[00:20] ---
    Oh, Death Knight.
[00:22] ---
    Summon Undead 6th.
[00:27] ---
    Submit to me.
[00:37] ---
    Submission is still impossible...
[00:42] ---
    If I could control this,
[00:44] ---
    I would surpass Rigrit Bers Caurau and
    become the most supreme of magic casters...
[00:51] ---
    Teacher, I believe you have already
    surpassed the power of the Thirteen Heroes.
[01:12] ---
    Anything?
[01:13] ---
    There has been nothing, Teacher.
[01:16] ---
    I see.
[01:17] ---
    We have yet to simulate
    a natural transformation.
[01:21] ---
    Yes. The current experiment is testing
[01:25] ---
    whether putting skeletons near corpses
    will turn them into zombies.
[01:36] ---
    "Baharuth Empire:
    Ministry of Magic"
[01:40] ---
    "Furthest Remote Tower"
[01:49] ---
    Lord Fluder.
[01:51] ---
    Adamantite-class adventurers
    wish to meet with you.
[01:56] ---
    Members of Silver Thread Bird?
[01:58] ---
    Or someone from Eight Ripples?
[02:01] ---
    No. They are two adventurers
    that call themselves Darkness.
[03:42] ---
    "Baharuth Empire:
    Imperial Capital Arwintar"
[03:42] ---
    The Empire is very vibrant.
[03:45] ---
    Is that so?
[03:48] ---
    The eyes of those walking by are bright.
[03:51] ---
    They are people who believe
    that they have a bright future ahead.
[03:56] ---
    A wonderful landscape.
[03:58] ---
    Emperor El Nix...
[04:00] ---
    Though he is known as the Bloody Emperor
    from all the bloodshed he has caused,
[04:04] ---
    his reforms have made a wonderful impact.
[04:07] ---
    According to Fluder, he removed
    all incapable nobles from power
[04:11] ---
    and values talent,
    no matter their social status.
[04:14] ---
    The country is avidly researching magic
    and improving their military.
[04:19] ---
    Look at those knights...
[04:22] ---
    Those kind of specialized soldiers are
    the framework of the Empire's military forces.
[04:28] ---
    Hey, that's...
[04:29] ---
    Adamantite adventurers...
[04:33] ---
    Though, they still seem quite weak.
[04:36] ---
    Indeed they are, in our eyes.
[04:38] ---
    But they are completely different than
    a country that drafts the average commoner.
[04:48] ---
    Now, then.
[04:50] ---
    Since we've come all this way,
    we should visit the adventurer's guild here.
[04:55] ---
    I hear it is not very active, but I'd like
    to do a simple job and sell my name.
[05:00] ---
    I hear that trashy Workers
    are more common here.
[05:05] ---
    More precisely, those who do not do their
    quests through the adventurer's guild.
[05:10] ---
    They aren't protected by the guild,
    but they are also not bound by guild rules.
[05:14] ---
    I am sure there is some merit
    for them to go against such rules...
[05:19] ---
    Goodness, why has it become like this?
[05:23] ---
    This plan will allow us to make
    the Great Tomb of Nazarick into a country
[05:28] ---
    and spread the name and power
    of Ains Ooal Gown throughout the world.
[05:34] ---
    This is indeed effective
    for our noble purpose.
[05:38] ---
    Thank you very much.
[05:40] ---
    Then, I would like to begin immediately.
[05:43] ---
    Yes.
[05:45] ---
    It really is an amazing plan.
[05:49] ---
    It would be difficult for me
    to prepare an alternative to it.
[05:52] ---
    And...
[05:54] ---
    The dice have already been thrown...
[05:59] ---
    The incident within the Kingdom
    has caused quite a few casualties.
[06:05] ---
    And the one who defeated
    the demon, Jaldabaoth,
[06:08] ---
    was an adamantite adventurer
    named Momon of Darkness.
[06:12] ---
    And, what happened to the demon?
[06:15] ---
    He escaped.
[06:17] ---
    The Kingdom has tightened
    their security in search for him,
[06:20] ---
    but there have been
    no sightings of the demon since.
[06:25] ---
    So that means the Kingdom
    is already in a state of exhaustion.
[06:29] ---
    Then, there may be no need to wage
    our annual war against them this year.
[06:35] ---
    We squeezed out a lot of information
    from their incapable nobles as well.
[06:42] ---
    My empire would never follow
    the footsteps of that foolish kingdom.
[06:47] ---
    I, Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix, command you,
[06:52] ---
    Imperial Court Wizard Fluder Paradyne.
[06:56] ---
    Yes.
[06:59] ---
    Investigate the demon Jaldabaoth immediately.
[07:03] ---
    As you wish.
[07:05] ---
    Momon of Darkness
    piques my interest as well...
[07:09] ---
    As well as Ains Ooal Gown, who saved
    the Head Warrior of the Kingdom...
[07:13] ---
    It seems some heroes have come out of hiding.
[07:18] ---
    Perhaps, a great battle,
[07:19] ---
    similar to the war against
    the Evil Deities 200 years ago,
[07:23] ---
    will occur once more.
[07:26] ---
    What would the Four Imperial Knights
    of the Empire do in such a situation?
[07:31] ---
    Well, that's pretty scary.
[07:31] ---
    "Four Imperial Knights:
    Baziwood of the Lightning Bolt"
[07:34] ---
    Well, I think the four of us together
    could do something about it.
[07:38] ---
    "Four Imperial Knights:
    Leinas of the Heavy Explosion"
[07:38] ---
    I will fight against those
    we have a chance of winning.
[07:40] ---
    I will run if we do not.
[07:43] ---
    "Four Imperial Knights:
    Nimble of the Fierce Gale"
[07:43] ---
    You two. We are currently
    in the presence of the Emperor.
[07:46] ---
    "Four Imperial Knights:
    Nazami the Impregnable"
[07:49] ---
    No matter.
[07:50] ---
    Be as you are.
[07:52] ---
    Fluder, continue your investigations on both
    Momon of Darkness and Ains Ooal Gown.
[07:59] ---
    I have some news regarding
    that investigation.
[08:04] ---
    Oh?
[08:09] ---
    It will take some time
    to rebuild the buildings and streets
[08:13] ---
    that were destroyed by Jaldabaoth.
[08:17] ---
    Brother, what has happened
    to the people taken away by the demons?
[08:22] ---
    We are looking into it.
[08:24] ---
    However, we have no idea
    how they were able to
[08:27] ---
    move nearly a hundred thousand people.
[08:29] ---
    I see...
[08:33] ---
    Father. Do not be discouraged.
[08:35] ---
    The people are praising our king
    for fighting against the demons
[08:39] ---
    and devoting themselves to the restoration.
[08:42] ---
    That was all thanks to the plans
    implemented by you and Renner.
[08:46] ---
    The magician's guild is currently
    searching for information
[08:50] ---
    on the magic item Jaldabaoth
    was searching for.
[08:53] ---
    We may be able to find
    him if we know his aim.
[08:57] ---
    Please wait!
[09:00] ---
    Good day, Father.
[09:03] ---
    Prince Barbro.
[09:04] ---
    Though you are his son,
[09:06] ---
    it is unforgivable to come into
    his presence without permission.
[09:09] ---
    Silence, commoner!
[09:12] ---
    As he says! I should have you imprisoned
    for offence against the state!
[09:17] ---
    Marquis Boullope, he is the Head Warrior
    of the Kingdom that protects me.
[09:23] ---
    He only spoke as his duty requires.
[09:26] ---
    Only nobles are allowed to become knights.
[09:29] ---
    Having someone of such low status
    beside you is dangerous.
[09:32] ---
    What business do you have with me?
[09:34] ---
    Why are you not
    gathering soldiers to E-Rantel?!
[09:38] ---
    That is because the Empire
    is not attacking, Brother.
[09:41] ---
    Normally, the Empire
    would attack us around harvest.
[09:46] ---
    They must be shifting the time of
    the attack so that we let down our guard.
[09:50] ---
    Father! I, Barbro, shall quell
    both the Empire and the demons!
[09:56] ---
    I can hardly expect my little brother
    to even swing a sword.
[10:18] ---
    You have improved, Brain.
[10:20] ---
    Saying that here makes it
    look like you're patronizing me.
[10:24] ---
    Sir Brain, are you hurt?
[10:27] ---
    I'm not that frail.
[10:30] ---
    Amazing! That was amazing!
[10:32] ---
    A truly magnificent match!
[10:35] ---
    In a few more years,
    who knows who would win...
[10:39] ---
    I have my guarding duties,
    so I will excuse myself now.
[10:45] ---
    What about you?
[10:47] ---
    This is my day off today. Off-duty, was it?
[10:51] ---
    Though, I never expected you to become
    a direct subordinate of Princess Renner.
[10:55] ---
    I'm the one who is most surprised.
[10:59] ---
    Well, guess I'll be heading off myself.
[11:02] ---
    Yeah.
[11:08] ---
    It feels like he's going
    to go off and disappear again...
[11:12] ---
    It'd be a great help if Brain
    would take this position after I retire.
[11:16] ---
    Though, I guess that will never happen.
[11:20] ---
    "Baharuth Empire:
    Singing Apple Pavilion"
[11:22] ---
    It's the truth, Rober.
[11:24] ---
    He was in full-plated black armor
    and carried two huge swords on his back.
[11:28] ---
    A skillful one, I'm sure!
[11:31] ---
    A mercenary?
[11:33] ---
    Either that, or a foreign adventurer.
[11:36] ---
    I know all the famous ones within the Empire,
[11:38] ---
    but I've never seen a
    warrior like that before.
[11:42] ---
    So he's not a Worker?
[11:45] ---
    Yeah. He has a different air than us.
[11:50] ---
    So, he has a real beauty by his side!
[11:53] ---
    She had long and narrow eyes and
    a cool expression. Straight black hair, too.
[11:57] ---
    So that was the main topic
    you wished to talk about.
[11:59] ---
    How is she compared to Miss Imina?
[12:04] ---
    To tell you the truth,
    that woman was more beautiful.
[12:08] ---
    To think that even you, who are
    head over heels for Imina, would say that...
[12:12] ---
    Don't tell her I said that!
    I'll buy you a drink.
[12:16] ---
    Hey, old man! Can you get this guy...
[12:17] ---
    Water.
[12:18] ---
    Oh, he was out shopping, wasn't he?
[12:25] ---
    I-Imina!
[12:27] ---
    --What?
    --Nothing. You're early...
[12:31] ---
    Oh. Sorry, Arche.
[12:34] ---
    It's fine.
[12:37] ---
    Well, let's start our Foresight meeting.
[12:41] ---
    This is a request from the Re-Estize Kingdom
    to explore a certain ancient tomb.
[12:47] ---
    In other words, they want us to
    sneak into another country and rob a grave.
[12:52] ---
    Right. It's a dirty job, fit for us Workers.
[12:56] ---
    So, Arche. Were you able to
    find out more about the client?
[13:00] ---
    Yes. The client is Count Femel,
[13:04] ---
    who is currently rumored to be
    losing favor with the Bloody Emperor.
[13:07] ---
    However, it seems he is
    not in trouble financially.
[13:12] ---
    So he has the money.
[13:14] ---
    The reward is 200 gold coins up front
    and 150 gold coins after.
[13:19] ---
    It's a rare contract that has both
    a high reward and high up-front pay.
[13:24] ---
    On top of that, we get bonus pay
    depending on what we find.
[13:28] ---
    He is hiring multiple teams, too.
[13:32] ---
    To top it all off,
    it is a newly discovered ruin.
[13:36] ---
    That's a surprise. I didn't think
    such a place could still exist.
[13:40] ---
    Did you confirm the details?
[13:43] ---
    It's true that I've never heard of
    a ruin in that area before.
[13:47] ---
    I wasn't able to confirm any history
    of a city or tomb in that area, either.
[13:52] ---
    There is a small village nearby.
    Should we ask the villagers?
[13:55] ---
    No. The client wants us
    to be as discreet as possible.
[14:01] ---
    Of course, if we move carelessly,
[14:03] ---
    we will invoke the wrath
    of the royal Vaiself family on us...
[14:07] ---
    In other words, a dirty job.
[14:11] ---
    So, should we take or leave this request?
[14:15] ---
    Roberdyck.
[14:16] ---
    I don't mind.
[14:18] ---
    Vice-leader?
[14:20] ---
    Why not? We haven't had
    a proper request like this in a while.
[14:24] ---
    I'm sick of hunting the undead
    in the Katze plains, myself.
[14:28] ---
    Then...
[14:29] ---
    If you are thinking of
    me, I'd like you to stop.
[14:34] ---
    Even if we don't take this job...
[14:36] ---
    Thinking of you?
[14:37] ---
    Not at all. Think about it,
    the rewards are huge! Right, Rober?
[14:43] ---
    Exactly so. There are treasures
    sleeping in an unexplored ruin.
[14:48] ---
    Right, Hekkeran?
[14:51] ---
    That's how it is, Arche.
[14:55] ---
    You have my thanks.
[14:59] ---
    Even so, the reward still wouldn't be
    enough to pay your parents' debt.
[15:05] ---
    No problem. If I can
    pay for some of it, they will wait.
[15:09] ---
    Should I say a thing or two to your dad?
[15:12] ---
    We should offer him the words of God.
[15:15] ---
    No, no. First, the fists of God.
[15:18] ---
    Wouldn't we have to open a hole in his ear,
    so he can hear our words, first?
[15:25] ---
    Please wait. My parents should
    start paying off this debt themselves.
[15:29] ---
    I will take my little sisters away from them.
[15:34] ---
    Miss Arche won't be able
    to do dangerous jobs any longer
[15:37] ---
    if she takes in her little sisters.
[15:39] ---
    She will retire as a Worker.
[15:41] ---
    What will she do about her livelihood?
[15:43] ---
    It'll be all right.
[15:45] ---
    She's a third-tier magic caster.
[15:48] ---
    She'll be able to get by
    while taking care of her little sisters.
[15:51] ---
    Then, we're the ones who are left in trouble.
[15:54] ---
    Yes. There aren't many people who can
[15:57] ---
    use third-tier magic that
    have that special talent.
[16:02] ---
    She has eyes that can see the tier
    and magic capacity of others.
[16:10] ---
    The same talent as Fluder Paradyne.
[16:16] ---
    Should we get a second-tier magic caster
    to join us and train them?
[16:20] ---
    Isn't that our very last option?
[16:24] ---
    But, it'll be too dangerous
    to work with just the three of us.
[16:27] ---
    Or should we go back to being adventurers?
[16:31] ---
    I am sick of following the will
    of the Temple so that I can save people.
[16:38] ---
    If it comes to that, I shall retire.
[16:41] ---
    Retire, huh?
[16:44] ---
    I would love a job that helps the weak.
[16:47] ---
    Perhaps as a field laborer
    in newly developing villages,
[16:50] ---
    while spreading the word of God.
[16:52] ---
    I wonder what I should do?
[16:55] ---
    Should you be deciding that on your own?
[16:59] ---
    Hey, now.
[17:03] ---
    What? Are you jealous?
[17:06] ---
    Oh. Uh, sure.
[17:08] ---
    Hey!
[17:09] ---
    When did you drink so much?!
[17:11] ---
    Hey! If you aren't clear about it,
    I'm going to bite you!
[17:18] ---
    Oh. Welcome home, Arche.
[17:21] ---
    Welcome home.
[17:23] ---
    What is that?
[17:24] ---
    This is something
    created by the artist, Jean Sharlu.
[17:28] ---
    That isn't something we had before!
    Why is something like that here?
[17:32] ---
    That's because I bought it this morning.
[17:36] ---
    I think it was 15 gold pieces?
    Don't you think that was cheap?
[17:40] ---
    Why did you buy it?
[17:42] ---
    Nobles are supposed to
    spend money on things such as this...
[17:45] ---
    We are no longer nobles!
[17:48] ---
    No! If that shitty Emperor dies,
    our family will return as nobles!
[17:54] ---
    We will not fall!
[17:56] ---
    As long as we continue to show our power,
    those fools will realize we will not give in!
[18:04] ---
    As I have said multiple times,
    you mustn't waste money.
[18:07] ---
    We should only spend what we must to live.
[18:11] ---
    This is a necessary expense!
[18:13] ---
    I will no longer put any
    money into the house.
[18:15] ---
    I will take my little sisters
    and we will live on our own!
[18:18] ---
    Who do you think has
    taken care of you until now?!
[18:22] ---
    I have already returned the favor.
[18:35] ---
    So hard!
[18:37] ---
    Where is Kuude?
[18:39] ---
    In our room!
[18:40] ---
    I see. I want to have a talk with you two.
[18:43] ---
    Let's go.
[18:45] ---
    Yes.
[18:49] ---
    Sister, your hands are so hard.
[18:55] ---
    But I love them!
[18:58] ---
    Thank you.
[19:09] ---
    This may be the last adventure of Foresight.
[19:20] ---
    My, my.
[19:22] ---
    Looks like all the famous Workers
    from the Empire are gathering!
[19:26] ---
    I applaud the deep pockets of the client!
[19:29] ---
    Stop saying stupid things.
    Look, the leaders are all gathering up.
[19:34] ---
    Right. Right.
[19:36] ---
    "Heavy Masher Gringham"
[19:36] ---
    As I predicted, you are here as well...
[19:40] ---
    Yeah.
[19:41] ---
    We've never met in person.
[19:43] ---
    "Heavenly Warrior Erya"
[19:43] ---
    Forsight. I have heard many things.
[19:47] ---
    You, too, Heavenly Warrior.
[19:49] ---
    Happy to work with
    someone whose swordsmanship
[19:52] ---
    is said to be equal to Gazef Stronoff.
[19:54] ---
    Thank you.
[19:56] ---
    However, soon it will be him
    who shall be compared to me, Erya Uzruth.
[20:04] ---
    Some bold words!
[20:06] ---
    Are those the members of Foresight?
[20:09] ---
    Oh? An elf. No, half-elf?
[20:14] ---
    Hey, now. Don't lay hands on my companions.
[20:17] ---
    Of course not.
    They are allies involved in this quest.
[20:22] ---
    I shall excuse myself now that
    we have finished our greetings.
[20:29] ---
    "Dragon Hunter Parpatra Ogrion"
[20:30] ---
    That one is a bit dangerous.
[20:33] ---
    You think so as well?
    Do you think he truly has the skills?
[20:39] ---
    I recently saw him at the colosseum.
[20:43] ---
    It is true that his skills
    are on par with the
[20:45] ---
    Kingdom's Head Warrior from a few years ago.
[20:51] ---
    Shitty bastard.
[20:54] ---
    Looks like only his sword skills
    are like the Kingdom's Head Warrior...
[20:58] ---
    Everyone, thank you very much
    for accepting my Count's request.
[21:05] ---
    Please come this way.
[21:08] ---
    Sleipnir?!
[21:10] ---
    Even grand nobles rarely have them!
[21:13] ---
    Please use this carriage.
[21:16] ---
    We have hired adventurers
    to guard the camp grounds.
[21:21] ---
    I understand that gold-plated adventurers
    are worthy of carrying our things.
[21:27] ---
    However, it would be troublesome if our camp
    was burned to the ground when we return.
[21:31] ---
    We are confident
    that there will be no problems.
[21:35] ---
    Mr. Momon.
[21:37] ---
    Let me introduce him. He is an
    adamantite adventurer, Momon of Darkness.
[21:42] ---
    His teammate, Miss Nabe.
[21:45] ---
    Hey, isn't that...
[21:47] ---
    Adamantite?
[21:49] ---
    I see that this is acceptable.
[21:52] ---
    I would like to ask one thing.
[21:54] ---
    Why do you head to the ruins?
[21:58] ---
    Compared to the adventurers
    that can hardly refuse when demanded,
[22:04] ---
    why did you Workers
    decide to take on this request?
[22:10] ---
    Money, of course.
[22:12] ---
    So you have been offered enough money
    to put your lives on the line?
[22:17] ---
    That's right. We have been offered
    an acceptable amount of money.
[22:22] ---
    I see. So, that is your choice.
[22:27] ---
    I understand.
[22:30] ---
    I asked a truly worthless question.
[22:34] ---
    Forgive me.
