**[00:04] Kizuna**
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.
**[00:33] Nick**

**[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?*

* 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*

**[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.*
**[13:12] Curran**
* 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!
