[00:02] Inglis
    This intensity... It's just like Eris!
[00:05] Inglis
    She's a Hyral Menas!
[00:07] Hawker
    Get 'em!
[00:10] Inglis
    Truly fortune favors me, that a Hyral Menas should be among my opponents!
[00:15] Inglis
    Could there be any better way
    to test the fruits of my training?
[00:19] Inglis
    You're a Hyral Menas, right?
[00:22] Rani
    A Hyral Menas?
[00:24] Inglis
    Rani, protect Seilyn and the others.
[00:28] Inglis
    I'll handle her!
[00:30] Rani
    Y-Yeah...
[00:32] Rani
    You sure do look happy at times like these.
[00:35] Inglis
    Oh, you can tell?
[00:37] Rani
    You're grinning from ear to ear.
[00:39] Inglis
    A-Am I?
[00:41] Inglis
    Anyway, keep them all safe, okay?
[00:43] Rani
    Got it!
[00:45] Inglis
    I ask that you fight me instead.
[00:47] Sistia
    Is this some kind of joke?
[00:49] Sistia
    A weak girl like you
    stands no chance against me.
[00:55] Inglis
    Now, I'll just convert my aether to mana...
[00:59] Sistia
    What?

[02:34] Seilyn
    Impossible...
[02:35] Seilyn
    Inglis's mana is this strong?
[02:40] Rani
    Burst! Shiny Flow!
[02:52] Inglis
    Please don't hold back.
[02:54] Sistia
    Very well.
[02:55] Sistia
    I've been bored lately without
    any good foes to fight.
[03:00] Inglis
    She's so aggressive! I love it!
[03:03] Inglis
    I'm liking her more and more by the second!
[03:06] Inglis
    I think we'll get along.
[03:08] Inglis
    I was just thinking the same thing.
[03:10] Sistia
    Bratty little girl...
[03:13] Sistia
    Draw your sword.
[03:15] Inglis
    That won't be necessary.
[03:16] Sistia
    What?
[03:18] Inglis
    It's uselessly dull.
[03:20] Sistia
    Time to find out if your words are true.
[03:30] Sistia
    An ordinary knight would've been run through
    before they could move a muscle.
[03:35] Sistia
    Of course, if you couldn't dodge
    this much, it'd be no fun at all!
[03:40] Inglis
    She's maintaining her distance at all times,
    even as she attacks with her spear!
[03:45] Inglis
    Very good!
[03:49] Sistia
    She keeps closing the distance
    with each attack I make.
[03:55] Inglis
    You're out of room to fall back.
[04:00] Inglis
    Nice attack!
[04:04] Inglis
    Mine wasn't half bad either.
[04:10] Inglis
    Very good. She's strong enough to stand up
    right after a hit like that.
[04:15] Inglis
    And her desire to fight hasn't dulled at all!
[04:20] Inglis
    Excellent!
[04:21] Sistia
    You have so much power.
[04:25] Sistia
    Why are you serving a Highlander?
[04:27] Sistia
    Her kind are trying
    to steal away the surface.
[04:30] Sistia
    You're not just letting that happen.
    You're actively helping them.
[04:34] Inglis
    Well, Lady Seilyn seems nice.
[04:38] Inglis
    And the people in town seemed to like her.
[04:42] Sistia
    If you only look at what's
    happening on the surface, sure.
[04:45] Inglis
    Surface?
[04:46] Sistia
    You didn't notice something
    wrong about the town?
[04:49] Inglis
    The flow of mana?
[04:52] Inglis
    What about it?
[04:54] Sistia
    If you noticed, then look into it yourself.
[04:57] Sistia
    And realize for yourself
    how foolish your deeds are.
[05:00] Inglis
    I'd be lying if I said
    I wasn't a bit curious.
[05:03] Inglis
    But unfortunately,
    I'm not here to play hero!
[05:08] Inglis
    I was just helping her to earn some money
    after we ate too much and spent it all.
[05:13] Sistia
    To earn money?
[05:15] Inglis
    And thanks to that, I got to fight you!
[05:17] Inglis
    So I'm grateful to all that food I ate.
[05:20] Sistia
    What use is power without justice?
[05:24] Inglis
    I get to have fun! That's all!
[05:26] Sistia
    Fool!
[05:29] Sistia
    I refuse to let somebody
    like you have such power!
[05:38] Sistia
    You did well to dodge that.
[05:40] Inglis
    An attack that ignores space and distance...
[05:43] Inglis
    So this is her true, hidden power.
[05:47] Inglis
    Now this is getting interesting!
[05:54] Sistia
    She keeps moving around...
[05:58] Inglis
    I've been waiting for this!
[06:01] Inglis
    So, what will you do now?
[06:03] Sistia
    Fool! You've also stopped moving!
[06:07] Inglis
    So she can kick, not just use her spear?
[06:10] Inglis
    She knew what I'd do, too...
[06:14] Sistia
    Now you're mine!
[06:18] Sistia
    What?
[06:26] Inglis
    That was a good fight, huh?
[06:28] Inglis
    I had more fun than I thought I would.
[06:34] Sistia
    How will I ever face them now?
[06:37] Rani
    Chris!
[06:39] Rani
    I dealt with the enemies outside!
[06:44] Rani
    Chris...
[06:45] Inglis
    Rani!
[06:47] Sistia
    I can't let myself be captured here.
[06:50] Sistia
    Let me go, if you value her life.
[06:56] Rani
    Chris...
[07:00] Inglis
    Go, then.
[07:04] Inglis
    But may I say one thing?
[07:08] Inglis
    You're free to do whatever
    you want when fighting me.
[07:11] Inglis
    Flee as many times as you like,
    if you think things aren't going your way.
[07:16] Inglis
    However, if you ever hurt Rani again...
[07:21] Inglis
    You're a dead woman.
[07:25] Inglis
    That's all.
[07:26] Inglis
    Have a nice evening.
[07:28] Sistia
    What's your name?
[07:30] Inglis
    Inglis Eucus.
[07:32] Inglis
    A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[07:34] Seilyn
    Sistia Rouge.
[07:36] Seilyn
    Until we meet again...
[07:41] Inglis
    Rani!
[07:42] Inglis
    Are you okay?
[07:46] Rani
    I'm okay.
[07:48] Rani
    Sorry...
[07:49] Rani
    I guess I interrupted you.
[07:51] Inglis
    No, I was done.
[07:54] Inglis
    So were you, right?
[07:56] Rani
    Yes.
[07:57] Rani
    Lady Seilyn's safe.
[07:59] Rani
    Our mission's complete.
[08:01] Inglis
    Yup.
[08:04] Seilyn
    Thank you so much for your help yesterday.
[08:08] Seilyn
    Thanks to you, none of my men were injured.
[08:12] Rani
    I'm glad we could help.
[08:14] Inglis
    Are the former knights we captured
    going to be executed?
[08:19] Seilyn
    No, they were once loyal
    servants of this city.
[08:24] Seilyn
    They simply got a little arrogant.
[08:27] Seilyn
    I want them to change their ways and
    use their strength not for themselves,
[08:31] Seilyn
    but for the weak and powerless.
[08:36] Seilyn
    I plan on taking my time
    to persuade them of this.
[08:40] Seilyn
    And if they're willing to change,
    I'm going to hire them again.
[08:45] Rani
    Wow! And to think they tried to kill you!
[08:49] Inglis
    I think that's wonderful.
[08:54] Seilyn
    Oh? This has an unusual taste.
[08:57] Mimoza
    Yes. I thought you might be tired from
    yesterday, so I've added some herbs to it.
[09:02] Seilyn
    I see.
[09:03] Seilyn
    I do feel relaxed,
    like I could sleep very well.
[09:08] Rani
    Yes, it's good.
[09:10] Inglis
    It is.
[09:16] Seilyn
    There's something I want
    to talk to you about.
[09:19] Seilyn
    Will you come with me?
[09:21] Rani
    Y-Yes?
[09:22] Rani
    I didn't realize there was a place
    like this under the castle.
[09:27] Seilyn
    Only a select few know of it.
[09:31] Inglis
    That's...
[09:38] Inglis
    This magic circle is draining away mana.
[09:43] Rani
    Lady Seilyn... What is this?
[09:47] Inglis
    The core of the Highland.
    A Levitation Circle.
[09:53] Inglis
    It absorbs mana from its surroundings,
    and when it has enough,
[09:57] Inglis
    it breaks the land away from the earth
    around it and brings it to the sky.
[10:01] Rani
    The sky?
[10:02] Inglis
    Does that mean...?
[10:05] Seilyn
    It will become a new Highland.
[10:07] (Flashback) Sistia
    Her kind are trying
    to steal away the surface.
[10:11] Inglis
    I thought she meant in the
    political or psychological sense.
[10:15] Inglis
    I didn't think she literally meant they
    were stealing the surface itself...
[10:19] Rani
    If it flies up into the sky,
[10:21] Rani
    what happens to the people who live here?
[10:24] Seilyn
    The Highland is for Highlanders.
[10:28] Seilyn
    They'll either have to leave or become
    slaves of Highlanders themselves.
[10:32] Seilyn
    I'm planning on asking the higher-ups
    to let those who wish live here
[10:36] Seilyn
    without becoming slaves, or even allow them
    to become Highlanders themselves.
[10:40] Rani
    Can you do that?
[10:43] Seilyn
    I will. Even if I have to fight the Highland.
[10:46] Rani
    Why are you telling us
    something so important?
[10:51] Seilyn
    Because I wanted somebody
    to forgive me, I guess.
[10:55] Seilyn
    My being here as this city's ruler
    means it may someday be destroyed.
[11:02] Seilyn
    But I'm hiding that from everyone...
    and I don't know if that's okay.
[11:08] Seilyn
    So I want to ask you...
[11:11] Seilyn
    Is it okay for me to be here?
[11:14] Seilyn
    If not, you may strike me down where I stand.
[11:19] Rani
    C-Chris, what do we say?
[11:23] Inglis
    She's asking you for your opinion.
[11:27] Inglis
    You need to tell her what you think.
[11:30] Rani
    What about you, Chris?
[11:32] Inglis
    Me? I'll go with whatever you say.
[11:36] Inglis
    I'm going to be your squire, after all.
[11:38] Rani
    That's not fair!
[11:40] Inglis
    That's what it means to be the boss!
[11:43] Rani
    Okay...
[11:45] Rani
    Lady Seilyn...
[11:48] Rani
    I want to believe in you.
[11:51] Rani
    Because I think you believe what you say.
[11:56] Seilyn
    Rafinha...
[11:58] Rani
    When this land takes flight, if you
    need my power, I'll come to help you.
[12:05] Rani
    I'm going to train at the knights' academy
    in the capital and study hard!
[12:10] Rani
    I'll be able to help you more then!
[12:12] Rani
    So when that happens,
    take me on as a knight here!
[12:18] Seilyn
    Thank you, Rafinha...
[12:23] Rani
    This is okay, right, Chris?
[12:25] Rani
    It's what I've decided for myself.
[12:28] Inglis
    It's fine.
[12:30] Inglis
    If things go well, we might get
    to fight a Highlander army!
[12:33] Rani
    That's not going well at all!
[12:57] Rani
    What was that? An earthquake?
[13:00] Inglis
    I heard voices from this direction!
[13:01] Inglis
    Be careful, Rani!
[13:11] Inglis
    A magicite beast!
[13:16] Inglis
    That's...
[13:17] Rani
    No... Is that Lady Seilyn?
[13:21] Rani
    Why? There hasn't been any Prism Flow!
[13:24] Inglis
    Rani, remember what
    happened three years ago.
[13:28] Rani
    Three years ago?
[13:34] Inglis
    Rahl was turned into a magicite beast
    by the Bloodchain Brigade's Prism Powder.
[13:39] Rani
    So this is the Bloodchain Brigade again?
[13:43] Rani
    The question is... when?
[13:49] Mimoza
    Pathetic!
[13:51] Mimoza
    Now begone, Highlander!
[13:54] Rani
    Mimoza?!
[14:00] Inglis
    So that's where the Prism Powder was?
[14:03] Mimoza
    My son was killed by a Highlander!
[14:07] Mimoza
    Go to hell!
[14:16] Knights
    Magicite beasts! Split up!
[14:19] Inglis
    Wait!
[14:21] Inglis
    You need to evacuate the people in the castle!
[14:23] Knights
    But...
[14:24] Inglis
    Leave this to us! Hurry!
[14:27] Knights
    Understood.
[14:28] Rani
    What do we do, Chris?
[14:30] Inglis
    We have to stop her.
[14:32] Inglis
    Rani, if she looks like she's going to fire
    another one of those beams, block her!
[14:35] Rani
    Got it!
[14:42] Inglis
    Lady Seilyn, stop this, please!
[14:48] Rani
    No, Lady Seilyn!
[15:13] Inglis
    You're...
[15:15] Sistia
    Die!
[15:17] Inglis
    Stop it!
[15:18] Sistia
    Don't interfere!
    I didn't come here to fight you!
[15:22] Inglis
    You're with the Bloodchain
    Brigade, aren't you?
[15:25] Sistia
    And what if I am?
[15:28] Inglis
    If I'd defeated you then, Mimoza wouldn't
    have gotten her hands on the Prism Powder.
[15:34] MaskedMan
    No, that's not true.
[15:37] MaskedMan
    My comrades all carry Prism Powder.
[15:42] MaskedMan
    Comrade Mimoza already had it.
[15:44] Inglis
    When did he show up?
[15:47] MaskedMan
    The plan to use the banished knights
    to attack the Highlander failed.
[15:52] MaskedMan
    So Comrade Mimoza took action on her own.
[15:55] Inglis
    And who might you be?
[15:56] MaskedMan
    I am the leader of the Bloodchain Brigade.
[15:59] MaskedMan
    I have no name. Call me what you like.
[16:03] MaskedMan
    I've come to protect this land.
[16:06] Inglis
    From the danger that you people created?
[16:10] MaskedMan
    We will eliminate the Highlander,
    but the people of this land are innocent.
[16:15] Inglis
    I won't let you hurt either of them.
[16:19] Rani
    Chris! We need to stop her!
[16:23] Sistia
    Get out of here.
[16:27] Inglis
    I won't let you!
[16:41] Inglis
    I didn't think anyone could take a clean hit
    from my Aether-Shell-enhanced fist.
[16:47] Inglis
    It seems I still have much
    to see of the world!
[16:49] Inglis
    Step aside!
[16:51] MaskedMan
    Sorry, but I can't.
[16:56] Inglis
    Amazing!
[16:57] Inglis
    I'd love to have a nice, long fight
    with him, but now's not the time!
[17:05] Sistia
    You're mine.
[17:12] Rani
    Not on my watch!
[17:13] Sistia
    Then I'll take you out first!
[17:15] Kids
    Lady Seilyn!
[17:17] Rino
    Lady Seilyn, are you okay?
[17:21] Miyumi
    Are you hurt?
[17:23] Chiko
    Are you in pain, Lady Seilyn?
[17:27] MaskedMan
    No! Sistia!
[17:28] Sistia
    Yes!
[17:30] Kids
    Lady Seilyn!
[17:31] Rani
    Run!
[17:32] Kids
    What's wrong?
[17:34] Kids
    Are you okay?
[17:36] Kids
    Lady Seilyn?
[17:39] Rani
    That's...
[17:40] Kids
    Lady Seilyn!
[17:42] Kids
    No!
[17:49] Rani
    Lady Seilyn, no!
[18:01] Rani
    Chris!
[18:02] Sistia
    What are you doing?
    You should've allowed her a clean death!
[18:05] Inglis
    Lady Seilyn is still in there!
[18:09] Inglis
    We can't let her die!
[18:12] MaskedMan
    But nothing's changed.
[18:15] Inglis
    There's something I want to try.
[18:17] Inglis
    Distract her.
[18:19] Inglis
    If I fail, I'll let you do as you like.
[18:24] MaskedMan
    Very well. Let's make a deal.
[18:27] MaskedMan
    Whether this works or not,
    when it's over, you leave the city.
[18:33] MaskedMan
    We're going to destroy
    the Levitation Circle,
[18:36] MaskedMan
    and I don't want you trying to interfere.
[18:39] Inglis
    Very well.
[18:40] Inglis
    I'm sorry I won't get a chance to fight you.
[18:44] MaskedMan
    Now, if you'll excuse me.
[18:46] MaskedMan
    We have a deal.
[18:48] MaskedMan
    Sistia, distract her!
[18:51] Sistia
    Understood!
[18:52] Inglis
    You too, Rani!
[18:54] Rani
    Got it.
[18:55] Rani
    Chris, make sure you stop
    Lady Seilyn, all right?
[18:58] Inglis
    Yeah, I'll give it my best shot!
[19:13] Inglis
    Firstly, I convert all of
    my aether into mana.
[19:23] Inglis
    I control it and shift into
    casting a spell...
[19:27] Inglis
    I'm ready to cast!
[19:33] Inglis
    Freeze!
[19:51] MaskedMan
    Oh?
[19:55] Rani
    Chris, are you okay?
[19:57] Inglis
    Yeah, I think it worked.
[20:00] Rani
    Hey, Lady Seilyn's okay, right?
[20:05] Inglis
    Yeah, magicite beasts are tough to kill.
[20:08] Inglis
    I think she'll be able
    to move when it melts.
[20:11] Rani
    Good...
[20:12] Inglis
    But we need to get her away from here.
[20:15] MaskedMan
    I'll make her easier to move, then.
[20:20] MaskedMan
    She's too big right now.
[20:35] Rani
    She's getting smaller!
[20:37] Inglis
    This light... Aether?
    So he's a Divine Knight too?
[20:43] Inglis
    But the Goddess' blessing
    is needed to create a Divine Knight.
[20:48] Inglis
    I thought I couldn't sense her
    in this world...
[20:52] Inglis
    Is there a divine existence here after all?
[20:59] MaskedMan
    The aether in her body is gone,
[21:02] MaskedMan
    so returning her to her original size
    will be almost impossible.
[21:06] MaskedMan
    But that also means that she can never again
    grow large enough to be a threat to others.
[21:12] Inglis
    I hate to say it, but I couldn't do
    what you've done right now.
[21:16] MaskedMan
    Keep your promise, then. Go.
[21:20] Rani
    What about the people
    in the castle and the town?
[21:22] MaskedMan
    We won't hurt them.
[21:24] MaskedMan
    Our only enemy are the Highlanders.
[21:28] Inglis
    I believe you.
[21:37] Rino
    Lady Seilyn!
[21:39] Chiko
    Don't go!
[21:40] Miyumi
    Lady Seilyn!
[21:43] Inglis
    She'll come back someday.
[21:47] Miyumi
    Really?
[21:48] Rani
    Yup. So all of you,
    stay friends with each other!
[21:52] Rani
    So that when she comes back,
    she'll be happy.
[21:56] Kids
    Okay...
[22:00] Kids
    Bye-bye, Lady Seilyn!
[22:03] Kids
    Come back, okay?
[22:04] Kids
    We'll be waiting!
[22:12] Inglis
    Hey!
[22:14] Inglis
    Lady Seilyn, stop moving
    around like that! It tickles!
[22:26] Rani
    She's so cute after the ice melted!
[22:32] Inglis
    Rani, please...
[22:34] Rani
    Well, mine are too small.
[22:37] Rani
    She seems to like your breasts better.
[22:41] Rani
    Right, Lyn?

    Lyn?
[22:46] Rani
    She's so small now! So I thought "Lyn"
    fit better than calling her "Lady Seilyn."
[22:51] Inglis
    Lyn, come on outside...
[22:56] Inglis
    Stop moving around!
[23:00] Inglis
    What's wrong, Rani?
[23:02] Rani
    I still don't know who was right
    and who was wrong this time.
[23:09] Rani
    The Bloodchain Brigade said they
    were trying to protect the town.
[23:14] Inglis
    Yup.
[23:17] Rani
    It just makes my head hurt!
[23:19] Inglis
    That's just part of being young.
[23:22] Rani
    No, I don't think so...
[23:23] Rani
    It doesn't bother you, Chris?
[23:26] Inglis
    Yup. 'Cause I don't think about it.
[23:28] Inglis
    As long as you only think about
    getting stronger, it won't bother you.
[23:33] Inglis
    Want to try it, Rani?
[23:35] Rani
    I'll pass.
[23:37] Inglis
    Then think about it all you like.
[23:39] Inglis
    I'm always on your side, okay?
[23:41] Rani
    Yeah, thanks!
