**[00:00] (Flashback) Albedo**
Lord Ains, I'm off to make the Re-Estize Kingdom
fully recognize the Sorcerer Kingdom.
**[00:07] (Flashback) Ains**
Yes.
**[00:08] (Flashback) Ains**
I'm sure the people of
Re-Estize will understand
**[00:09] (Flashback) Ains**
the power of the Sorcerer Kingdom just by
looking at the size of this diplomatic mission.
**[00:14] (Flashback) Ains**
Still, be careful.
**[00:16] (Flashback) Ains**
We still haven't come across the
people who brainwashed Shalltear.
**[00:20] (Flashback) Albedo**
Yes, I will be sure to hold the Ginnungagap
in my hands at all times.
**[00:25] (Flashback) Ains**
As long as you have that,
**[00:26] (Flashback) Ains**
you shouldn't be affected by the
brainwashing of another world item...
**[00:30] (Flashback) Ains**
This is your first time going out alone.
**[00:34] (Flashback) Ains**
Retreat immediately if you sense any danger.
**[00:38] (Flashback) Ains**
Do you have a teleportation item on you?
**[00:40] (Flashback) Ains**
There might be enemies that'll stop you
from teleporting when they attack.
**[00:43] (Flashback) Ains**
Have you thought of countermeasures?
**[00:46] (Flashback) Ains**
And...
**[00:48] (Flashback) Ains**
I guess that's enough nagging.
**[00:50] (Flashback) Ains**
Also, about Demiurge...
**[00:52] (Flashback) Ains**
Never mind. It's nothing.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Albedo**
Are you sure?
**[00:55] (Flashback) Ains**
Yeah.
**[00:57] Momonga**
*I want to know what Demiurge is thinking,*
**[00:59] Momonga**
* but it'd look bad for an overlord*
* to ask others to explain...*
**[01:04] (Flashback) Ains**
One last thing.
**[01:06] (Flashback) Ains**
They say it's easier to get sick
during the change of seasons.
**[01:09] (Flashback) Ains**
Even though you're immune
to all known illnesses,
**[01:12] (Flashback) Ains**
there could be an unknown disease in
this world that catches you unaware.
**[01:15] (Flashback) Ains**
Be careful.
**[01:16] (Flashback) Albedo**
Lord Ains! I know of an amazing
preventative for such things!
**[01:21] (Flashback) Ains**
Oh?
**[01:22] (Flashback) Albedo**
A kiss!
**[01:23] (Flashback) Ains**
A kiss?
**[01:24] (Flashback) Albedo**
Yes! A kiss reduces stress and revitalizes
the parasympathetic nervous system,
**[01:27] (Flashback) Albedo**
which in turn increases the
activity of the immune system.
**[01:30] (Flashback) Albedo**
In other words, a kiss can prevent illness!
**[01:33] (Flashback) Albedo**
So a kiss is best!
**[01:35] (Flashback) Ains**
Huh?!
**[01:46] (Flashback) Ains**
A kiss on the mouth seemed too much,
so one on the cheek will have to do.
**[01:51] (Flashback) Albedo**
I thought you'd completely
disregard my request!
**[01:54] (Flashback) Ains**
Huh? Wait, what?
**[02:00] (Flashback) Ains**
Albedo, don't cry.
**[02:10] (Flashback) Ains**
Albedo. Stop crying.
**[02:17] (Flashback) Ains**
Are you all right?
**[02:18] (Flashback) Albedo**
Yes, Lord Ains.
**[02:20] (Flashback) Albedo**
I'm sorry for showing such an
embarrassing side of myself.
**[02:24] (Flashback) Ains**
I see. Well, you should go now.
**[02:27] (Flashback) Albedo**
Understood, Lord Momonga!
**[02:36] (Flashback) Ains**
Forget everything you saw just now.
**[02:39] (Flashback) Lumiere**
Understood.

the Sorcerer Kingdom Ains Ooal Gown.

Raymond Zarg Laurenson
**[02:59] Raymond**
During the war on the Katze Plains
with the Baharuth Empire,
**[03:02] Raymond**
the army of the Re-Estize Kingdom suffered
a devastating attack from Ains Ooal Gown.
**[03:08] Raymond**
Gown has taken the fortress city
of E-Rantel from the kingdom
**[03:11] Raymond**
and proclaimed the founding of the
Sorcerer Kingdom Ains Ooal Gown.
**[03:14] Raymond**
Emperor Jircniv has announced
to neighboring countries
**[03:17] Raymond**
that the Empire acknowledges this claim.

Zinedine Delan Guelfi
**[03:42] Raymond**
The Black Scripture's Thousand Leagues
Astrologer observed the recent war.
**[03:48] Raymond**
However, the final report was delayed
due to various issues. My apologies.
**[03:53] Raymond**
The document in your hands contains the exact
words of the Thousand Leagues Astrologer.
**[04:00] Bernice**
Raymond. Is this true?
**[04:03] Raymond**
Yes. As long as everyone believes the
words of the Thousand Leagues Astrologer.
**[04:08] Zinedine**
No one at this table would doubt her words.
**[04:13] Zinedine**
However...
**[04:14] Maximilian**
The number of Death Knights...
**[04:16] Maximilian**
She reported over 500 undead estimated
to surpass the difficulty of 100?
**[04:20] Yvon**
Perhaps he used illusion magic?
**[04:22] Raymond**
The Thousand Leagues Astrologer
would not make such a mistake.
**[04:25] Raymond**
She has also confirmed the presence of
**[04:27] Raymond**
Death Knights in the
Sorcerer Kingdom's capital city.
**[04:30] Dominic**
Then, what action can we
take to protect the people?
**[04:35] Yvon**
Perhaps the Black Scripture
could go against him.
**[04:40] Raymond**
Impossible.
**[04:41] Raymond**
As the former third seat
of the Black Scripture,
**[04:45] Raymond**
I say it's sheer madness to think a human
can go against a few hundred Death Knights.
**[04:50] Raymond**
But...
**[04:52] Raymond**
God-kin are a different story.
**[04:57] Raymond**
Two God-kin would be enough to fight
against an army of Death Knights.
**[05:05] Bernice**
That is reassuring.
**[05:10] Zinedine**
Raymond, what are you hiding?
**[05:13] Raymond**
What do you mean, Zinedine?
**[05:17] Zinedine**
There is one thing I'd like to ask.
**[05:19] Zinedine**
Why did the Thousand Leagues
Astrologer go into seclusion?
**[05:23] Zinedine**
Was she afraid of the large army of undead?
**[05:27] Zinedine**
No, she must have felt despair...
**[05:30] Zinedine**
She witnessed a power that
even God-kin cannot defeat.
**[05:34] Zinedine**
Is this truly her full report?
**[05:38] Raymond**
I was hoping to find a solution first, but...
**[05:42] Raymond**
This is everything that the
Thousand Leagues Astrologer has seen.
**[05:50] Maximilian**
I see.
**[05:53] Maximilian**
No one could easily believe
a sight like this.
**[05:57] Yvon**
I still don't want to believe it.
**[06:00] Yvon**
A single spell that can
kill over 130,000 people...
**[06:05] Zinedine**
This magic is in the realm of the gods.
**[06:07] Zinedine**
Was this spell eleventh-tier magic?
**[06:10] Zinedine**
If so...
**[06:11] Dominic**
The descent of a god?
**[06:13] Yvon**
Has the time finally come?
**[06:15] Maximilian**
It seems so. Has it been 200 years?
**[06:18] Bernice**
If the legends are true, that is.
**[06:21] Dominic**
But the national strength of the
Re-Estize Kingdom is far behind the others.
**[06:25] Zinedine**
Those fools.
**[06:28] Maximilian**
We gave them support and a large and
safe region for their development.
**[06:31] Maximilian**
All in hopes they would cultivate heroes to
fight against and invade other non-humans.
**[06:38] Yvon**
Who would have thought that their peace and
prosperity would cause rotting from within?
**[06:43] Dominic**
They even produced drugs and began
spreading them through the Empire.
**[06:47] Yvon**
Their level of incompetence is unsalvageable.
**[06:51] Maximilian**
We must change our plans.
**[06:53] Maximilian**
We'll have the Empire take over the Kingdom.
**[06:56] Bernice**
That seems to be the best course of action.
**[06:59] Raymond**
Let's return to the topic at hand.
**[07:01] Raymond**
The one who destroyed the
Sunlit Scripture sent to the Kingdom
**[07:04] Raymond**
must have been the Sorcerer King.
**[07:07] Bernice**
Could he be an ally of Honyopnyoko, the
vampire that the Black Scripture encountered?
**[07:13] Yvon**
They're both undead creatures, too.
**[07:15] Maximilian**
Jaldabaoth is another powerful monster
that wreaked havoc in the Kingdom
**[07:19] Maximilian**
around the same time.
**[07:21] Dominic**
Sorcerer King, Honyopnyoko, and Jaldabaoth...
**[07:25] Dominic**
Why did so many powerful inhuman monsters
appear in the Kingdom at the same time?
**[07:30] Maximilian**
It hardly seems a coincidence.
**[07:32] Maximilian**
Perhaps they are working together?
**[07:36] Yvon**
What about the adventurer, Momon?
**[07:38] Yvon**
Where did he come from?
**[07:40] Yvon**
He defeated the vampire and
fought against Jaldabaoth,
**[07:44] Yvon**
but became an ally of the Sorcerer King.
**[07:47] Dominic**
So maybe the vampire and Jaldabaoth
**[07:49] Dominic**
are a separate group from
the Sorcerer King and Momon.
**[07:52] Maximilian**
The worst case scenario would be
the four of them working together.
**[07:57] Raymond**
That scenario is highly unlikely.
**[07:59] Raymond**
Momon fought and destroyed the vampire.
**[08:02] Yvon**
Shouldn't we try to get the Sorcerer King
and Momon to turn against each other first?
**[08:09] Dominic**
We should avoid involving ourselves directly.
**[08:13] Raymond**
I agree.
**[08:15] Raymond**
We have suffered heavy losses.
**[08:19] Raymond**
When Windstrider betrayed us, we lost the
Crown of Wisdom and the shaman princess.
**[08:22] Raymond**
We also lost the Sunlit Scripture
to the Sorcerer King.
**[08:25] Raymond**
Though the Black Scripture managed to survive,
the loss of Kaire has greatly weakened it.
**[08:31] Zinedine**
There is no need to roast meat in front
of a sleeping dragon at a time like this.
**[08:36] Maximilian**
First, we should get in contact with
the Empire and gather some information.
**[08:41] Bernice**
I hope that Emperor isn't truly wagging
his tail for the Sorcerer King.
**[08:48] Jircniv**
Damn! You bastard!
Die! Die and rot away!
**[08:54] Jircniv**
No, he's an undead.
**[08:56] Jircniv**
Should I curse him to live?
**[09:00] Jircniv**
I've heard from a priest that you can
destroy the undead with holy magic.
**[09:08] Jircniv**
It's all that Sorcerer King's fault...
**[09:17] Jircniv**
Come in.
**[09:21] Secretary**
Your Highness.
**[09:22] Secretary**
This mountain of paperwork...
Is this all from the knights?
**[09:26] Jircniv**
Yeah. The elites of the
Empire all want to resign.
**[09:32] Jircniv**
It seems they've lost their will to fight
after the war on the Katze Plains,
**[09:35] Jircniv**
spending their sleepless
nights shaking in fear.
**[09:38] Secretary**
Would you like the secretaries to
handle this paperwork from now on?
**[09:43] Jircniv**
No.
**[09:45] Jircniv**
I'm the one who allowed the knights to
voice their opinions directly to me.
**[09:48] Jircniv**
I can't afford to lose
their support right now.
**[09:51] Jircniv**
What do you need?
**[09:53] Secretary**
Yes, the merchants you hoped
to hear from have contacted us.
**[09:57] Jircniv**
They have?!
**[09:59] Secretary**
They have some very valuable merchandise
**[10:01] Secretary**
and would like to have an
audience with you soon.
**[10:05] Jircniv**
Very valuable merchandise...
**[10:07] Jircniv**
*So the Slane Theocracy is also wary of*
**[10:10] Jircniv**
* the Sorcerer Kingdom and wants*
* to cooperate with the Empire.*
**[10:15] Jircniv**
* I'd have to ally with the Theocracy to*
* have any chance against Ains Ooal Gown.*
**[10:20] Jircniv**
* But it would be too dangerous*
* to invite their messenger here.*
**[10:23] Jircniv**
*These plans must be kept secret at all costs.*
**[10:30] Baziwood**
Your Highness,
**[10:31] Baziwood**
you will meet the adventurers from the
Silver Thread Bird in front of the colosseum?
**[10:35] Jircniv**
Yes.
**[10:36] Jircniv**
I'll have them guard our perimeter
while I speak with the merchants.
**[10:41] Jircniv**
I want them to prevent
any sort of eavesdropping,
**[10:43] Jircniv**
both physically and magically.
**[10:46] Nimble**
It's true that adamantite adventurers
are the strongest force of mankind.
**[10:50] Nimble**
But they cannot surpass mankind's limits.
**[10:54] Jircniv**
I heard that the Kingdom's adventurer, Momon,
protected the people from the Sorcerer King.
**[10:59] Jircniv**
The Silver Thread Bird are
also adamantite adventurers.
**[11:02] Jircniv**
I need them to pull this off.
**[11:04] Nimble**
Your Highness, please don't
make that kind of face.
**[11:08] Baziwood**
He's right. You should show your
usual confident expression.
**[11:13] Jircniv**
Sorry.
**[11:15] Jircniv**
Can I complain just a bit,
since we're alone here?
**[11:21] Jircniv**
Seriously, what should I do?
**[11:24] Jircniv**
Why'd a monster like that even appear?
**[11:27] Jircniv**
The knights can only tremble in fear
**[11:28] Jircniv**
and my strongest trump card,
Fluder, defected to that side!
**[11:32] Jircniv**
It's true that I asked him
to cast some magic for us.
**[11:35] Jircniv**
But that was because I needed
to know what he was capable of
**[11:38] Jircniv**
before considering any countermeasures!
**[11:40] Jircniv**
Is that my fault?!
**[11:42] Jircniv**
Is everything that goes wrong my fault?!
**[11:45] Jircniv**
Everyone is against me!
**[11:55] Jircniv**
But I don't plan to give up yet.
**[11:58] Jircniv**
There must be something we can do.
**[12:00] Nimble**
Your Highness, I was next to the
Sorcerer King in that battle.
**[12:06] Nimble**
He is not an entity that
man can hope to defeat.
**[12:09] Nimble**
Isn't going against the Sorcerer Kingdom
a foolish thing to do?
**[12:14] Jircniv**
You're absolutely right.
**[12:17] Jircniv**
But think about it.
**[12:19] Jircniv**
If Sorcerer King wishes to destroy the Empire,
**[12:22] Jircniv**
there is no guarantee of mercy,
even if we surrender willingly.
**[12:25] Nimble**
That's...
**[12:27] Jircniv**
That's why.
**[12:29] Jircniv**
* That's why I have to talk*
* with the Slane Theocracy.*
**[12:32] Jircniv**
*They have a longer history than our Empire.*
**[12:35] Jircniv**
* If they have some weapon or knowledge*
* that can give us an upper hand,*
**[12:39] Jircniv**
*I can still put up a fight.*
**[12:48] Freivalds**
It is an honor to meet you.
**[12:50] Freivalds**
We are the adamantite adventurer
team, Silver Thread Bird.
**[12:56] Jircniv**
I have heard a lot of stories about
the strongest team in our Empire.
**[13:01] Freivalds**
Thank you very much, Your Highness.
**[13:03] Freivalds**
I am the leader and bard
of our team, Freivalds.
**[13:07] Freivalds**
Allow me to introduce you to the others...
**[13:10] Soder**
Please don't sing, Leader.
**[13:12] Soder**
It gives me goosebumps.
**[13:15] Freivalds**
My apologies, Your Highness.
**[13:17] Freivalds**
This is the eyes and ears of our team, Soder.
**[13:22] Fan**
Fan Long.
**[13:24] Freivalds**
He is our warrior.
**[13:26] Freivalds**
And next is the one who heals our wounds...
**[13:31] Unkei**
I am called Unkei.
**[13:33] Jircniv**
I see. Then he must be Powapon.
**[13:36] Freivalds**
That is correct.
**[13:38] Freivalds**
We will protect you, Your Highness.
Please be at ease.
**[13:43] Jircniv**
I'm depending on all of you today.
**[13:51] Soder**
Your Highness, there are no magic items nearby.
**[13:54] Unkei**
I do not sense any active magic, either.
**[13:58] Jircniv**
Do you have countermeasures for
other kinds of eavesdropping?
**[14:01] Soder**
I think this is already more than enough.
**[14:06] Jircniv**
I see.
**[14:08] Jircniv**
Good job.
**[14:09] Jircniv**
I will begin a very important discussion now,
**[14:12] Jircniv**
and would like all of you
to stand guard outside.
**[14:15] Freivalds**
It would be extremely difficult to protect
Your Highness while standing outside...
**[14:20] Jircniv**
I understand your worries.
**[14:21] Jircniv**
But as the ruler of the Empire,
this point is not negotiable.
**[14:25] Freivalds**
It can't be helped.
**[14:26] Freivalds**
We'll stand guard outside, then.
**[14:29] Freivalds**
What kind of people will be visiting?
**[14:32] Jircniv**
The head priests of the fire and wind temples,
and four of their attendants.
**[14:38] Freivalds**
I see. May we break the lock of
the door as a safety measure?
**[14:43] Jircniv**
Do it if you think it's necessary.
**[14:51] Freivalds**
Oh, you can't destroy the door.
**[14:54] Fan**
Why?
**[14:55] Fan**
Wasn't the plan to break the door
instead of the lock on accident
**[15:00] Fan**
and end up joining them
in the meeting anyway?
**[15:04] Freivalds**
We won't do that this time.
**[15:06] Freivalds**
I don't want to get involved in
the muddy waters of politics.
**[15:10] Fan**
Got it.
**[15:13] Jircniv**
Should I drag all of you into
these muddy waters with me?
**[15:22] Jircniv**
As expected of adamantite adventurers...
**[15:29] Jircniv**
*After Fluder's betrayal,*
**[15:31] Jircniv**
* I no longer have anyone highly skilled*
* and knowledgeable by my side.*
**[15:35] Jircniv**
* Help from adventurers like the Silver Thread Bird*
* will continue to be an absolute necessity.*
**[15:42] Baziwood**
Things are getting exciting.
**[15:44] Baziwood**
I've heard that the Warrior King
will be making a rare appearance.
**[15:50] Jircniv**
What a peaceful scene.
**[15:52] Baziwood**
You think so?
**[15:54] Jircniv**
They don't know the situation
the Empire is in.
**[15:57] Jircniv**
They don't know that a monster
exists so close to them.
**[16:03] Nimble**
What is it?
**[16:04] Freivalds**
The priests have arrived.

**[16:19] Raymond**
Thank you very much for your invitation.
**[16:24] Jircniv**
Thank you for coming. Please come this way.
**[16:27] Jircniv**
The main match is about to begin.
**[16:37] Jircniv**
*A inquiry from the Theocracy.*
**[16:41] Jircniv**
* The fact that they handed me the letter*
* personally shows how cautious they are.*
**[16:47] Jircniv**
* Or shows how much they*
* don't trust the Empire.*
**[16:51] Announcer**
Even His Imperial Highness El Nix
is in attendance for this grand match!
**[16:56] Announcer**
Everyone, please take a look at the VIP room!
**[17:00] Jircniv**
Excuse me.
**[17:07] Announcer**
Thank you very much, Your Imperial Highness!
**[17:09] Announcer**
Now, everyone! We will begin
the Warrior King's match!
**[17:14] Bernice**
Warrior King?
**[17:16] Nimble**
The king of warriors. It's a title
given to the strongest swordsman.
**[17:21] Nimble**
The current eighth title holder is
considered the strongest in history.
**[17:24] Nimble**
To the point where there haven't
been many challengers lately.
**[17:27] Bernice**
Then who is fighting him today?
**[17:30] Jircniv**
The match was suddenly decided,
so even I don't know who it is.
**[17:35] Jircniv**
It seems they've kept it a secret
to garner more excitement as well.
**[17:38] Raymond**
The Warrior King is a war troll and
the strongest entity in the Empire.
**[17:42] Raymond**
Is it possible to get him
under the Empire's control?
**[17:47] Jircniv**
I'm surprised to hear that from you,
who thinks mankind is the chosen race.
**[17:52] Raymond**
Please consider it a personal opinion.
**[17:55] Raymond**
Enough talk. Please answer
the questions, Your Highness.
**[18:01] Jircniv**
Yes, of course.
**[18:02] Announcer**
Thank you all for waiting!
**[18:04] Announcer**
The challenger is about to enter the ring!
**[18:08] Announcer**
I'm sure everyone knows
the challenger's name.
**[18:12] Announcer**
King of the Sorcerer Kingdom,
His Majesty Ains Ooal Gown!
**[18:21] Jircniv**
Huh?!
**[18:26] Jircniv**
Ains Ooal Gown?
**[18:28] Jircniv**
N-No way.
**[18:31] Jircniv**
That's impossible.
**[18:36] Jircniv**
Wait. This is a trap!
**[18:38] Bernice**
The Sorcerer Kingdom's trap? Or...?
**[18:40] Jircniv**
No!
**[18:40] Bernice**
You decided on the meeting
place, Your Highness.
**[18:43] Jircniv**
That's true.
**[18:44] Jircniv**
But do you think I would be
in such a panic if I knew?!
**[18:48] Raymond**
You expect us to believe that?
**[18:51] Raymond**
You planned to force our involvement?
Or perhaps sell us out?
**[18:56] Jircniv**
No! This is a huge misunderstanding.
**[18:59] Jircniv**
*How did the information leak?*
**[19:01] Jircniv**
*Maybe he knew everything from the start?*
**[19:05] Jircniv**
* He scattered the bait and*
* waited for me to bite.*
**[19:08] Jircniv**
This is bad. I need to escape!
**[19:10] Ains**
Master Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix.
**[19:17] Ains**
Long time no see.
**[19:20] Jircniv**
L-Long time no see, Master Gown.
**[19:23] Jircniv**
I would have never expected to
see you in a place like this...
**[19:26] Ains**
I feel the same way.
**[19:28] Ains**
Coincidence is such a scary thing.
**[19:32] Jircniv**
*I'm sure of it.*
**[19:34] Jircniv**
*He's been in control of everything.*
**[19:36] Jircniv**
* He discovered my meeting with the Theocracy*
* and came to prevent our alliance!*
**[19:40] Jircniv**
* On top of that, he's managed*
* to pressure both countries...*
**[19:42] Ains**
Are these your acquaintances, Your Highness?
**[19:46] Jircniv**
*How nefarious!*
**[19:48] Jircniv**
*This is a test of loyalty.*
**[19:49] Jircniv**
*He wants to see if I'll protect the Theocracy*
**[19:51] Jircniv**
* or ally with the Sorcerer Kingdom*
* and sell them out!*
**[19:53] Raymond**
Excuse me. I should normally
introduce myself,
**[19:57] Raymond**
but a sudden emergency requires our leave.
**[20:01] Raymond**
Please ask His Highness
about us at a later time.
**[20:05] Ains**
I see. How unfortunate.
**[20:08] Ains**
I'm sure we'll meet again.
**[20:11] Ains**
Until then, I hope you stay in good health.
**[20:15] Ains**
What's wrong? El Nix...
**[20:17] Ains**
No, I should call you Master Jircniv.
**[20:19] Ains**
You seem a bit pale? Are you feeling unwell?
**[20:23] Jircniv**
No. I'm fine.
**[20:25] Ains**
I see. The body is a treasure.
**[20:27] Ains**
You have to take care of it.
**[20:29] Ains**
Well, I have a match to fight,
so I'll take my leave.
**[20:33] Wind Head Priest**
You tricked us.
**[20:34] Jircniv**
You're wrong!
**[20:36] Wind Head Priest**
How do you explain this, then?
**[20:37] Fire Head Priest**
What have you told him?
**[20:39] Fire Head Priest**
How much did you tell him
to protect your country?
**[20:42] Jircniv**
Please believe me.
**[20:44] Jircniv**
I really didn't give him any information!
**[20:47] Fire Head Priest**
How truly unfortunate,
Your Imperial Highness.
**[20:49] Jircniv**
Wait!
**[20:50] Jircniv**
Please tell me the temple's
opinion on the Sorcerer King!
**[20:56] Fire Head Priest**
The Sorcerer King is an evil undead.
**[20:59] Fire Head Priest**
It's unforgivable to accept
that creature as a king.
**[21:02] Fire Head Priest**
That is the reason we are currently
looking for a way to destroy him.
**[21:05] Wind Head Priest**
Sell us out if you must,
Your Imperial Highness.
**[21:08] Wind Head Priest**
You've already fallen to
the powerful demon's charm.
**[21:12] Jircniv**
His wisdom greatly surpasses my own.
**[21:14] Jircniv**
I'm sure that he planned for this result.
**[21:18] Jircniv**
I would be extremely suspicious of this
whole situation if I were in your shoes as well...
**[21:23] Jircniv**
Also, the Sorcerer King has
been a benevolent ruler.
**[21:26] Jircniv**
The people of E-Rantel are living in peace.
**[21:28] Wind Head Priest**
Who knows how long that will last?
**[21:32] Jircniv**
You may be right.
**[21:33] Jircniv**
But that is why I want to warn you
against any hasty actions.
**[21:37] Jircniv**
And lastly, I want you to watch him fight
from somewhere in the colosseum.
**[21:42] Jircniv**
Please tell me if you find
any way to defeat him.
**[21:46] Wind Head Priest**
May we meet again someday.
**[21:50] Announcer**
Thank you for waiting, everyone!
**[21:53] Announcer**
The strongest warrior in the Empire!
**[21:55] Announcer**
The hero of the colosseum!
**[21:58] Announcer**
Here comes the Warrior King!
**[22:01] Jircniv**
*I can't win against his cunning.*
**[22:05] Jircniv**
* I can only rely on the possibilities*
* of the human heart.*
**[22:12] Jircniv**
Warrior King! Try your best!
