[00:00] Sal
    --
[00:05] Sally
    Is it a rabbit? Yeah, not likely...
[00:08] Sally
    I've never seen anything quite like it.
[00:10] Sally
    Well, best to stay away from
    things you don't understand.
[00:14] Sally
    I'll just leave it there.
[00:21] Sally
    Fine, I get it! I get it!
[00:24] Sally
    Will a carrot do?
[00:30] Sally
    My name is Saltherine.
[00:32] Sally
    Just call me Sally.
[00:34] Sally
    I have a princess's order for you!
[00:36] Sally
    Well, technically,
    I'm not a princess anymore...
[00:40] Sally
    Do you speak human?
[00:42] Fra
    Some.
[00:44] Sal
    I'm going to ask you a few questions.
[00:46] Sal
    What's your name?
[00:48] Fra
    Frau!
[00:49] Sal
    Frau? Okay.
[00:50] Sal
    Are you a monster, Frau?
[00:54] Frau
    Not monster. Harefolk.
[00:56] Sal
    Harefolk?
[00:59] Sal
    Ah... So this is a demihuman.
[01:01] Sal
    I'd heard there were non-human
    beings on the outside...
[01:06] Sal
    That's an interesting outfit you're wearing.
[01:08] Frau
    Style!
[01:10] Sal
    Now, one last thing.
[01:18] Sal
    Have you seen this person?
[01:26] Frau
    No.
[01:27] Sal
    I see.
[01:30] Frau
    Carrot was delicious!
[01:33] Sal
    S-Sure...
[01:35] Frau
    Delicious carrot. Thanks.
[01:39] Sal
    Sure thing!
[01:41] Sal
    Well, Frau...
[01:43] Sal
    I've got to be going!
[01:45] Sal
    Take care of yourself this time, okay?
[01:50] Frau
    Follow!
[01:52] Frau
    Frau follows Sally!
[01:55] Sal
    Where did that come from?
[01:57] Frau
    Carrot debt!
[01:58] Sal
    Honestly, it's no big deal!
SIGN    The Ex-Princess and the Harefolk
[02:05] Sal
    It really followed me...
[02:07] Sal
    Don't you have somewhere else to be?
[02:09] Frau
    No!
[02:10] Sal
    That's no reason to follow me, though...
[02:14] Sal
    I wasn't trying to tame the strange thing...
[02:16] Frau
    Travel alone is dangerous!
[02:18] Sal
    Of course it is...
[02:21] Sal
    But travel with a demihuman
    might not be much better.
[02:25] Sal
    Well, all right.
[02:26] Sal
    You can stick with me as far as the village.
[02:38] Man
    Haven't seen you around!
[02:39] Man
    Are you a traveler, by chance?
[02:41] Sal
    Yes.
[02:41] Man
    I see. Welcome to—
[02:49] Man
    A demihuman!
[02:53] Sal
    I thought it might be conspicuous.
[02:55] Man
    Get out!
[02:57] Man
    We can't let a demihuman into the village!
[03:02] Sal
    H-Hang on, now!
[03:03] Sal
    It may look weird, but it's
    not hostile or anything!
[03:06] Man
    Don't let it deceive you, miss.
[03:09] Man
    Demihumans are our mortal enemies.
[03:11] Man
    Association with one is out of the question!
[03:14] Man
    Now, come with me.
[03:40] Sal
    We're leaving, Frau.
[03:42] Man
    No! Come with me!
[03:44] Frau
    Sally! Village is that way.
[03:45] Sal
    Just come along.
[03:47] Sal
    Princess's orders!
[03:53] Sal
    Okay.
[03:54] Sal
    There's nobody at the entrance.
[03:57] Sal
    Let's sneak inside quick!
[03:59] Frau
    Agreed.
[04:08] Sal
    See? We made it!
[04:10] Sal
    And once we reach the inn—
[04:11] Man
    Oh?
[04:13] ---
    Haven't seen you around.
[04:17] Man
    Are you a traveler, by chance?
[04:19] Sal
    Y-Yes.
[04:20] Sal
    I just got here, actually!
[04:22] Man
    I see.
[04:24] Man
    This may be a simple village...
[04:27] Man
    but I hope you enjoy your stay.
[04:29] Frau
    Carrots!
[04:31] Sal
    Wai— Frau!
[04:32] Frau
    Carrots!
[04:33] Sal
    Control yourself!
[04:36] Man
    If you don't mind my saying,
[04:38] Man
    you do appear hungry...
[04:39] Frau
    Hungry!
[04:41] Man
    You're welcome to stop by
    my mansion, if you wish.
[04:45] Man
    I'll treat you to dinner.
[04:51] Sal
    You're the local lord, then?
[04:54] Man
    Making travelers feel welcome
    is one of my duties.
[04:57] Man
    Anything I can provide, just say the word.
[05:00] Man
    Might I inquire as to your
    companion's whereabouts?
[05:02] Sal
    They were rather tired, I think...
[05:05] Sal
    They're resting in the room you prepared.
[05:10] Man
    That's a shame.
[05:11] Man
    I was hoping they'd join us for dinner.
[05:15] Sal
    I'm so sorry!
[05:16] Man
    Well, I only wish I could provide
    more than this peasant's feast.
[05:19] Man
    You must be tired from your journey.
[05:26] Man
    You can stay here as long as you like.
[05:30] Sal
    You've done so much already.
[05:31] Sal
    I don't know how to thank you.
[05:34] Man
    It's nothing, really.
[05:36] Man
    It wasn't until recently that we had
    the means to welcome travelers at all.
[05:39] Man
    Our region became overrun by monsters.
[05:45] Man
    They killed many of my people.
[05:48] Man
    It was a deeply trying time.
[05:53] Man
    But one day, a young traveler happened by
[05:56] Man
    who slew the monsters single-handedly.
[06:01] Sal
    Did that traveler have long
    black hair, by chance?
[06:04] Man
    Yes. A friend of yours, by chance?
[06:08] Sal
    It's Mikoto! It has to be!
[06:13] Sal
    Which way did the traveler go?
[06:15] Man
    I wish I knew, but I'm afraid I don't.
[06:20] Sal
    I see.
[06:21] Man
    Regardless...
[06:24] Man
    In our gratitude for that
    traveler's generous act,
[06:28] Man
    I think we'll welcome all
    travelers from now on.
[06:33] (Flashback) Fb
    Get out!
[06:36] (Flashback) Fb
    We can't let a demihuman into the village!
[06:42] Sal
    Demihumans...
[06:44] Sal
    You don't welcome demihumans, do you?
[06:45] Sal
    Even if they're travelers...
[06:51] Man
    No village could ever welcome demihumans.
[06:56] Man
    But it's an intriguing idea...
    a demihuman traveler!
[07:00] Sal
    Why not?
[07:04] Man
    I see...
[07:06] Man
    Perhaps you're too young to know.
[07:09] Man
    Demihumans are savage and stupid by birth.
[07:14] Man
    They're as bad as monsters,
    from a human perspective.
[07:17] Man
    Put simply, demihumans
    are our mortal enemies.
[07:26] Sal
    Frau doesn't seem so bad to me...
[07:36] Sal
    Forget it.
[07:39] Sal
    I said we'd stick together
    as far as the village.
[07:42] Sal
    So when it's time to leave,
[07:45] ---
    I'll just...
[07:54] Man
    A monster!
[07:55] Man
    There's a monster in town!
[07:58] Sal
    A monster?!
[07:59] Man
    Was there a survivor?
[08:01] Man
    It can't be!
[08:02] Man
    Look! It's got horns!
[08:04] Man
    That's no ordinary monster!
[08:05] Man
    That's an ogre!
[08:09] Man
    But it's alone, see?
[08:10] Man
    I'm sure someone can handle it...
[08:12] Man
    Are you stupid or something?
[08:14] Sal
    That's not a monster!
[08:17] Sal
    An ogre?
[08:25] Sal
    That feeling... It's happening again.
[08:29] Sal
    Just like before...
[08:32] Sal
    I feel...
[08:34] ---
    hot all over!
[08:35] Man
    Stop it! Get back!
[08:44] Sal
    What the...
[08:47] Sal
    Why am I...
[08:51] Sal
    I'm going to... die?
[09:17] Sal
    Thanks so much, Frau!
[09:20] Man
    A demihuman!
[09:22] Man
    It slew a monster barehanded...
[09:24] Man
    It's terrifying!
[09:25] Sal
    Hang on, now...
[09:28] Sal
    Frau just saved this village!
[09:31] Sal
    But just because they're a demihuman...
[09:33] Man
    The savagery sufficient to slay an ogre...
[09:36] Man
    Our fear of demihumans
    is thoroughly justified!
[09:39] Sal
    Your Lordship...
[09:43] Man
    Leave our village at once!
[09:47] Sal
    Frau?
[09:50] Man
    You're...
[09:56] Frau
    Carrots were tasty.
[09:58] Frau
    Thanks.
[10:04] Sal
    Princess's orders. We're leaving, Frau.
[10:07] Frau
    Agreed!
[10:08] Man
    Your Lordship! Are you just going
    to let the demihuman escape?
[10:11] Man
    It could come back and attack at any minute!
[10:17] Man
    It said... thank you.
[10:20] Man
    Your Lordship?
[10:24] Sal
    I hope you changed a few minds back there.
[10:28] Haw
    Hold it, you two!
[10:32] Haw
    I'm with the Knights of Rimdarl.
[10:35] Haw
    I have a few questions for you!

[10:54] Sal
    How'd we end up in this mess?
[10:57] Haw
    Sorry about that.
[10:59] Haw
    I thought the cell and the
    shackles were a bit much...
[11:02] Haw
    But you're hanging with a demihuman, y'know?
[11:04] Sal
    More demihuman hate...
[11:08] Haw
    Sorry for all the unpleasantries.
[11:14] Haw
    Come on out, now.
[11:22] Sal
    So you're...
[11:23] Haw
    Hawthorn Grattor,
[11:25] Haw
    regimental commander of the royal knights.
[11:28] Sal
    I'm Sally.
[11:30] Sal
    That there's Frau.
[11:32] Haw
    Still sore, are you?
[11:34] Sal
    You bet I am!
[11:35] Sal
    As if being a demihuman—or traveling with
    one—is any excuse for this treatment...
[11:40] Sal
    Is that the only reason you arrested us?
[11:44] Haw
    Not quite.
[11:48] Haw
    It's because it's a demihuman savage enough
[11:51] ---
    to slay an ogre barehanded.
[11:56] Sal
    You saw that?
[11:57] Haw
    I was on the road.
[11:59] Haw
    But a demihuman capable of fighting—
[12:03] Haw
    rather, of easily slaying an ogre—
[12:04] Haw
    was the last thing I expected to see.
[12:08] Sal
    Everyone sees demihumans as monsters.
[12:12] Haw
    You're not wrong about that.
[12:14] Haw
    I used to be the same way.
[12:16] Sal
    Used to?
[12:17] Haw
    I told you, I saw it.
[12:21] Haw
    I saw that thing fight to protect you,
[12:25] Haw
    and then bow in respect
    to the local big shot.
[12:31] Haw
    Fighting to protect another is
    a sign of a chivalrous heart.
[12:34] Haw
    Am I right, demihuman?
[12:36] Haw
    Or rather... Frau?
[12:47] Haw
    Now, let's get you out of here.
[12:49] Sal
    What? Already?
[12:51] Sal
    As easy as that?
[12:53] Haw
    Easy as that.
[12:55] Haw
    It was an unjust arrest
    of two innocent travelers.
[12:59] Haw
    The fault's entirely ours.
[13:01] Sal
    Hawthorn!
[13:03] Haw
    I'll take the heat if the hammer comes down.
[13:06] Haw
    You two rest easy.
[13:12] Frau
    Hungry.
[13:15] Haw
    Relief gets the appetite raging, huh?
[13:17] Sal
    I hear you, Frau!
[13:19] Sal
    We've certainly been put through
    the wringer, haven't we?
[13:24] Sal
    The unjust arrest of two
    good-hearted, innocent travelers,
[13:27] Sal
    who are on the verge of starvation after
    a brutal interrogation with no food or water!
[13:33] Haw
    Where'd you get this little improv routine?
[13:36] Sal
    You force us
[13:38] ---
    to demand food-related restitution!
[13:43] Haw
    H-Hang on!
[13:45] Haw
    You can't start making demands
    the minute you're safe!
[13:52] Haw
    Lunch only, you hear me?
[13:54] Haw
    Don't try fishing for a free dinner.
[13:56] Sal
    How come?
[13:58] Haw
    Give me a dang break.
[14:00] Haw
    You think us knights make
    feed-other-people-multiple-times kind of money?
[14:04] Man
    Come back and see us, Master Hawthorn!
[14:08] Man
    We just got a fresh catch in!
[14:20] Frau
    Sally?
[14:21] Haw
    I'll pass.
[14:22] Haw
    I'm not alone today.
[14:24] Boy
    It's Hawthorn!

[17:18] Sett
    There's defiance in your eyes.
[17:20] Haw
    Damn it!
[17:31] Sett
    A demihuman? How surprising!
[17:34] Haw
    That kick didn't even dent it!

    Run far!

    I can't just leave you!
[17:52] Haw
    Come on! We can't stay!
[17:54] Sal
    Hey! Hawthorn!
[17:57] Sett
    A demihuman in a human settlement...
[18:00] Sett
    That's surprising enough on its own.
[18:02] Sett
    But one this determined to assist them...
[18:05] Sett
    It's unprecedented!

[18:10] Frau
    Sally was not afraid of Frau.
[18:13] Frau
    Frau wants to remain with Sally.
[18:16] Frau
    So Frau protects Sally.
[18:18] Frau
    The end!
[18:21] Sett
    And that's enough to spur
    you to take me on, eh?
[18:25] Sett
    I like your spirit!

    Where'd Sally go?
[18:59] Sett
    Good attack.
[19:01] Sett
    But I didn't even feel it!
[19:04] Sett
    You've got speed, but you lack impact...
[19:14] Sett
    You hop around too willy-nilly.

    I've got you now!
[19:19] Sett
    This 'fight' is over.
[19:24] Sett
    I'm impressed. You're still defiant.
[19:27] Sett
    I almost hate to kill you!
[19:29] Sett
    How about this?
[19:30] Sett
    Abandon those humans and head for the hills.
[19:33] Sett
    I'll let you live.
[19:39] Frau
    Frau protects Sally.
[19:43] Frau
    No running.
[19:44] Sett
    I respect that.

    In that case...
[19:55] Sett
    As a show of my respect,

    I'll kill you with all I have!

    Sally...
[20:07] Frau
    Goodbye.
[20:11] Sal
    Don't give up, stupid!
[20:15] Sett
    Farewell to you, harefolk warrior!
[20:31] Sett
    How impressive...
[20:33] Sett
    A suicide attack from that position.
[20:36] Sett
    I did feel that one, lightly.

    But you're through now.
