Donny
    Thanks so much, Bell...
[09:46] (Flashback) Donny
    Hello, Mr. Stray Dog.
[09:54] Donny
    Donny, I've got enough money
    to support you financially.
[09:59] Donny
    And I know you're blowing
    your money on gambling.
[10:04] Donny
    But...
[10:05] Donny
    Is that really what you want?
[10:08] Donny
    The dream you shared with me before
    was something totally different!

    People will come from all over

[10:16] (Flashback) Donny
    Broke-ass adventurers and politicians
[10:19] (Flashback) Donny
    with pricey tastes will
    both be equal before me!
[10:24] (Flashback) Donny
    Don't worry! When that happens,
    I'll be adding more tables,
[10:28] (Flashback) Donny
    but I'll have a stage for you to
    sing on in the middle of the place!
[10:32] (Flashback) Donny
    We'll bedazzle them with my

[10:36] (Flashback) Donny
    It'll be so much fun, don't you think?
[10:40] Bell
    And that was the first time I saw him...
[10:48] (Flashback) Claudine
    So, let's break up, then!
[10:50] (Flashback) Claudine
    I mean, if you're not part of Masters of War,
[10:53] (Flashback) Claudine
    you're just a wimpy Swashbuckler.
[10:55] (Flashback) Nick
    Wait, Claudine!
[10:56] (Flashback) Claudine
    Bye.
[10:57] (Flashback) Nick
    No... Claudine...
[11:05] Bell
    Then it really started to pour.
[11:10] Bell
    He didn't even have an umbrella.
[11:13] Bell
    He didn't even seem to
    realize it was raining.
[11:25] (Flashback) Bell
    You're soaked.
[11:29] Bell
    Once, Donny had said to me...
[11:32] (Flashback) Donny
    I'll let you watch as I win a lot of money!
[11:34] (Flashback) Donny
    Then you'll feel a little better, right?
[11:37] (Flashback) Donny
    About the future, and stuff.
[11:41] Bell
    Those words felt to me like a break-up.
[11:45] Bell
    So I went without saying a thing.
[11:48] Bell
    I wanted to see for myself, just once.
[11:52] (Flashback) Bell
    Yeah...
[11:55] Bell
    And on that day in the
    casino, I met a goddess.
[12:02] Bell
    When Donny was starting
    to win, things changed.
[12:10] Bell
    She wasn't the goddess.
[12:15] Bell
    She was more like the avatar
    of gambling itself,
[12:19] Bell
    taking all the chips from everyone
    there and walking away.
[12:25] Bell
    She had her eyes on me the whole time.
[12:29] Bell
    If anything, she seemed to have chosen
    that table because I was there.
[12:34] Bell
    It wasn't Donny or the dealer she
    wanted to destroy. It was me.
[12:40] Bell
    And when she'd finished
    punishing me, she laughed,
[12:43] Bell
    satisfied, and disappeared
    in a puff of smoke.
[12:48] Bell
    The goddess had a sword that
    controlled the weather,
[12:52] Bell
    and in an instant, she turned
    the room into a frozen tundra.
[12:56] Bell
    It was a sight that inspired
    awe, and even fear.
[13:14] Bell
    My paladin...
[13:18] (Flashback) Joseph
    We've assumed responsibility
    for all of your debts.
[13:25] (Flashback) Joseph
    No one will distract you
    from your cooking now.
[13:29] (Flashback) Joseph
    You may sleep peacefully,
    without fear of debt collectors.
[13:34] (Flashback) Joseph
    But this is also the end of your
    relationship with our idol.
[13:40] (Flashback) Joseph
    Even if you were to somewhere,
    someday, see her on the street,
[13:45] (Flashback) Joseph
    please don't say a word. Just walk by.
[13:48] (Flashback) Joseph
    Like the other people on the street.
[13:51] (Flashback) Joseph
    If you fail to do this...
[13:54] Donny
    B-Bell, I'm sorry!
[13:57] (Flashback) Joseph
    Donny, you don't even know this girl.
[13:57] Donny
    I didn't mean...
[14:02] (Flashback) Joseph
    And a stranger has no right to
    touch one of our precious jewels.
[14:07] (Flashback) Bell
    It's all right, Joseph!
[14:09] (Flashback) Donny
    B-Bell!
[14:11] (Flashback) Joseph
    I'm glad I got your signature
    on the documents first.
[14:14] (Flashback) Joseph
    While you were still
    capable of signing them.
[14:18] (Flashback) Bell
    Donny...
[14:20] (Flashback) Bell
    Your dreams were so innocent and fun.
[14:23] (Flashback) Bell
    I wish I could've stood by your
    side and listened to them forever.
[14:27] (Flashback) Bell
    I was even willing to quit
    being an idol for that.
[14:31] (Flashback) Bell
    But at some point,
    you stopped looking at me.
[14:34] (Flashback) Donny
    Bell, I...
[14:36] (Flashback) Bell
    At some point, all you were
    seeing was the money behind me.
[14:41] (Flashback) Bell
    I know you're not actually
    that kind of person.
[14:45] (Flashback) Bell
    But right now, having me around
    just makes your life worse.
[14:50] (Flashback) Donny
    Bell...
[14:52] (Flashback) Bell
    No, that's not true...
[14:55] (Flashback) Bell
    The truth is, I'm just tired
    of betting on the dark horse.
[15:00] (Flashback) Donny
    The dark horse? That's me?
[15:04] (Flashback) Bell
    I'm sorry.
[15:06] (Flashback) Donny
    That's pretty damn...
[15:11] (Flashback) Bell
    I'm sorry.
[15:15] (Flashback) Donny
    It's fine. That's the problem with amateurs.
[15:19] (Flashback) Donny
    Listen to me, Bell.
[15:21] (Flashback) Donny
    When you're gambling, the minute you
    give up, somebody else takes your prize.
[15:26] (Flashback) Joseph
    I'm afraid you...
[15:28] (Flashback) Donny
    Yeah, I know that, Joseph.
[15:30] (Flashback) Donny
    I'm not worth that much.
[15:32] (Flashback) Donny
    From my perspective, the offer you're
    making is too good to be true.
[15:37] (Flashback) Donny
    But the way gambling works,
[15:41] (Flashback) Donny

[15:45] (Flashback) Donny
    Just you watch, Bell.
[15:49] (Flashback) Bell
    Donny.
[15:52] (Flashback) Bell
    Take this.
[15:54] (Flashback) Bell
    You saw that goddess, too, right?
[15:58] (Flashback) Bell
    She'll protect you.
[16:02] (Flashback) Donny
    Dumb girl.
[16:03] (Flashback) Donny
    Why would you give a gambler
    something so scary?
[16:07] (Flashback) Bell
    Really? I'm sorry!
[16:12] (Flashback) Donny
    Nah, it's ironic. I like that.
[16:19] (Flashback) Joseph
    We were lucky that he hurt himself
    dealing with those drunks.
[16:24] (Flashback) Joseph
    I never want to do something
    scary like that again.
[16:27] (Flashback) Bell
    Thank you so much.
[16:30] (Flashback) Bell
    Um... the card I just gave him...
[16:37] (Flashback) Joseph
    "Accept your death".
[16:39] (Flashback) Joseph
    You've certainly learned to
    speak your mind, haven't you?
[16:41] (Flashback) Bell
    No! I didn't mean... Jeez!
[16:45] Bell
    I never saw him after that.
SIGN    Celebrating Agate's Comeback
    Solo Concert
[17:10] Nick
    When Agate announced she was taking
    a break, I was sure it was over.
[17:14] Nick
    But now she's back, and with a solo concert!
[17:20] Agate
    Good evening, everyone!
[17:31] Agate
    I know that I might have worried
    you when I took that break...
[17:35] Audience
    It's okay!
[17:36] Audience
    We've been waiting!
[17:37] Agate
    What do you think I was doing?
[17:40] Audience
    What?
[17:42] Audience
    You went home to your parents!
[17:44] Audience
    You ate food!
[17:45] Audience
    You were asleep the whole time!
[17:46] Audience
    You walked the dog!
[17:51] Agate
    Actually, I met a goddess!
[17:59] Agate
    You remember that sad incident that
    took place at the casino, right?
[18:06] Agate
    I was nearby, and I saw a knight in
    pure white battle the raging monster.
[18:16] Agate
    When danger was near, this pure white
    knight appeared from within the light,
[18:20] Agate
    defeated the bad guy, and left
    without giving her name.
[18:25] Agate
    Yes... the goddess I saw was...
[18:29] Agate
    the legendary paladin!
[18:31] Nick
    What?!
[18:33] Jonathan
    That's a big surprise, huh?
[18:34] Nick
    Y-Yeah...
[18:38] Agate
    I thought to myself that I wanted to
    help someone and give them courage,
[18:43] Agate
    like she gave to me.
[18:45] Agate
    So I wrote this new song, thinking of her,
[18:48] Agate
    and hoping that the feelings
    inside me can reach all of you.
[18:56] Agate
    Listen to my new song.
[18:58] Agate
    "The Beautiful Paladin".
[19:12] Agate
    Holding my head high into the future
[19:19] Agate
    even if it leads beyond the light,
[19:25] Agate
    I will keep vowing, I will keep believing.
[19:30] Agate
    No matter how dazzling the light may be...
[19:37] Agate
    I'll go on!
[19:39] Agate
    Idols got their start as bards.
[19:43] Agate
    And bards were more than
    people who just sang songs.
[19:48] Agate
    They traveled and wrote songs of
    the things they heard and saw,
[19:54] Agate
    of the beautiful and noble
    things in this world,
[19:57] Agate
    and sometimes of the foolishness of mankind.
[20:00] Agate
    My encounter with the paladin made me
    realize that I wanted to be a real idol.
[20:07] Agate
    I want to be like those bards,
    and inspire and encourage people who fight.

    Celebrating Agate's Comeback
    Solo Concert
    South Terane Auditorium Outdoor Stage
    Gates 17:30, Start 18:00
    Produced by Jewelry Productions
[20:27] Agate
    "It feels so good to have a
    drink after you exercise.
[20:31] Agate
    I think I just heard Agate's voice.
[20:35] Agate
    No, no. She must be tired
[20:37] Agate
    after her massively successful
    comeback concert the other day.
[20:41] Agate
    There's no way she'd come
    to see a stray dog like me!
[20:46] Agate
    Wahaha!"
[20:49] Nick
    My internal voice sure likes to prattle on...
[20:53] Agate
    "But more importantly, this drink...
[20:56] Agate
    This drink is what I live for!"
[20:58] Nick
    You okay?
[21:00] Agate
    W-With what?
[21:03] Nick
    You looked like something was
    bothering you last time.
[21:08] Agate
    N-Nothing was bothering me...
[21:12] Agate
    Worries...
[21:16] Agate
    Of course I have worries. I'm human.
[21:21] Agate
    You solve one, and then there's another...
[21:24] Agate
    Or two or three at the same time...
[21:28] Nick
    Yeah.
[21:29] Agate
    Or four, or five, or six...
[21:33] Nick
    Once you get a taste for them,
    it's hard to let go.
[21:36] Agate
    That's true for people and
    stray dogs both, woof.
[21:41] Nick
    You're still doing that?
[21:42] Agate
    A stray dog can be strong, too, woof.
[21:45] Agate
    I can do this, woof.
[21:48] Nick
    Yeah. You gotta.
[21:51] Agate
    Woof. Woof.
[21:54] Nick
    Whenever you resolve
    something that's bothering you,
[21:56] Nick
    it means you're taking a step forward.
[21:59] Agate
    Yeah.
[22:07] Nick
    You gotta move forward.
[22:12] Agate
    Woof.

SIGN    STEPPING
[00:05] Kizuna
    A terrifying phantom that kidnaps
    children under the cover of night!
[00:09] Kizuna
    It can hop around in mid-air,
    and no one in Labyrinth City can stop it!
[00:13] Kizuna
    Don't you think that's romantic?
[00:17] Tiana
    "Romance" is one of those words

    Hey! Stepping Man is real!
[00:29] Kizuna
    There are witnesses!
[00:32] Nick
    Don't believe everything you read

[00:35] Kizuna
    I'd love to meet Stepping Man.

    I'm Olivia Taylor, an adventurer and

[00:46] Kizuna
    Lemuria Monthly? I love your magazine!
[00:49] Olivia
    Your words honor me.
[00:51] Nick
    You just found out about it a while ago.
[00:54] Kizuna
    That's a terrible thing

    Can you wipe your face off?
[04:56] Zem
    Thanks so much, Red.
[04:59] Red
    You owe me for this, Zem.
[05:01] Red
    We're not a hospital, you know.
[05:03] Nick
    What were you doing out there that late?
[05:06] Nick
    Any idea who that guy was?
[05:09] Red
    She just went through
    something really scary.
[05:11] Red
    You don't have to interrogate her.
[05:13] Nick
    S-Sorry.
[05:17] Reina
    That's... Stepping Man!
[05:22] Reina
    My mom's no liar!
[05:24] Reina
    She's not...
[05:32] Zem
    Tell me more.
[05:36] Reina
    Mom would always go out late at night
    to try and defeat Stepping Man.
[05:42] Reina
    But she lost, and now she's in the hospital.
[05:47] Red
    Oh, my...
[05:48] Reina
    My mom realized
[05:51] Reina
    that all the disappearing children
    lately were because of Stepping Man.
[05:57] Reina
    But nobody would believe her...
[06:01] Zem
    Well, most people wouldn't believe.
[06:06] Zem
    But we saw it with our own eyes.
[06:11] Zem
    We saw someone hiding themselves
    in the darkness, attacking a child,
[06:15] Zem
    and jumping from roof to roof with ease.
[06:20] Zem
    Um, what's your name?
[06:23] Reina
    Reina.
[06:24] Zem
    Reina, we believe your mom.
[06:29] Zem
    And I respect her bravery in challenging
    such a difficult opponent all by herself.
[06:35] Reina
    Zem...
[06:37] Reina
    Zem!

    Please make me your student!
[06:46] Zem
    My student?
[06:49] Reina
    Yes.
[06:49] Reina
    I was so impressed by how
    brave you were back there!
[06:54] Nick
    Listen, he was once...
[06:56] Zem
    You're ten years...
[06:59] Zem
    no, fifteen years too
    young to be my student.
[07:06] Reina
    Fifteen years?
[07:10] Reina
    S-So how should I train until then?
[07:14] Zem
    Well, for today, get some
    rest at Miss Red's place.
[07:20] Red
    We can go see your mom in the morning.
[07:23] Zem
    And never do anything so dangerous again.
[07:28] Reina
    Okay, Master!
[07:30] Zem
    Until fifteen years have passed,
    you must not get any closer to me.
[07:36] Zem
    Can you do that?
[07:37] Reina
    I can!
[07:38] Zem
    Good girl.
[07:41] Kizuna
    This sucks.
[07:43] Red
    Oh, my... You're such a young boy to
    be letting out such a big sigh...
[07:47] Kizuna
    My beloved Stepping Man turned
    out to be that cheap fraud.
[07:52] Nick
    We got closer to finding out his
    true identity. That's a big step.
[07:55] Kizuna
    He doesn't have a "true identity".
    He's just some kidnapper.
[08:00] Kizuna
    I'm just going to have to destroy
    this fake Stepping Man!
[08:03] Kizuna
    I'll catch him myself!
[08:05] Zem
    We can't leave him on the loose
    after he hurt Reina, either.
[08:11] Nick
    Then...
[08:13] Nick
    Let's make a job out of it.
[08:20] Nick
    This guild is filled with bounty hunters,
    so it's a little rougher than most.
[08:29] Nick
    Give us what you know about Stepping Man.
[08:32] Jun
    I don't think I've seen
    the four of them before.
[08:35] Nick
    Oh, right.
[08:37] Jun
    We can't share info on expensive bounties
[08:39] Jun
    with adventurers who've never
    accomplished anything.
[08:42] Jun
    Mr. Former-Member-of-Masters-of-War.
[08:48] Tiana
    You just said the word
    "expensive," didn't you?
[08:51] Kizuna
    Bingo.
[08:52] Zem
    So there is a bounty out on him.
[08:55] Jun
    I didn't say that...
[08:59] Jun
    Okay, how's this for starters?
[09:02] Nick
    Hale Hardy...
[09:03] Kizuna
    The reward is 300,000 dinah.
[09:05] Kizuna
    That's not bad.
[09:07] Jun
    You got the Iron Tigers sent to jail.
[09:10] Jun
    This should be easy for you Survivors.
[09:14] Bounty Hunter 1
    Those are the Survivors?
[09:15] Bounty Hunter 2
    Wow!
[09:16] Ash
    They ain't bounty hunters.
    They're muscling in on our turf.
[09:20] Tiana
    Jealousy is unbecoming of a bounty hunter.
[09:23] Ash
    You amateurs should stick
    to fighting goblins!
[09:27] Comrade
    Stop it!
[09:28] Ash
    Don't try to stop me!
[09:29] Comrade
    He doesn't mean anything by it!
[09:30] Comrade
    Please don't provoke him...
[09:33] Tiana
    We'll find this Hale guy and bring him here.
[09:38] Zem
    She doesn't mean anything by it.
[09:39] Curran
    She's not provoking him, either!
[09:42] Ash
    All right.
[09:43] Ash
    Let's take bets, guys!
[09:46] Ash
    I bet they fail—
[09:55] Tiana
    50,000 dinah on the
    Survivors pulling it off.
[10:01] Tiana
    And you?
[10:03] Ash
    I... I bet my whole fortune
    on the Survivors failing...
[10:07] Comrade
    Sorry!
[10:09] Comrade
    He's getting a little too heated.
[10:11] Tiana
    Go make some money while
    you're waiting for us to get back.
[10:16] Bounty Hunters
    Okay, Ash, I bet on you!
[10:19] Bounty Hunters
    I bet tonight's bar tab on the lady!
[10:22] Bounty Hunters
    I bet my rent money that
    the Survivors get killed!
[10:28] Nick
    Garbage Collection. By far the
    most dangerous slum in the city.
[10:32] Nick
    They say there's no crime in the world
    that hasn't happened here at least once.
[10:35] Nick
    The Solar Knights don't come here, either.
[10:38] Nick
    It was safe to assume that the guild
    was right, and Hale was here.
[10:46] Nick
    First, we say hello to the gatekeep.
[10:49] Gatekeep
    Ain't seen you around here before.
[10:52] Gatekeep
    Bounty hunters?
[10:53] Nick
    Yeah, something like that.
[10:55] Nick
    We don't need escorts or a guide.
[10:58] Nick
    But I do want information.
[11:01] Gatekeep
    If it's about a bounty, go find it yourself.
[11:04] Nick
    Has anything unusual happened around
    here? Even something small.
[11:08] Gatekeep
    One of the whores got sick
    and died last weekend.
[11:13] Gatekeep
    Greg, our odd-jobs guy,
    had a dog that gave birth.
[11:16] Gatekeep
    Ten puppies. All males.
[11:19] Gatekeep
    Nobody's been dumb enough
[11:21] Gatekeep
    to let themselves get caught by a
    bounty hunter for three months.
[11:23] Gatekeep
    Oh, and Greg says new
    customers get 20 percent off.
[11:28] Kizuna
    That doesn't tell us much.
[11:31] Gatekeep
    Guess I can throw in the fact that
    a girl with a death wish came by.
[11:36] Kizuna
    What?
[11:38] Nick
    Thanks.
[11:40] Gatekeep
    If you die, make sure you die in a
    way that keeps it out of the news.
[11:46] Gatekeep
    Oh, one more thing.
[11:49] Gatekeep
    Don't get in Nalgava's
    way while he's working.
[11:52] Gatekeep
    That's a warning.
[11:55] Zem
    Nalgava?
[11:56] Nick
    Who's that?
[11:58] Gatekeep
    Someone important.
[12:05] Curran
    It stinks.
[12:07] Zem
    The air circulation and water quality
    aren't very good, after all.
[12:12] Nick
    There's all kinds of nasty
    little maggots here...
[12:19] Thug
    Hold it! This is a toll road.
[12:21] Thug
    Hand over your money—
[12:23] Nick
    We're looking for a man named Hale.
[12:26] Thug
    Hale, the former host and seducer?
[12:30] Thug
    He's in the Bedrooms.
[12:31] Nick
    The Bedrooms?
[12:34] Thug
    A building on the east side that
    was supposed to be an inn.
[12:35] Kizuna
    Schwing!
[12:38] Nick
    Thanks.
[12:41] Thug
    Then pay me for the info!
[12:44] Tiana
    You remember how you were just
    trying to steal from us?
[12:48] Zem
    You're going to die soon.
[12:52] Zem
    You're doing something you shouldn't be.
[12:54] Thug
    Nobody asked you.
[12:58] Zem
    Does it make you feel happy? Depressed?
[13:00] Thug
    What's your problem?
[13:02] Zem
    Just answer the question.
[13:05] Thug
    I can't sleep!
[13:07] Thug
    I'm not allowed to have
    some fun when I sleep?
[13:10] Thug
    I can't live a normal life here!
[13:13] Thug
    This wasn't supposed to be my life!
[13:16] Thug
    You wouldn't understand!
[13:18] Curran
    That's not true.
[13:22] Curran
    That's not true.
[13:25] Curran
    I understand. I think.
[13:31] Zem
    This herb has calming properties.
[13:34] Zem
    This can be your fee for that information.
[13:37] Zem
    It's not a strong medicine,
    but it will have to do.
[13:40] Zem
    Don't rely on what you've
    been taking until now.
[13:44] Thug
    W-Wait!
[13:47] Thug
    Hale's a fast runner.
[13:49] Thug
    If he sees you coming, he'll be
    gone in the blink of an eye.
[13:52] Zem
    Thanks. We'll be careful.
[13:57] Kizuna
    So this is the Bedrooms.
[13:59] Nick
    If Hale gets even the slightest
    bit suspicious, he'll bolt.
[14:02] Curran
    We'll have to be careful.
[14:16] Nick
    You okay?
[14:19] Zem
    I'm sorry.
[14:20] Zem
    The conditions here are so bad,
    it's no wonder people are getting sick.
[14:25] Zem
    There's no hope.
[14:28] Zem
    If anything, this is where
    you'd need a temple...
[14:35] Nick
    Find him?
[14:36] Kizuna
    Yeah, he's here...
[14:40] Nick
    What? That doesn't tell me much.
[14:43] Kizuna
    He's busy, from the look of it.
[14:48] Hale
    Wh-Who the hell are you?
[14:50] Nick
    Most people with a bounty on their
    head are a little more careful.
[14:52] Hale
    Stay out!
[14:54] Curran
    An easy 300,000!
[14:57] Hale
    What do you mean, 300,000?
[14:59] Nick
    The bounty on you.
[15:01] Hale
    That's way too much money!
[15:04] Hale
    I just hit, kicked, sold into
    slavery, and conned people!
[15:07] Nick
    And murder?
[15:09] Hale
    I didn't do it!
[15:15] Nick
    Well, you can tell the guild all about it.
[15:19] Nalgava
    You.
[15:21] Nalgava
    What are you doing to my patient?
[15:23] Hale
    Dr. Nalgava!
[15:24] Hale
    Help me!
[15:26] Nick
    Nalgava?
[15:29] Nick
    That's him?
[15:32] Nalgava
    Who are you?
[15:34] Nalgava
    You don't look like amateurs.
[15:36] Nick
    And you?
[15:37] Nick
    You don't look like the usual priest.
[15:41] Nalgava
    The Bedrooms are a neutral zone.
[15:43] Nalgava
    The deal says you don't interfere
    when I'm treating patients.
[15:46] Nick
    Wait. We're not from here.
[15:50] Nick
    We just came to capture a bounty.
[15:54] Nalgava
    What did Hale do?
[15:55] Nick
    Most everything except murder.
[15:58] Nalgava
    What?
[16:00] Nalgava
    Fool.
[16:02] Nalgava
    I can cure wounds and disease,
    but I can't remove your guilt.
[16:07] Nalgava
    If he's done evil, then I
    have no reason to stop you.
[16:11] Nalgava
    Take him.
[16:12] Hale
    No, Doctor! Do something!
[16:16] Nalgava
    He has the Yellow Demon Sickness.
[16:19] Nalgava
    If he's not coming back for a long time,
[16:22] Nalgava
    I'd like to at least treat
    him before he goes.
[16:24] Nick
    You're sure?
[16:26] Nick
    If we take him, your treatment
    might go to waste.
[16:31] Nalgava
    Kid, that's...
[16:32] Zem
    Nick, that's incorrect.
[16:36] Zem
    Depending on what he's done,
    he may get the death penalty.
[16:39] Hale
    Hey! Don't even say that!
[16:40] Zem
    But our job is to do the best
    we can at any given moment.
[16:46] Zem
    It may even turn out that he didn't
    do anything he's accused of.
[16:51] Zem
    And it's also possible he
    may lead a peaceful life,
[16:54] Zem
    and die a peaceful death, in prison.
[16:56] Hale
    Quiet! Shut up and take
    me away already, asshole!
[16:59] Nalgava
    You're a priest, then?
[17:01] Zem
    Yes. Former priest, just like you, though...
[17:07] Zem
    If I may ask, why are you here?
[17:10] Zem
    If you're talented enough to
    identify Yellow Demon Sickness,
[17:13] Zem
    you could work anywhere you like.
[17:16] Nalgava
    Then what about you?
[17:19] Nalgava
    Do you want to go back to being a priest?
[17:21] Zem
    Yes.
[17:23] Zem
    I'm sick of it all.
[17:27] Kizuna
    By the way, Nalgava.
[17:30] Kizuna
    Stepping Man.
[17:33] Kizuna
    Have you heard of him?
[17:35] Tiana
    Of course he hasn't!
[17:38] Kizuna
    A black shadow that stalks in the
    night and kidnaps children...
[17:43] Nalgava
    I'm afraid I haven't.
[17:47] Hale
    A kidnapper? This place is filled with 'em!
[17:51] Hale
    Who cares about one kidnapper?
[17:53] Nalgava
    Hey. He seems genuinely concerned.
[17:56] Nalgava
    If you know something...
[17:58] Hale
    Oh!
[17:59] Hale
    Well, I don't know if they're a kidnapper,
[18:02] Hale
    but I did see this weird reporter going
    around and giving kids candy to talk to them.
[18:06] Nick
    Weird reporter?
[18:09] Jun
    You pulled it off.
[18:11] Jun
    You found him in a single day. Nice.
[18:14] Bounty Hunter 1
    I-I can't believe it!
[18:16] Bounty Hunter 2
    They really found him!
[18:19] Tiana
    Now, how much did you all bet?
[18:24] Ash
    Right now, I've got about 800,000 dinah...
[18:26] Tiana
    That'll do.
[18:28] Ash
    W-Wait!
[18:29] Ash
    Some of that goes to the ones who
    bet on you! You can't take it all!
[18:33] Tiana
    Use this money to buy every
    bottle of alcohol you can find!
[18:36] Tiana
    Drinks on the house for everyone!
[18:40] Bounty Hunters
    Nice thinking, missy!
[18:43] Bounty Hunter 3
    Hey, I bet on you!
[18:46] Tiana
    You were gonna blow it on booze anyway!
[18:48] Tiana
    Or are you too good to
    drink what I offer you?
[18:51] Bounty Hunters
    She's got you there!
[18:53] Bounty Hunters
    Oh, fine.
[18:58] Ash
    Sorry...
[19:02] Jun
    Ow...
[19:05] Jun
    Thanks for the booze last night.
[19:09] Jun
    Here's the money for Hale, and...
[19:11] Jun
    you wanted the stuff on Stepping Man, right?
[19:14] Nick
    Let's see...
[19:16] Nick
    "Burn green wood in your house and
    the smoke will keep him away."
[19:20] Tiana
    "He knocked a hole in my roof,
    but fixed my gutters. Nice guy."
[19:25] Curran
    "I stayed up late at night to summon him,
    and he told me to go to bed.
[19:30] Curran
    I'm sorry."
[19:32] Kizuna
    Nothing but weird rumors
    and mistaken identity.
[19:35] Jun
    Personally, I'd rather you
    went after normal bounties
[19:39] Jun
    instead of chasing non-existent folklore.
[19:42] Jun
    Ow...
[19:43] Nick
    We're not interested in
    Stepping Man the urban legend, either.
[19:47] Nick
    We want to find the kidnapper
    that people call Stepping Man.
[19:53] Jun
    I don't know about kidnappers...
[19:56] Jun
    But if you're looking for a suspicious
    person who talks to kids,
[19:58] Jun
    you can find her over there.
[20:02] Zem
    A weird reporter going around
    and giving kids candy...
[20:05] Zem
    ...to talk to them?
[20:09] Nick
    No way.
[20:11] Kizuna
    She's definitely the reporter
    giving kids candy, but...
[20:16] Nick
    If only you remembered more
    about what they looked like...
[20:20] Kizuna
    I just remember that they were fast
    on their feet, and used chains...
[20:25] Tiana
    Chains?
[20:28] Curran
    She was weirdly heavy.
[20:32] Curran
    If she had chains wrapped around her body...
[20:35] Curran
    That's silly.
[20:37] Nick
    No way!
[20:41] Nick
    Curran, Tiana. Block the exits.
[20:45] Nick
    I'm sure I'm being overly cautious, but...
[20:48] Red
    Oh, Nick!
[20:49] Red
    She found us on our way back
    to visit Reina's mom...
[20:52] Nick
    So you give the kids candy and
    interview them, and then what?
[20:57] Olivia
    Then what?
[20:59] Olivia
    Oh, my! You look angry!
[21:02] Nick
    I don't know if being a reporter
    is a busy job or not.
[21:06] Olivia
    One minute you're sitting around waiting,
[21:08] Olivia
    and the next you're leaping around the city!
[21:11] Nick
    And from roof to roof?
[21:14] Nick
    For example, where were you two nights ago?
[21:18] Olivia
    Huh?
[21:19] Olivia
    Is this turning into an interrogation?
[21:21] Nick
    You can't answer?
[21:23] Olivia
    I can!
[21:24] Olivia
    Editing department! Bar!
    Turned in assignment! Ate!
[21:27] Olivia
    Article! Food!
[21:28] Olivia
    Kinda sucked! Was pretty good!
[21:30] Olivia
    Well, I may have explained
    them out of order,
[21:34] Olivia
    thus making two simple to understand events
[21:38] Olivia
    difficult to understand by
    discussing them in parallel.
[21:40] Olivia
    This is a sign of my powerful
    literary skills...
[21:41] Nick
    So, are you Stepping Man?
[21:45] Nick
    Where'd you take the kids?
[21:48] Nick
    Why do you kidnap them?
[21:50] Nick
    No, who even are you?
[21:54] Olivia
    Um... I'm not sure I understand
    what you're asking.
[22:14] Nick
    Seriously?

    You're paying for that.
[02:34] Nick
    I still can't believe we were right.
[02:36] Curran
    I've never seen anybody
    who can move like that.
[02:39] Zem
    She was just like the Stepping Man we saw.
[02:43] Kizuna
    I refuse to accept that
    was Stepping Man, though!
[02:47] Kizuna
    She was writing articles
    about herself? Nonsense!
[02:51] Red
    Sorry to interrupt.
[02:53] Red
    I've got a pretty girl who wants to see you.
    Not as pretty as me, of course.
[02:58] Zem
    That's something to look forward to.

    Mom!
[03:05] Ada
    You're the Survivors, right?
[03:08] Nick
    You're all healed up now, Ada?
[03:11] Ada
    I guess I'm famous and I didn't know it.
[03:15] Rose
    What, you know her?
[03:17] Nick
    The swashbuckler of the legendary
    A-Rank party Grandchef.
[03:21] Nick
    "Ada the Sommelier".
    She's been famous for ages.
[03:26] Ada
    There's a name I haven't heard in a while.
[03:29] Ada
    Yeah, I went on the Adventure of the
    Platinum Peach with Fifs and his gang.
[03:32] Curran
    Fifs? Fifs the Solo Eater?
[03:36] Ada
    I've heard he's S-Rank right now.
[03:38] Ada
    But back then, we were all young.
[03:43] Ada
    First, sorry for the trouble
    my daughter caused you.
[03:47] Reina
    I'm sorry!
[03:48] Ada
    She's too fearless for her own good.
    I don't know who she gets it from.
[03:53] Ada
    But she's done with Stepping Man.
[03:57] Zem
    That's right.
[03:58] Zem
    Don't do anything dangerous anymore.
[04:00] Reina
    But, Master...
[04:02] Ada
    Master? What's that about?
[04:05] Reina
    Mom, I want him to make me his student!
[04:08] Ada
    Listen, kid...
[04:10] Zem
    Reina, I want to make this clear right now.
[04:14] Zem
    To me, you're an enemy.
[04:19] Zem
    Maybe "enemy" is going too far.
[04:23] Zem
    But whenever I see a girl
    your age, I get so scared.
[04:32] Zem
    A long time ago, a certain girl deceived me.
[04:37] Zem
    And because of that, I spent years in jail.
[04:42] Zem
    When I got out, just the
    sight of a girl was enough
[04:46] Zem
    to make me freeze in terror, to the
    point where I could barely speak...
[04:53] Zem
    If it was just words,
    that would be one thing,
[04:56] Zem
    but, at times, I can barely breathe.
[05:00] Zem
    That goes for any girl
    your age. Not just you.
[05:05] Reina
    But you protected me!
[05:09] Zem
    That's...
[05:11] Zem
    That's just what anyone would have done
    if they saw a young child in danger.
[05:18] Zem
    But...
[05:21] Zem
    It surprised me.
[05:25] Zem
    It made me feel something akin to hope...
[05:31] Zem
    Hope that maybe I could move on,
    maybe I could get over this...
[05:39] Reina
    And that's why you said in fifteen years?
[05:41] Ada
    What are you talking about?
[05:43] Ada
    I won't let you marry her!
[05:45] Ada
    She ain't marrying no adventurer!
[05:47] Zem
    No, ma'am. It's nothing like that.
[05:50] Reina
    That's right, Mom!
[05:52] Reina
    He's my master, not my boyfriend!
[05:55] Reina
    If I was picking a boyfriend,
    I'd be more careful!
[05:58] Red
    Oh, my.
[06:00] Tiana
    She's smart for her age.
[06:04] Curran
    I think you just got rejected, Zem.
[06:07] Zem
    Fifteen years from now,
    she'd totally be my type...
[06:12] Ada
    As a former member of Grandchef...
[06:15] Ada
    Do you want me to slice you
    into finely fileted strips?
[06:17] Zem
    Please, no!
[06:24] Ada
    Okay, I think I see what's going on, now.
[06:26] Ada
    You really were there when
    she needed help, huh?
[06:29] Ada
    Let me thank you again.
[06:31] Ada
    But you need to give this up, too, Survivors.
[06:37] Ada
    Just forget this whole thing.
[06:39] Ada
    You understand, if you fought it, right?
[06:42] Ada
    We can't defeat it.
[06:46] Nick
    We don't have to take orders
    from you there, Ms. Grandchef.
[06:49] Nick
    If an adventurer wants to go
    after a bounty, he's free to.
[06:54] Ada
    You're not strong enough right now.
[06:56] Nick
    Of that I'm aware,
[06:58] Nick
    but I can't sit idly by and
    allow these kidnappings to happen.
[07:02] Ada
    That's the Solar Knights' job.
[07:05] Nick
    Yup.
[07:07] Nick
    But I don't like the way she's using an
    urban legend as cover to kidnap kids.
[07:14] Ada
    And I took advantage of that.
[07:18] Ada
    The Solar Knights are too busy to respond
    to every single kidnapping case.
[07:27] Ada
    So you decided to pretend the
    kidnapper was the Stepping Man,
[07:32] Ada
    use the bounty, and get the
    adventurers to go after him.
[07:40] Ada
    I'm out of this business, though.
[07:42] Ada
    I don't want her to do something dumb
    and get caught up something bad,
[07:48] Ada
    and I don't want to die and
    leave her without a mom.
[07:51] Red
    That's the right move.
[07:53] Nick
    You said we're not strong enough
    to win right now, right?
[07:56] Nick
    Then tell us how we can win.
[08:02] Ada
    Your leader bows his head and
    begs for help that easily?
[08:07] Zem
    Yes, actually.
[08:09] Tiana
    He decided it was the logical thing to do.

[08:18] Nick
    What is it?
[08:19] Curran
    This smell... this is glory mushroom soup?
[08:22] Zem
    Your sense of smell's amazing, Curran!
[08:26] Curran
    It's an expensive soup that never
    goes for less than 50,000 dinah!
[08:32] Nick
    It's good.
[08:33] Nick
    So what's this soup got
    to do with our victory?
[08:37] Nick
    It's not a good luck charm
    or anything, right?
[08:40] Ada
    These mushrooms will draw out
    your latent magical potential.
[08:45] Ada
    Fighting Stepping Man means
    a lot of jumping around
[08:47] Ada
    and switching between melee
    attacks and dodging.
[08:52] Ada
    What'll determine your victory
    is how you use your magic.
[08:56] Nick
    Magic, huh?
[08:58] Nick
    I don't think that's my thing...
[09:01] Tiana
    And I can't cast while in melee range...
[09:04] Zem
    We casters spend our time
    in the back, after all...
[09:07] Curran
    I'd like to try it, but I'm
    not good with complex stuff.
[09:11] Ada
    Oh, my.
    You Survivors sure are quick to give up.
[09:15] Kizuna
    I don't need advice.
[09:19] Ada
    Hold this in your hand and
    say this word in your mind:
[09:22] Ada
    "Burn".
[09:24] Tiana
    An Igniter?
[09:27] Ada
    Curran, right?
[09:28] Ada
    You first.
[09:29] Curran
    O-Okay...
[09:32] Curran
    Burn! Burn! Burn!
[09:36] Tiana
    Relax.
[09:39] Tiana
    Focus your mind on the area
    around your belly button.
[09:44] Curran
    It's not working!
[09:45] Curran
    I can't do this!
[09:47] Curran
    If I want fire, I can just breathe it!
[09:50] Ada
    You're having trouble focusing, aren't you?
[09:53] Ada
    Well, take your time.
[09:55] Ada
    Next.
[09:56] Nick
    I've never been a mage...
[10:05] Tiana
    You did it, Nick!
[10:07] Curran
    Wow!
[10:09] Red
    You're the best, Nick!
[10:12] Nick
    I'm surprised I could do that, sure.
[10:14] Nick
    But a flame that size won't even
    drive away one of the city's thugs.
[10:18] Ada
    I'm not telling you to fight with fire.
[10:21] Ada
    I just wanted to see your potential.
[10:23] Nick
    And? How'd I do?
[10:27] Ada
    Well...
[10:30] Ada
    Depends on how hard you train.
[10:35] Ada
    Stepping Man uses two enhancement spells:
    Light Body and Heavy Body.
[10:41] Ada
    Those of you who'll be fighting directly,
    start with Light Body.
[10:44] Ada
    Give me ten jumps.
[10:48] Nick
    If that's all...
[10:51] Nick
    One, two...
[10:54] Curran
    Three, four...
[10:57] Reina
    Five... wow!
[11:00] Red
    Seven...
[11:01] Nick
    Eight, nine—
[11:08] Nick
    N-Nine...
[11:13] Ada
    I thought you had the most potential, but...
[11:30] Kizuna
    If we know the hours you're out hunting,
[11:32] Kizuna
    and where you hunt, you're as good as ours.
[11:34] Zem
    Why always the same time, though?
[11:37] Nick
    Are you Olivia?
[11:45] Kizuna
    Wait!
[11:49] Nick
    Isn't he Olivia?
[11:52] Kizuna
    Attack magic, movement magic,
    and illusion magic at the same time.
[11:56] Kizuna
    Could any mage really do all that at once?
[12:00] Zem
    So one of them must be a magic item?
[12:03] Kizuna
    Yeah...
[12:05] Nick
    I know what's on the store shelves, but I
    don't know anything about rare artifacts.
[12:11] Tiana
    We know someone who does, though.
[12:20] Leon
    So? You didn't come all this
    way just to recommend me
[12:22] Leon
    the dragonian's favorite meat buns, right?
[12:26] Nick
    I want your help.
[12:29] Nick
    Do you know of any magic items that can
    hide your presence or disguise you?
[12:34] Leon
    That'd be...
[12:39] Leon
    the Illusion King's Jewel.
[12:42] Leon
    Or more specifically, a magic
    item that incorporates it.
[12:45] Nick
    That's awfully specific.
[12:49] Nick
    How do I deal with it?
[12:50] Leon
    Breaking the illusion isn't that hard.
[12:53] Leon
    The easiest way to shut it down for
    sure is to speak the user's name.
[13:00] (Flashback) Nick
    Are you Olivia?
[13:04] Leon
    You can't just say names randomly, though.
[13:07] Leon
    You're strengthening the idea in your
    mind that it has to be that person.
[13:12] Leon
    So if your mind's not
    certain, it won't work.
[13:15] Leon
    It's gotta be the first name you say.
[13:18] Nick
    It's not Olivia... then?
[13:35] Ada
    Come on! One more time!
[13:37] Ada
    No time to rest!
[13:39] Nick
    O-Okay!
[13:41] Nick
    It's been forever since I've
    had to train this hard.
[13:44] Nick
    It reminds me of the old days...
[13:53] (Flashback) Argas
    He who truly becomes a master of war can
    destroy a monster without any weapons.
[13:59] (Flashback) Argas
    First, focus on nothing but
    learning to improve yourself!
[14:13] (Flashback) Argas
    You can learn magic after that.
[14:16] (Flashback) Young Nick
    Y-Yes, sir!
[14:18] (Flashback) Argas
    You won't get that much taller.
    Your parents were short.
[14:23] (Flashback) Young Nick
    Yes, sir!
[14:24] (Flashback) Argas
    But being short isn't a weakness!
[14:26] (Flashback) Argas
    Find what you're good at and increase the
    number of things that make you strong!
[14:32] (Flashback) Young Nick
    Yes, sir!
[14:46] Tiana
    Are you about ready?
[14:49] Nick
    No. The magic spell ends
    if I'm not focusing.
[14:52] Nick
    It'd be hard to do a fight like this.
[14:57] Zem
    I used the files Ada had to
    go around and ask questions
[15:00] Zem
    about leaky roofs and people
    getting their roofs fixed.
[15:02] Nick
    I see!
[15:04] Nick
    He jumps from roof to roof.
[15:06] Nick
    If we look at where the damage
    is concentrated, then...
[15:09] Tiana
    Yup.
[15:10] Zem
    We can narrow it down.
[15:14] Nick
    This is...
[15:19] Nick
    Any new info?
[15:21] Gatekeep
    Two of Greg's puppies died.
[15:24] Gatekeep
    His 20 percent discount is over,
    'cause he figures it's bad luck.
[15:28] Gatekeep
    And somebody brought a child's
    body to the common graves.
[15:32] Gatekeep
    Nothing new.
[15:34] Tiana
    A child's body.
[15:37] Nick
    A boy? Or a girl?
[15:41] Gatekeep
    I don't remember.
[15:42] Gatekeep
    I don't remember if they had
    short hair or long hair, even.
[15:48] Gatekeep
    It happens all the time.
[15:52] Zem
    I don't like this.
[15:56] Kizuna
    Be careful.
[15:58] Zem
    Telepathy?
[16:00] Nick
    What is it?
[16:01] Kizuna
    We're being followed.
[16:04] Kizuna
    We could be attacked at any moment.
[16:15] Nick
    I just learned that stuff.
    Will it work on her?
[16:17] Kizuna
    Light Body!
[16:23] Olivia
    Light Body. I knew you were Stepping Man.
[16:27] Nick
    No, you're Stepping Man!
[16:35] Kizuna
    Parallel!
[16:37] Olivia
    No way!
[16:38] Olivia
    Parallel!
[16:40] Nick
    Seriously?
[16:43] Olivia
    I stopped your best move.
[16:47] Nick
    Be certain... and speak their name.
[16:51] Nick
    Olivia!
[16:52] Nick
    You're Olivia, right?
[17:00] Olivia
    Yes, I am Olivia!
[17:03] Olivia
    Oh, if it isn't Nick?
[17:05] Olivia
    It's me, Olivia!
[17:07] Olivia
    The Olivia you suspected
    of being Stepping Man!
[17:09] Olivia
    Not that I hold it against you
    or hate you for it, though!
[17:11] Olivia
    But, some nights, I did cry myself to sleep!
[17:13] Olivia
    Yes, it is I, Olivia!
[17:17] Nick
    Let's try and figure this out...
[17:19] Nick
    So, basically...
[17:21] Olivia
    You're Stepping Man, right, Nick?
[17:24] Nick
    Obviously, I'm not!
[17:25] Zem
    We were pretty sure you were
    actually Stepping Man...
[17:30] Olivia
    Well...
[17:32] Olivia
    Don't get too surprised.
[17:34] Olivia
    But not only am I a reporter,
    and an adventurer,
[17:38] Olivia
    I am also Stepping Man!
[17:40] Nick
    We know.
[17:41] Olivia
    Or actually, that's just
    what they used to call me.
[17:45] Zem
    What's going on?
[17:47] Tiana
    So you're Stepping Man, right?
[17:53] Olivia
    I'm not the Stepping Man everyone
    knows for being a kidnapper, though!
[17:58] Olivia
    Basically, Stepping Man
    is a name used to refer
[18:01] Olivia
    to every weirdo that jumps around
    the city's roofs at night!
[18:05] Curran
    So Olivia's true identity was "weirdo"?
[18:07] Tiana
    Well, we knew that a while ago.
[18:10] Kizuna
    I see.
[18:11] Kizuna
    I've never heard the
    "Multiple Stepping Men" theory before.
[18:15] Kizuna
    But...
[18:16] Nick
    If you'd answered us instead of running,
    we wouldn't have had to deal with this.
[18:19] Olivia
    Very true!
[18:20] Olivia
    I can't get anywhere near the guild or the
    editing department anymore because of that.
[18:26] Nick
    Oh, what was that thing you just did?
    I heard you say "Parallel".
[18:31] Olivia
    My...
[18:33] Olivia
    "Mysterious Boy? Girl? Discovered Who Uses
    Parallel, an Advanced Ancient Spell."
[18:38] Olivia
    Wouldn't that be a good article?
[18:41] Kizuna
    Then maybe I'll just submit
    an article to Lemuria Monthly
[18:45] Kizuna
    about how Stepping Man is
    actually a female reporter
[18:48] Kizuna
    and a witch who uses ancient magic!
[18:52] Olivia
    Remember that we're under no obligation to
    run every article that gets submitted...
[18:59] Kizuna
    Well, let's just forget it for now.
[19:02] Kizuna
    It feels like we're both
    after the same thing.
[19:05] Olivia
    Y-Yes.
[19:07] Olivia
    Let's do our best to capture
    Stepping Man together! Hip-hip hooray!
[19:12] Nick
    Is that really okay?
[19:30] Zem
    I don't see anything really unusual...
[19:33] Olivia
    Really?
[19:36] Olivia
    What does her face look like?
[19:39] Olivia
    Tell me specifics, as accurately as you can.
[19:43] Olivia
    What does her mouth look like?
    Is it big? Small?
[19:46] Olivia
    Is her nose pronounced? Or flat?
[19:48] Olivia
    Her eyes? Any freckles? Or scars?
[19:52] Nick
    I'm not sure what to say...
[19:55] Nick
    She's got eyes, a nose...
[19:59] Zem
    No, it's strange.
[20:03] Zem
    It's strange how nothing's strange.
[20:05] Olivia
    Yes.
[20:06] Olivia
    It's strange.
[20:07] Olivia
    Everything about it is strange.
[20:11] Olivia
    Our recognition abilities are
    being jammed on every level...
[20:15] Nick
    Which means...
[20:18] Kizuna
    Let's see what's beneath it.
[20:31] Zem
    What's this?
[20:32] Olivia
    A fragment of the Illusion
    King's Jewel, probably.
[20:37] Olivia
    Its jamming feature is small, but there.
[20:41] Kizuna
    And that's how they got past the
    Solar Knights' forensics team?
[20:46] Nick
    But why?
[20:59] Nick
    There's a burn mark on her arm...
[21:01] Zem
    It looks old.
[21:03] Curran
    There's a mole on her neck.
[21:08] Zem
    Signs of treatment for
    Yellow Demon Sickness.
[21:11] Olivia
    She's not a nameless corpse.
[21:15] Olivia
    She was precious to somebody.
    Somebody loved her.

[21:38] Tiana
    She had a habit of running away from home,

    and so her parents were slow

[21:43] Nick
    This is her.
[21:45] Zem
    Yes. The missing girl's body was
    found inside the Garbage Collection.
[21:52] Tiana
    So Stepping Man's there, too?
[21:55] Kizuna
    Or, at least, going in and out.
[21:59] Zem
    Let's return her to her parents.
[22:02] Zem
    And then we avenge her.
[22:04] Nick
    You figured out who Stepping Man is?

    Unfortunately, yes.

[00:13] Nick
    What's got you in such a hurry you can't
    even look at that beautiful moon?
[00:19] Nalgava
    Your Light Body is still undeveloped,
    but your martial arts are good.
[00:24] Nick
    Does that make me a Stepping Man, then?
[00:29] Nick
    There was one thing I was
    never able to figure out.
[00:33] Nick
    Why keep doing this, when it was obvious
    your modus operandi was known?
[00:37] Nick
    Your way of challenging the authorities?
[00:39] Nick
    Or...
[00:42] Nick
    Or did you just want to be caught?
[00:46] Nalgava
    You're a very curious young man.
[00:49] Nick
    I've figured out almost everything
    else about what's driving you!
[00:57] Nick
    The reason you kidnap kids!
[00:58] Nick
    The reason you're based out
    of the Garbage Collection.
[01:03] Nalgava
    But you're missing one critical piece.
[01:05] Nick
    I ain't, actually.
[01:12] Nick
    I was surprised when I heard somebody
[01:16] Nick
    was writing academic papers from the
    dump that is the Garbage Collection.
[01:20] Nick

[03:12] Nick
    How come an infectious disease like that
[03:14] Nick
    isn't spreading from the Garbage Collection
    to the rest of Labyrinth City?
[03:18] Nick
    Sure, that place isn't exactly clean,
[03:21] Nick
    but there shouldn't be that much
    of a gap in infection rates.
[03:25] Nick
    It feels like there's a human cause.
[03:30] Nick
    At least, that's our doctor's opinion.
[03:34] Nalgava
    That young man?
[03:36] Nick
    The Garbage Collection is your lab,
[03:38] Nick
    for you to devise a way to cure the illness.
[03:42] Nick
    You kidnap kids to give yourself
    more research samples.
[03:47] Nalgava
    Then there's nothing more to say.
[03:49] Nick
    You still want to fight?
[03:51] Nick
    Then, here I go!
[03:55] Nalgava
    You haven't figured it out?
[03:57] Nalgava
    I know your every move!
[04:01] Nick
    And I know yours, too!
[04:07] Nalgava
    Fool! If you put your full weight
    behind a strike up here...
[04:11] Nick
    That's why I did it!
[04:23] Nick
    We got lucky that your movement
    route is so precise.
[04:31] Nalgava
    So I'm trapped, then?
[04:36] Zem
    Nalgava.
[04:40] Zem
    Why did you spread a plague?
[04:45] Nalgava
    My daughter died of Yellow Demon Sickness.
[04:48] Zem
    I learned that when I did my research.
[04:51] Zem
    It was very sad.
[04:55] Zem
    Yellow Demon Sickness is primarily
    sexually transmitted.
[04:59] Zem
    Right now, most people think it's an STD.
[05:05] Zem
    One day, your daughter tried to help care
[05:07] Zem
    for an infected patient,
    and touched their blood.
[05:11] Zem
    She was probably trying to copy what
    she saw you do every day, as a doctor.
[05:15] Zem
    But the people around her
    didn't believe that.
[05:20] Nalgava
    They started spreading all kinds
    of rumors about how she got it...
[05:25] Nalgava
    Even after she was dead, they enjoyed it!
[05:29] Nalgava
    Why did my daughter have to die?!
[05:33] Nalgava
    Why did God take my daughter from me?!
[05:35] Nalgava
    Why?!
[05:38] Nalgava
    Why was it so sudden...?
[05:43] Nalgava
    I hoped if I could find a way
    to cure the disease that slew her,
[05:49] Nalgava
    at least her death wouldn't be in vain.
[05:51] Nalgava
    It would have meaning!
[05:53] Tiana
    And that's why...?
[05:55] Nick
    That doesn't make what you did right!
[05:59] Nalgava
    No matter how many random little
    kids die, I don't care.
[06:03] Zem
    Nalgava, as a fellow former priest,
[06:07] Zem
    I was so impressed by the
    way you lived your life.
[06:10] Zem
    I respected you.
[06:13] Zem
    So why...?
[06:15] Nalgava
    Is there anybody in the world who's
    exactly what they appear to be?
[06:21] Nalgava
    Everybody's got two sides,
    like a playing card.
[06:25] Nalgava
    They show whichever is more
    convenient for them at the time.
[06:29] Nalgava
    There is no fake side or true side.
[06:32] Nalgava
    Both of them are real.
    Both have responsibilities.
[06:37] Nalgava
    And I'm not going to run from
    either side's responsibilities.
[06:45] Zem
    Perhaps, if that's how you feel,
    there's nothing left for us to say.
[06:52] Zem
    But... but still I have
    to condemn what you did!
[07:03] Zem
    I saw the body of a young girl in
    the common grave the other day.
[07:08] Zem
    The one you tried to disguise
    with the Illusion King's Jewel.
[07:13] Zem
    Don't you remember?
[07:15] Zem
    The pretty girl with long
    blond hair, in her dress?
[07:21] Zem
    Or have you forgotten already?
[07:23] Zem
    Martha Canning! Age 10!
[07:25] Zem
    Before I came here, I gave her
    body back to her parents!
[07:28] Zem
    They were in tears at losing
    their daughter out of nowhere!
[07:32] Zem
    They asked why their daughter had to die!
[07:36] Zem
    And when they learned she was dead,
[07:40] Zem
    the other shopkeepers in the neighborhood,
    and the customers, were all crying!
[07:46] Zem
    There is no such thing as
    a "random little kid."
[07:49] Zem
    Even if you don't know who they are,
    someone out there cares for them!
[07:55] Zem
    It was the same for your
    daughter, wasn't it?
[08:01] Zem
    Maybe this is just a platitude that sounds
    good and doesn't mean a damn thing.
[08:07] Zem
    But even so... even if we're
    just "former" priests...
[08:14] Zem
    isn't that something that
    should matter to us?
[08:19] Nalgava
    I was...
[08:22] Nalgava
    I was a terrible priest.
[08:25] Nalgava
    I'm sorry, but I've never wanted to
    save someone, like you evidently did.
[08:30] Nalgava
    I met a high-ranking priest
    in my travels, by chance,
[08:35] Nalgava
    and I sucked up to him every way I
    could until he made me a priest.
[08:39] Nalgava
    I'm just a petty little man.
[08:43] Zem
    You're saving the people in the Bedrooms
    because you feel that way, though.
[08:48] Zem
    I'm sure they're all thankful to you for the
    extra time in their lives you gave them.
[08:56] Nalgava
    If they'd died, others might've lived.
[09:01] Zem
    Neither of us can know that.
[09:05] Zem
    That's what makes life interesting.
[09:08] Nalgava
    You switch what side you show
    every second, don't you?
[09:15] Zem
    Nalgava?
[09:17] Nalgava
    "All you have to do is stop me
    and it'll all be over"?
[09:21] Nalgava
    It's not that simple, and you know it.
[09:25] Zem
    You're absolutely right.
[09:27] Zem
    But still, we can only deal with things
    one at a time, as we encounter them.
[09:33] Nalgava
    You're so naive.
[09:35] Zem
    I know.
[09:37] Nalgava
    But there are some things
    that only the naive can see.
[09:46] Kizuna
    Oh, no!
[09:47] Kizuna
    Someone's inside!
[09:48] Kizuna
    Someone's coming!
[09:57] Zem
    Nalgava!
[10:01] White Mask
    The time for talking is over, Priest.
[10:09] Kizuna
    Conceptual Armor?
[10:12] Nalgava
    What are you doing here?
[10:15] White Mask
    Helping you...
[10:16] White Mask
    would've been my first preference,
[10:19] White Mask
    but I'm afraid I'm here to
    kill you before you can talk.
[10:23] Nalgava
    You didn't like that I smashed
    up an Illusion King's Jewel
[10:26] Nalgava
    that would've gotten 10 million
    dinah in an underworld auction?
[10:30] White Mask
    The idea of using it like that
    had never occurred to me,
[10:33] White Mask
    but I'll give it to you
    as a gift before you die.
[10:35] Nalgava
    Then, why?
[10:37] White Mask
    Why did you get careless
    with disguising yourself?
[10:39] White Mask
    So that you could entrust
    your hopes to them?
[10:42] Nalgava
    You think I'm a better
    person than I really am.
[10:44] Nalgava
    The horrible, awful things I've done...
[10:48] Zem
    Quick Heal.
[10:49] Nalgava
    I'm just paying the price for them.
[10:51] White Mask
    Stay out of this!
[10:53] White Mask
    He's going to die soon, anyway.
[10:55] White Mask
    Don't you think you're wasting your magic?
[10:58] White Mask
    And he's your enemy, right?
[11:00] White Mask
    Why not save your magic for yourself,
    since I'm about to kill you?
[11:06] White Mask
    Don't get me wrong.
[11:09] White Mask
    I'm here to kill you all
    before you talk, as well.

[11:25] Zem
    Quick Heal.
[11:28] Nalgava
    You're the one holding your party back.
[11:31] Zem
    But your wounds...
[11:34] Nalgava
    No, you've noticed, haven't you?
[11:37] Nalgava
    You've made this same choice
    in other places before.
[11:42] Nalgava
    Look.
[11:43] Nalgava
    You made the wrong choice about
    who, about what to prioritize,
[11:48] Nalgava
    and your comrades are taking
    damage they don't need to.
[11:51] Zem
    But...
[11:52] Nalgava
    Your kindness isn't kindness.
[11:56] Nalgava
    It's self-centeredness.
[11:59] Nalgava
    In just a few minutes, we'll all be dead.
[12:01] Nalgava
    Me, and all of you.
[12:04] Nalgava
    Because of your selfishness.
[12:08] Nick
    Zem! Union!
[12:09] Nick
    Can you do it?
[12:10] Zem

    one who can move right now!
[12:15] Zem
    B-But...
[12:17] Nick
    What's wrong?
[12:20] Zem
    Nick!
[12:22] Zem
    Again...
[12:23] Zem
    We lost another chance because of me...
[12:26] Zem
    What do I do?
[12:28] Zem
    What am I supposed to do now?
[12:31] Tiana
    Zem...
[12:32] Curran
    It's up to you now, Zem.
[12:35] Olivia
    Zem! Hello?
[12:37] Zem
    H-Hello?!
[12:39] Olivia
    Olivia's about to buy time with
    some
very interesting chatter.
[12:43] Olivia
    While that happens... I hope
    you'll make the right decision.
[12:47] Zem
    Please... Help us, Olivia!
[12:50] Olivia
    I copy!
[12:56] Olivia
    Thief of magic items,
    performer of weird rituals,
[13:00] Olivia
    provider of weapons to
    worshipers of the Demon God.
[13:03] Olivia
    "White Mask", was it?
[13:06] White Mask
    Who are you?
[13:09] Olivia
    Newspaper reporter, adventurer,
[13:11] Olivia
    and other things, as well.
[13:13] Olivia
    Olivia, a very pretty girl who
    just happened to be passing by.
[13:17] White Mask
    You know, they say knowledge kills.
[13:21] Olivia
    Who says that?
[13:24] White Mask
    I do!
[13:27] Olivia
    That's clever!
[13:30] Olivia
    You ever heard this phrase, then?
[13:34] Olivia
    "Fast as a speeding Olivia."
[13:39] Olivia
    And...
[13:46] White Mask
    Damn it!
[13:48] Olivia
    "Olivia is very cute!"
[13:51] White Mask
    You...
[13:53] Olivia
    Those are my sayings.
[13:55] Olivia
    Spread them to at least ten people in
    three days, or you'll have bad luck.
[14:00] Olivia
    That's an ancient civilization relic...
[14:03] Olivia
    My attacks aren't going to touch it.
[14:07] Nick
    Now, Zem!
[14:08] Zem
    Right!
[14:09] Nick/Zem
    Union!
[14:12] White Mask
    Union?
[14:14] White Mask
    Why would they have a lost magic?
[14:18] White Mask
    Is that the sacred blade that
    was never used in the last war?
[14:23] Nick/Zem
    You're something similar, aren't you?
[14:26] Sword of Bonds
    What? I'm a thousand times cooler than him!
[14:30] White Mask
    Fascinating.
[14:32] White Mask
    Dungeon Create! Great Red Spot!
[14:36] Nick/Zem
    Olivia!
[14:39] Olivia
    If I die, I'm coming back to haunt you!
[14:43] White Mask
    That area has increased temperature,
    gravity, and air pressure.
[14:49] White Mask
    How long can a normal human
    last in there, I wonder?
[14:54] Olivia
    How dare you do this to
    a normal pretty girl?
[14:57] Olivia
    I'll curse you! I'll curse you!
    I'll curse you! I'll curse you!
[15:01] Nick/Zem
    Olivia!
[15:02] Sword of Bonds
    Wait!
[15:03] Sword of Bonds
    If you rush in there, you'll get
    crushed the second you step inside!
[15:09] Sword of Bonds
    He's coming!
[15:13] Nick/Zem
    It's heavy!
[15:14] Sword of Bonds
    The sword's true weight is probably
    hidden in another dimension!
[15:18] Sword of Bonds
    It's a lot heavier than it looks!
[15:21] Nick/Zem
    I see.
[15:23] Nick/Zem
    Then, we'll...
[15:25] Nick/Zem
    beat him with speed!
[15:29] White Mask
    You can use Stepping, huh?
[15:33] White Mask
    No. Stepping can't do that...
[15:37] White Mask
    He's turning in mid-air?
[15:41] Olivia
    When I die, put a single flower and a
    single piece of candy on my grave...
[15:50] Olivia
    Farewell, everyone, farewell...
[15:53] Olivia
    Farewell.
[15:56] Olivia
    It got weaker?
[15:58] Olivia
    So he's the type who can only really
    concentrate on one thing at a time, huh?
[16:04] Olivia
    Turning Bad News!
[16:10] Olivia
    I was about to spend the rest of
    eternity haunting this place.
[16:16] White Mask
    It's like he's creating
    invisible steps in the air...
[16:19] White Mask
    I get it! He's deploying the
    Conceptual Armor in mid-air...
[16:22] Olivia
    Watch out! UFO Attack!
[16:27] Nick/Zem
    Olivia!
[16:29] White Mask
    Clever.
[16:31] White Mask
    But if you've only got
    a few movement patterns,
[16:34] White Mask
    I can aim for where you land!
[16:40] White Mask
    I've got you now.
[16:41] Nick/Zem
    That's my line!
[16:43] White Mask
    What?
[16:44] Kizuna
    This is the end for you!
[16:50] Olivia
    Bulls-eye.
[16:55] White Mask
    It's been a while since I've
    been in this much danger.
[16:59] White Mask
    I'll admit defeat.
[17:01] White Mask
    Farewell!
[17:17] Nick
    Ow...
[17:19] Nick
    Is everyone safe?
[17:22] Tiana
    I guess.
[17:24] Curran
    I'm alive.
[17:26] Kizuna
    That guy's crazy...
[17:32] Zem
    Nalgava!
[17:35] Nick
    Are you okay?!
[17:36] Curran
    Just wait! We'll get you free!
[17:38] Olivia
    No!
[17:40] Curran
    But he's not our enemy anymore, right?
[17:43] Zem
    That's not it, Curran.
[17:46] Zem
    I don't know how long we
    were unconscious, but...
[17:51] Zem
    "Crush syndrome."
[17:53] Nalgava
    If a human being is suddenly freed
    after being trapped for a long time,
[17:59] Nalgava
    their body goes into shock.
[18:01] Nalgava
    But either way, I won't last long.
[18:05] Curran
    No...
[18:08] Zem
    You...
[18:11] Nalgava
    They always did say
    "Physician, heal thyself."
[18:14] Nick
    Don't tell me...
[18:16] Zem
    Yellow Demon Sickness.
[18:19] Nalgava
    Leave me here.
[18:21] Nalgava
    There's no telling when
    this place will collapse.
[18:27] Kizuna
    Yeah. This place was old to begin with,
    and then there was that explosion.
[18:32] Kizuna
    It could collapse at any second.
[18:34] Curran
    W-We're going to leave him?
[18:38] Zem
    At least, let me ease your pain.
[18:44] Nalgava
    I feel so much better...
[18:46] Nalgava
    Like I'm in heaven.
[18:49] Zem
    You're worse at telling jokes than I am.
[18:56] Nick
    Let's hurry.
[19:01] Zem
    Nalgava...
[19:04] Zem
    You've given me courage.
[19:08] Zem
    I'm sad to lose you.
[19:15] Nalgava
    I know.
[19:16] Nalgava
    I'll tell my daughter about you...
[19:21] Nalgava
    She loved hearing stories about adventurers.
[19:27] Nick
    Zem.
[19:28] Curran
    Hurry, Zem!
[19:49] Zem
    Huh...? I thought I was used
    to people dying, but...
[19:56] Nick
    Don't say something so sad.
[19:59] Nick
    Don't say you're used to people dying.
[20:02] Curran
    That's right. You did great.
[20:06] Zem
    I did...?
[20:08] Curran
    I think, in the end... you saved him.
[20:15] Zem
    You really think?
[20:17] Zem
    When are people's sins
    forgiven, and by whom?
[20:23] Tiana
    Zem?
[20:24] Zem
    But...
[20:26] Zem
    Even if I know it's arrogant,
    I still can't help but hope
[20:30] Zem
    I did something for him in his last moments.
[20:34] Zem
    Huh?
[20:36] Zem
    I'm doing it again...
[20:39] Nick
    Anyway, the Stepping Man case is over.
[20:44] Tiana
    Yes.
[20:45] Curran
    Let's go tell Ada and her daughter.
[20:48] Zem
    Yeah.
[20:51] Kizuna
    That's one case down, at least.
[20:53] Kizuna
    The whole thing turned out to be no fun.
[20:56] Olivia
    One case down.
[20:59] Olivia
    But you can't relax yet.
[21:04] Olivia
    White Mask is still out there.
[21:06] Olivia
    And, of course, there are
    the ones controlling him.
[21:10] Olivia
    If he's been given permission
    to use Forbidden Weapons,
[21:13] Olivia
    there's no telling what they're plotting.
[21:17] Nick
    Forbidden Weapons?
[21:19] Nick
    Who are you, anyway?
[21:22] Nick
    The way you fought, the way you talked
    like you knew something we didn't...
[21:26] Nick
    Don't tell me you're "just a girl."
[21:29] Olivia
    Oh, you're going to ask about that?
[21:32] Tiana
    We've went through a life-and-death
    situation together.
[21:34] Tiana
    I think you can tell us who you are.
[21:37] Curran
    That's right.
[21:38] Curran
    If you're going to join the party, then I
    want you to tell us, even little by little.
[21:42] Zem
    True.
[21:44] Olivia
    Hm...
[21:47] Olivia
    Given that you can use Union, Kizuna,
    you must be the Sword of Bonds.
[21:52] Kizuna
    Indeed.
[21:56] Olivia
    I am...
[22:00] Olivia
    actually a newspaper reporter,
    an adventurer, Stepping Man, and...
[22:06] Olivia
    the Elemental-Class Anti-Demon God
    Combat Technician Training Program,

    After their battle with Stepping Man,
[00:06] Kizuna
    the Survivors spent a lot of time in bed.
[00:11] Kizuna
    In addition to the physical
    damage they'd taken,
[00:13] Kizuna
    they all had a lot on their minds, I'm sure.
[00:17] Kizuna
    Whenever they don't have something
    to occupy their minds,
[00:21] Kizuna
    humans start to think about things.
[00:23] Kizuna
    They think about the things they'd
    been too busy to think about.
[00:28] Kizuna
    The things they'd tried not to think about.

[00:48] (Flashback) Young Nick
    What city are we heading to next, Dad?
[00:52] (Flashback) Dad
    We're heading back to Labyrinth City
    for the first time in ages.
[00:55] (Flashback) Dad
    You remember Uncle Argas, right?
[00:58] (Flashback) Young Nick
    He gave me a pat on the head!
[01:00] (Flashback) Young Nick
    Do I get to see him again?
[01:06] (Flashback) Young Nick
    What is it, Dad?
[01:16] (Flashback) Mom
    Your mom and dad both love you very much.
[01:18] (Flashback) Young Nick
    Mom?
[01:23] (Flashback) Mom
    You saved us, Argas!
[01:26] (Flashback) Dad
    Wh-Why?
[02:19] (Flashback) Argas
    I'm sorry.
[02:24] (Flashback) Argas
    The Sticky Aqueducts.
[02:25] (Flashback) Argas
    The lowest ranked adventurers
    get their start here.
[02:29] (Flashback) Young Nick
    I'm an adventurer starting
    today, right, Mister Argas?
[02:33] (Flashback) Argas
    Yes. And now that you're an
    adventurer, it's just "Argas."
[02:37] (Flashback) Argas
    All adventurers are equal. Listen, Nick.
[02:41] (Flashback) Argas
    Adventurers have to trust each other!
[02:44] (Flashback) Young Nick
    It's chewing grass!
[02:46] (Flashback) Young Nick
    Is that grass yummy?
[02:48] (Flashback) Argas
    Just don't let your guard
    down, or you'll regret it.
[02:51] (Flashback) Young Nick
    I know that, Mister Argas!
[02:56] (Flashback) Argas
    That's what I meant by
    letting your guard down.
[03:10] Nick
    Part of the reason I became an
    adventurer was to make a living.
[03:13] Nick
    But the main reason was that I
    thought that if I had been stronger,
[03:16] Nick
    I could've helped fight
    alongside Mom and Dad.
[03:23] Nick
    When I joined Masters of War,
    Argas gave me a short sword.
[03:36] Nick
    What made me happier than
    anything was that he chose it
[03:39] Nick
    because he thought it would help me learn.
[03:44] Nick
    That's all in the past now.
[03:46] Nick
    I've absorbed the past
    and made it a part of me.
[03:51] Nick
    But, sometimes, I look back with regrets.
[03:55] Nick
    If I'd done something different that
    one time, or that other time...
[04:00] Nick
    If I'd given Argas a different answer,
    would I still be part of Masters of War?
[04:07] Nick
    If I hadn't run away then, would I have
    been able to die alongside my parents?
[04:14] Nick
    If I'd...
[04:44] Nick
    Agate?
[04:51] Nick
    What's Agate doing here?
[04:55] Nick
    And what does it mean for me that I can tell
    it's her just by seeing the back of her head?
[04:59] Agate
    This isn't good... It looks
    like it'll rain for a while.
[05:03] Nick
    Good timing.
[05:05] Nick
    I was wondering how I'd
    give this back to you.
[05:08] Agate
    This is my...
[05:17] Agate
    Which means you're, um...
[05:21] Agate
    You know, I never got your name.
[05:24] Nick
    I'm...
[05:26] Nick
    just a stray dog who loves idols.
[05:29] Agate
    You are?
[05:31] Agate
    Then... I'm Agate, and I'm just an idol.
[05:37] Agate
    It was raining that day, too, wasn't it?
[05:39] Nick
    Yeah...
[05:41] Agate
    You were out there in the
    rain without an umbrella,
[05:45] Agate
    so I couldn't help but talk to you.
[05:48] Agate
    I'm glad to find out you have a house!
[05:52] Agate
    Oh, you know, a girl from my agency...
[05:54] Nick
    Sorry, are you going to keep
    talking like this for a while?
[05:59] Agate
    Is it a bother?
[06:01] Nick
    No, it's not a bother, but...
[06:04] Agate
    Then let me talk a little more.
[06:07] Nick
    Okay.
[06:11] Agate
    Maybe that day was what saved me.
[06:16] Nick
    Did you say something?
[06:18] Agate
    No.
[06:19] Agate
    Mr. Stray Dog, do you sometimes hear things?
[06:24] Nick
    Quiet.
[06:32] Nick
    Hey.
[06:34] Nick
    Am I still holding onto this?
[06:37] Agate
    Until the rain stops.
[06:55] Zem
    That'll do.
[07:00] Patient
    Are you the one who killed Nalgava?
[07:07] Zem
    Yes.
[07:09] Zem
    That was me.
[07:10] Patient
    I knew it!
[07:12] Patient
    Which means I win!
[07:13] Patient
    I knew it! You killed him so
    you could take his place!
[07:18] Patient
    Ow...
[07:20] Zem
    You don't need to be making bets
    after breaking three ribs.
[07:23] Patient
    You don't get it, Doc.
[07:25] Patient
    If I'd lost, I was gonna lose another three!
[07:29] Zem
    Since you won, does that mean
    you get to grow three more?
[07:36] Patient
    That's impossible, duh.
[07:38] Patient
    Man, I'm a little worried about our new doc!
[07:44] Zem
    Medicine's a wonderful thing.
[07:46] Zem
    You can help others, even if only a little.
[07:50] Zem
    And while you're helping, you don't
    have to think about things.
[07:54] Zem
    Strangely, even after all
    the terrible things he did,
[08:00] Zem
    I can't bring myself to hate
    Stepping Man... Nalgava.
[08:05] Zem
    Maybe I took his place as a way to mourn
    him, or maybe I'm just doing it for myself.
[08:13] Zem
    Maybe they're the same thing, actually.
[08:16] Zem
    I just...
[08:18] Patient B
    Doctor...
[08:22] Patient B
    Thanks.
[08:31] Zem
    Of course.
[08:39] Tiana
    I keep waking up, again and again.
[08:56] Tiana
    Once again, the promise of some
    small salvation makes me suffer...
[09:02] Tiana
    But is that really true?
[09:04] Tiana
    Is life that cruel?
[09:08] Tiana
    Is there really no salvation
    in going forward every day,
[09:14] Tiana
    even if each day's progress
    is too small to see?

[09:21] Tiana
    Gambling's not supposed to be something
    you do unless you feel like you'll win.
[09:26] Tiana
    But even if I don't feel like coming,
    I still want my daily life back.
[09:30] Tiana
    So I'm spending my days imitating
    the life I had before.
[09:33] Tiana
    I'm a lucky girl, to be able to do that.
[09:37] Tiana
    I've got no problems with life right now.
[09:39] Tiana
    Right now, nobody's lying
    to me or trying to get me.
[09:46] Tiana
    Things are going well.
[09:48] Tiana
    How could I have a problem with this?
[09:50] Tiana
    Oh...
[09:53] Tiana
    I won.
[09:55] Tiana
    I keep winning and losing.
    I haven't made or lost money.
[10:00] Tiana
    But...
[10:02] Tiana
    I'm bored.
[10:10] Tiana
    It's good.
[10:12] Tiana
    I wonder if Curran would eat this.
[10:19] Curran
    Morning!
[10:21] All
    Morning!
[10:22] Nick
    Hey, it's been a while.
[10:25] Curran
    Guys...
[10:29] Curran
    H-Have you all been doing well?
[10:32] Tiana
    I guess.
[10:39] Kizuna
    You're still doing it?
[10:44] Zem
    We agreed to stay out of each
    other's private lives, right?
[10:47] Kizuna
    O-Oh, that's right.
[10:53] Tiana
    What happened with the
    Stepping Man incident was sad.
[10:58] Tiana
    But it ended the way it should have.
[11:01] Tiana
    We need to accept the life we have now,
    where we're not lacking for anything.
[11:08] Tiana
    But right now, everyone's a little distant.
[11:12] Tiana
    Everybody feels like they're struggling
    against something they can't quite figure out.
[11:29] Zem
    Survivors Law #1.
[11:33] Kizuna
    No interfering with other people's hobbies.
[11:37] Zem
    Nothing you say will make a difference.
[11:40] Kizuna
    If I wanted to, I could
    just take you and...
[11:46] Zem
    Very true.
[11:49] Kizuna
    If you want to be a doctor in
    a dangerous place like this...
[11:57] Kizuna
    You'll need my power.
[12:01] Kizuna
    Think of me as your bodyguard.
[12:04] Zem
    Thank you.
[12:08] Curran
    Morning!
[12:10] All
    Morning!
[12:11] Kizuna
    That's the latest edition
    of Lemuria Monthly!
[12:15] Tiana
    Olivia's still at it.
[12:17] Kizuna
    Let's see...
[12:18] Kizuna
    "Top 100 Weirdos of Labyrinth City."
[12:22] Curran
    Are you guys all...
[12:27] Curran
    Did you guys already eat?
[12:31] Nick
    Huh? Yeah...
[12:34] Zem
    I opted for the all-night package,
    so I ate a little at Red's place.
[12:38] Tiana
    I only ever have a smoke for breakfast.
[12:41] Curran
    I see.
[12:43] Curran
    Then maybe I'll go eat something.
[12:55] Curran
    Was everyone already able to forget?
[13:00] Curran
    I can't.
[13:03] Curran
    Calios... my old party leader...
[13:07] Curran
    The one I once swore loyalty to.

    I was deceived by him, abandoned...
    He stole everything I had.
[13:18] Curran
    Even if they lied to me, my days
    adventuring with White Heron were fun.
[13:24] Curran
    But... I'll never forgive Calios,
[13:26] Curran
    the man who stole the Dragon King's
    Jewel, the pride of my clan.
[13:30] Curran
    There hasn't been a single day
    where I've forgotten him.
[13:33] Shopkeep
    You're a Tigerian! You need to be careful!
[13:37] Tigerian Girl
    I didn't do anything, though!
[13:40] Shopkeep
    It's okay to be careless, occasionally.
    But it's not nice to lie.
[13:45] Tigerian
    But I really didn't...
[13:47] Curran
    "You look like you just came out
    of the backwoods,
[13:51] Curran
    but here in the Labyrinth City,
    we take these things seriously.
[13:56] Curran
    You can buy it for half price,
    or would you rather..."
[14:00] Shopkeep
    Y-You...
[14:02] Curran
    Want to see what happens if
    she scratches that pendant?
[14:13] Nick
    Curran.
[14:17] Curran
    Huh? What are you guys up to?
[14:20] Kizuna
    We heard they're preparing
    for the Summersleep Festival.
[14:23] Kizuna
    So we're off to take a look.
[14:25] Curran
    Summersleep Festival?
[14:27] Tiana
    That's right, the Summersleep Festival.
[14:30] Zem
    They say that around this time of year,
    the monsters all become calm.
[14:36] Curran
    Will there be good food?
[14:38] Tiana
    I'd guess so, yeah.
[14:41] Curran
    I can't wait!
[14:43] Curran
    Will the rage that was once
    so strong fade away some day?
[14:48] Curran
    If it does, is that a good
    thing or a bad thing?
[14:52] Curran
    I couldn't tell you.
[14:54] Curran
    The more you care about the present,
    the further away the past gets.
[14:59] Curran
    Maybe you're just supposed to care
    about the things that remain?
[15:03] Curran
    If that's true, then I only want
    the things I love to remain.
[15:11] Curran
    Dragonians are a proud race, with a destiny.
[15:15] Curran
    Their destiny is to serve the human who
    will become the hero, and save the world.
[15:20] Curran
    I'm a Dragonian. The daughter
    of the Tsubaki Clan leader.
[15:25] Curran
    Curran Tsubaki!
[15:27] Curran
    A proud Dragoon, protected by
    the grace of the Fire Dragon!
[15:32] Olivia
    Big news!
[15:34] Olivia
    Big news! Big news!
[15:38] Tiana
    Olivia?
[15:40] Olivia
    Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
[15:44] Olivia
    A special, extra issue of Lemuria Monthly!
[15:47] Nick
    What's this about, Olivia?
[15:49] Olivia
    Big news, everyone. Extremely big news.
[15:53] Zem
    Seems big, yeah.
[15:54] Olivia
    It certainly is!
[15:56] Kizuna
    What's going on?
[15:58] Olivia
    This is no time to stay calm!
[16:01] Olivia
    Get excited or I won't tell you.
[16:03] Kizuna
    Wh-Wh-What?!
[16:05] Kizuna
    Whatever in the world is happening?
[16:07] Olivia
    Great, that's perfect.
[16:09] Zem
    I don't like people who try to
    manipulate others' emotions.
[16:12] Olivia
    A shocking story is breaking
    even as we speak!
[16:16] Tiana
    What's this? "Legendary Dark Demon
    God on the Verge of Reviving"?
[16:22] Tiana
    "...Say Rumors"?
[16:23] Olivia
    Hey, don't steal my big reveal!
[16:26] Tiana
    You're the one who was
    flinging papers everywhere.
[16:29] Nick
    More fake news?
[16:31] Nick
    If you keep spreading lies,
    eventually nobody's going to believe you.
[16:35] Olivia
    But, this time, I've got verified sources.
[16:40] Kizuna
    What? Really?
[16:42] Olivia
    I can see Kizuna's smart enough
    to know what this means.
[16:44] Kizuna
    Right!
[16:45] Nick
    It means she's making stuff up.
[16:49] Olivia
    What if I said White Mask was involved?
[16:51] Nick
    Really?
[16:53] Olivia
    I don't know for sure yet...
[16:57] Olivia
    But what if I said I'd
    located the black market
[16:59] Olivia
    that was dealing in Illusion King's Jewels?
[17:02] Nick
    You did?
[17:03] Olivia
    Not yet.
[17:06] Olivia
    Ahem!
[17:07] Olivia
    I haven't found it yet, but my job's
    to take things that seem suspicious
[17:11] Olivia
    and combine them into a
    sensational news article.
[17:14] Zem
    It's not news if you make it up.
[17:16] Olivia
    Of course!
[17:18] Olivia
    Where there's smoke, there's fire!
[17:20] Olivia
    And if there's no fire, it's a
    gossip rag's job to start one!
[17:23] Tiana
    You realize you're saying
    you're a fraud, right?
[17:27] Olivia
    A fraud? No. A romanticist!
[17:30] Kizuna
    A romanticist!
[17:32] Oliva
    A romanticist, Kizuna!
[17:33] Kizuna
    A romanticist! How exciting!
[17:36] Curran
    Would they deal...
[17:39] Curran
    in a Dragon King's Jewel, too?
[17:41] Zem
    Curran...
[17:44] Curran
    To be honest, I don't think I
    should be obsessing over Calios.
[17:50] Curran
    But I don't know what I should do!
[17:55] Curran
    I'm having fun with all of you, but it
    feels like there's something I'm avoiding!
[18:03] Tiana
    Why not go for it?
[18:06] Tiana
    If you can't get over it,
    then go chasing after it.
[18:10] Tiana
    But, this time, you're not alone.
[18:14] Zem
    Yes.
[18:15] Zem
    Just make it a job,
    like we did with Stepping Man.
[18:21] Curran
    Nick...
[18:23] Nick
    It's fine by me.
[18:25] Nick
    We're the Survivors. We'll come
    back alive, no matter who we face.
[18:31] Olivia
    A connection between
    Nalgava and White Mask...
[18:34] Olivia
    We knew there had to be one.
[18:37] Olivia
    And we can guess at other connections...
    I've heard lots of rumors.
[18:41] Olivia
    Would a bad guy be connected to a good guy?
[18:44] Olivia
    No, he'd be connected to
    an even bigger bad guy.
[18:47] Olivia
    And if you keep following
    the chain of bad guys...
[18:49] Olivia
    eventually you'll find the biggest bad
    guy, and you can teach him a lesson!
[18:52] Kizuna
    That sounds fun.
[18:54] Nick
    I think she just manipulated him.
[18:56] Zem
    Let's give it a go!
[18:58] Tiana
    We can go catch all the bad guys!
[19:00] Nick
    Huh?
[19:00] Curran
    Nick, I want to do it too!
[19:02] Olivia
    Then we're all in agreement!
[19:04] Olivia
    Let's all go defeat the legendary
    dark Demon God! Hip, hip, hooray!
[19:07] All
    Hooray!
[19:09] Nick
    Well, sure. I guess.

[22:07] Kizuna
    I have a question for you.
[22:10] Olivia
    Anything.
[22:12] Kizuna
    We artifacts will probably outlive them.
[22:18] Kizuna
    From your perspective, as the "Sword of War"
    that trains mankind and helps them grow,
[22:24] Kizuna
    what do you think of the Survivors?
[22:28] Olivia
    They're all right, I suppose.
[22:30] Olivia
    I'd expect a little more ambition
[22:33] Olivia
    from the people who are going
    to slay the Demon God, though.
[22:36] Kizuna
    Oh? I thought you'd be harder on them.
[22:40] Olivia
    That wouldn't be fair, would it?
[22:43] Olivia
    They've only been around for 20
    or so years of their short lives.
[22:47] Olivia
    I'm amazed they've survived this long.
[22:49] Olivia
    Clap, clap, clap.
[22:51] Kizuna
    Well, they do call themselves the Survivors.
[22:54] Olivia
    And a bit of skepticism can
    save you a lot of trouble.
[22:59] Olivia
    It's their greatest weapon.
[23:01] Olivia
    And it's something you lose as you grow up.
[23:05] Kizuna
    Or it gets worse, and makes you stubborn.
[23:08] Olivia
    That's fine. A hard head's a weapon, too.
[23:11] Kizuna
    Agreed.
[23:12] Olivia
    Let them take their time.
[23:14] Olivia
    And maybe they will be able to
    defeat the Demon God in the end.
[23:21] Kizuna
    Maybe they will...
[23:24] Old Man Kizuna
    Right now, these adventurers
    can't save the world.
[23:29] Old Man Kizuna
    But someday, they will.
[23:33] Young/Old Kizuna
    But that won't happen for a long, long time!
