**[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!
**[14:29] Boy**
What're you doing here?
**[14:31] Boy**
Is this your sweetheart?
**[14:34] Boy**
Awesome!
**[14:35] Boy**
Check out the knockers on her!
**[14:38] Sal**
No way!
**[14:39] Sal**
He's not my type one bit!
**[14:41] Haw**
Hey.
**[14:42] Frau**
Carrots!
**[14:46] Lady**
Welcome!
**[14:48] Saw**
Mr. Hawthorn, if you please?
**[14:50] Haw**
Yeah, yeah. It's all on my tab, right?
**[14:57] Meki**
An unsightly castle, don't you agree?
**[15:02] Sett**
A mere hut. I could topple it all by myself.

**[15:18] Meki**
Indeed.
**[15:19] Meki**
Let us make quick work of it!
**[15:32] Boy**
Wait up!
**[15:44] Sal**
What's that sound?
**[16:09] Sett**
Look at you, Meki! You look ridiculous!
**[16:11] Meki**
The use of my cannon causes me to shrink!
**[16:15] Meki**
I'll recover soon enough.
**[16:17] Meki**
Proceed without me!
**[16:18] Sett**
Yeah, I hear you.
**[16:24] Kni**
Halt!
**[16:28] Kni**
You're no mere monster, are you?
**[16:31] Kni**
I see that horn! You're an ogre!
**[16:33] Kni**
We do not abide the ingress of ogres to—
**[16:47] Sett**
Don't waste time prattling with an
enemy in your midst, foolish humans!
**[17:01] Sal**
*Ogre.*
**[17:08] Haw**
Sally!
**[17:09] Haw**
Hey, Sally!
**[17:10] Haw**
What are you doing?
**[17:11] Haw**
You have to go!
**[17:14] Haw**
Sally!
**[17:14] Haw**
Can't she hear me?
**[17:16] Sett**
Human.
**[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!
**[17:37] Frau**
Sally!
**[17:39] Sal**
What? What am I...
**[17:42] Haw**
You're back with us at last!
**[17:45] Frau**
Sally!
**[17:46] Frau**
Run fast!
**[17:49] Frau**
Run far!
**[17:51] Sal**
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!
**[18:08] Frau**
Carrot debt.
**[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!
**[18:28] Sett**
My name is Sett!
**[18:30] Sett**
Speak your name, harefolk!
**[18:33] Frau**
Frau!
**[18:36] Haw**
Get the citizens to safety!
**[18:37] Haw**
Hurry!
**[18:38] Kni**
Captain, the monster's still out there!
**[18:41] Haw**
I know.
**[18:43] Haw**
But evacuations come first.
**[18:45] Haw**
We can slay the monster when that's done.
**[18:47] Kni**
Sir!
**[18:51] Kni**
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.
**[19:18] Sett**
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.
**[19:48] Sett**
In that case...
**[19:55] Sett**
As a show of my respect,
**[19:57] Sett**
I'll kill you with all I have!
**[20:05] Frau**
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.
**[20:42] Sett**
But you're through now.
**[20:44] Sal**
Frau!
**[20:46] Sett**
I know you!
**[20:48] Sett**
You're the human the
harefolk wanted to protect.
**[20:52] Sett**
What excellent timing!
**[20:54] Sett**
I can send you to the grave together!
**[20:57] Frau**
Sally. Run... fast.
**[21:03] Frau**
Sally?
**[21:05] Sal**
*This feeling again.*
**[21:08] Sal**
*I feel hot all over.*
**[21:10] Sal**
*But I also...*
**[21:13] Miko**
Once upon a time, in a far away land,
**[21:17] Miko**
lived an old man and an old lady.
**[21:21] Sett**
Harefolk warrior Frau!
**[21:22] Miko**
The old man went to the mountains
to gather firewood.
**[21:24] Sett**
Human of appellation unknown!
**[21:25] Miko**
The old woman went to the
river to do the washing.
**[21:28] Miko**
You know the story.
**[21:29] Sett**
Farewell!
**[21:33] Miko**
At last, he'd defeated the ogre,
**[21:36] Miko**
but upon hearing there
were ogres in other lands,
**[21:40] Miko**
Peach Boy set out to cross the great sea...
**[21:46] Sett**
Wh-What?!
**[21:48] Miko**
