[00:01] Sariphi
    Amit!
[00:04] Amit
    Lady Sariphi, Sir Lanteveldt.
[00:08] Sariphi
    What's wrong?
[00:10] Sariphi
    You haven't seemed yourself lately.
[00:13] Sariphi
    Is it something to do with Captain Jormungand?
[00:17] Amit
    I heard that the Royal Guard should
    already have returned by now.
[00:23] Amit
    I'm beside myself with worry.
[00:27] Lanteveldt
    The Guard's on campaign in Aiphos, right?
[00:30] Lanteveldt
    The interspecies wars there
    have been going on forever.
[00:34] Lanteveldt
    They should just let the locals go at it.
[00:37] Sariphi
    Don't worry, Amit.
[00:40] Sariphi
    Jormungand has your amulet to keep him safe.
[00:44] Amit
    Lady Sariphi...
[00:46] (Flashback) Jormungand
    I swear to return unscathed,
[00:48] (Flashback) Jormungand
    so that I may repay you for
    your thousand prayers.
[00:52] Sariphi
    So I'm sure he'll be fine. Okay?
[00:58] Jormungand
    After me! First Platoon, defend the civilians!
[01:02] Jormungand
    The rest of you, secure the objective at once!
[01:07] Rattian A
    This was once Rattian land
    before you stole it from us!
[01:12] Rattian A
    Justice is on our side!
[01:16] Jormungand
    No cause justifies turning a blade
    against unarmed people!
[01:22] Jormungand
    You face me now!
SIGN    Chance Meeting of a Boy and a Child
[03:00] Gatekeeper
    The Royal Guard has returned
    from Aiphos! Open the gates!
[03:11] Amit
    Captain Jormungand...
[03:14] Jormungand
    I, Captain Jormungand of the
    Royal Guard of Ozmargo,
[03:18] Jormungand
    have returned with 80 soldiers, sire.
[03:21] Leonhart
    You have served me well.
    I will hear your report later.
[03:24] Leonhart
    Today, you and your men may take your ease.
[03:27] Amit
    Thank goodness. They all
    made it home safe and sound.
[03:37] Anubis
    This mission seems to have
    taken you longer than usual, Jor.
[03:41] Anubis
    I believe I asked you not to absent
    yourself overlong on campaign.
[03:45] Jormungand
    And I asked you not to gripe
    as soon as I get back, Abi.
[03:50] Jormungand
    Why, Princess Amit.
[03:51] Amit
    U-Um...
[03:53] Jormungand
    What perfect timing.
[03:54] Amit
    What?
[03:55] Jormungand
    I have something to tell you.
    Alone, if possible.
[04:00] Jormungand
    May I have a moment of your time?
[04:03] Amit
    Wh-What?!
[04:25] Amit
    Wh-What could Captain Jormungand
    have to say to me?
[04:30] Amit
    O-Oh, dear. I mustn't get carried away.
[04:33] Amit
    And yet I have so much to say to him, as well!
[04:37] Jormungand
    Princess Amit.
[04:39] Jormungand
    For you.
[04:43] Amit
    That is... the amulet I gave you.
[04:47] Jormungand
    Yes. I wish to return it.
[04:51] Amit
    What?
[04:53] Amit
    D-Did you find it, um, a hindrance?
[04:57] Jormungand
    Perish the thought.
[04:58] Jormungand
    Though our mission was perilous,
    we all returned safely.
[05:03] Jormungand
    I have no doubt your amulet protected us.
[05:05] Amit
    Th-Then, well, if you don't mind,
[05:10] Amit
    I'd rather you kept it with you.
[05:12] Jormungand
    No, I am unworthy of it.
[05:16] Jormungand
    Please,
[05:17] Jormungand
    bestow this on someone for
    whom you care more deeply.
[05:22] Jormungand
    Good day.
[05:34] Sariphi
    What? Jormungand said that?
[05:36] Amit
    Yes. He just returned my amulet.
[05:39] Sariphi
    Oh, no. But why?
[05:41] Lanteveldt
    'Cause he doesn't need it anymore. Why else?
[05:44] Sariphi
    Lante! Mind your manners.
[05:47] Amit
    Sir Lanteveldt is right.
[05:51] Amit
    This must be
[05:52] Amit
    Captain Jormungand's reply to me.
[05:58] Lanteveldt
    Talk about gloomy.
[05:59] Lanteveldt
    Anyway, I can't believe you
    two are so buddy-buddy.
[06:03] Sariphi
    Of course we are. We're friends.
[06:05] Amit
    Lady Sariphi...
[06:07] Sariphi
    I just can't accept this!
[06:10] Amit
    Lady Sariphi?!
[06:15] Jormungand
    Princess Amit's amulet?
[06:18] Sariphi
    If you don't need it anymore,
    I can't help that.
[06:21] Sariphi
    But if you have another reason,
    please tell me what it is.
[06:24] Sariphi
    Amit put her heart into making that amulet.
[06:28] Sariphi
    So...
[06:30] Jormungand
    I must beg your pardon,
    but I cannot answer that.
[06:34] Jormungand
    It is a personal matter.
[06:36] Lanteveldt
    Hold it! Don't be so stingy,
    Mr. Royal Guard.
[06:41] Jormungand
    And you are?
[06:42] Lanteveldt
    Lanteveldt, captain of the
    acting queen's personal guard.
[06:45] Lanteveldt
    And don't you forget it.
[06:47] Jormungand
    You lead the Queen's Guard?
[06:48] Jormungand
    I see. So you're the one Abi—
    the chancellor mentioned.
[06:52] Anubis
    That insolent whelp is...
[06:54] Lanteveldt
    I can more or less guess what he said.
[06:58] Lanteveldt
    But anyway, how about you and I...
[07:01] Amit
    A d-duel?! Between Captain
    Jormungand and Sir Lanteveldt?!
[07:05] Amit
    What could possess them to do such a thing?!
[07:07] Clops
    We're not really sure.
    Lante challenged him out of the blue.
[07:12] Cy
    Blue.
[07:13] Amit
    Th-Then... where are they now?!
[07:19] Jormungand
    Lanteveldt, was it?
    Why do you wish to battle me?
[07:24] Jormungand
    My sword serves the king's will.
[07:27] Jormungand
    Should you not wield your strength
    for your liege's sake, as well?
[07:31] Lanteveldt
    My "liege" is looking down
    in the dumps because of you.
[07:35] Lanteveldt
    So we're gonna fight, and if I win,
[07:37] Lanteveldt
    I'm gonna make you answer
    Sariphi's question.
[07:41] Lanteveldt
    This is my idea of loyalty.
    You got a problem with that?
[07:44] Leonhart
    Give him his duel, Jormungand.
[07:46] Jormungand
    Sire!
[07:47] Leonhart
    I permit it.
[07:49] Jormungand
    But...
[07:50] Leonhart
    I've yet to see the captain
    of the Queen's Guard fight.
[07:55] Leonhart
    If he can hold his own against you,
    then he should do the same in battle.
[07:59] Lanteveldt
    Now Your Majesty's speaking my language.
[08:01] Anubis
    How dare you address His Majesty
    so flippantly after—
[08:03] Jormungand
    Very well.
[08:05] Jormungand
    If it is my king's command, then I,
    Jormungand, humbly accept this challenge
[08:11] Jormungand
    from Captain Lanteveldt
    of the Queen's Guard.
[08:15] Clops
    Oh, no! They've already started!
[08:22] Sariphi
    Sire,
[08:24] Sariphi
    why did you allow this duel?
[08:26] Sariphi
    I wish you'd stopped them.
[08:29] Leonhart
    I wanted to make sure of something.
[08:35] Lanteveldt
    Don't get careless. Not everyone
    you fight will stand on ceremony.
[08:40] Jormungand
    Yes, I could say the same to you.
[08:44] Lanteveldt
    Huh?
[08:47] Referee
    Stop! We have a winner!
[08:51] Lanteveldt
    Wait, that counted?!
[08:52] Lanteveldt
    No fair! That's cheating!
[08:54] Leonhart
    I see.
[08:56] Sariphi
    Did you figure something out?
[08:58] Leonhart
    Yes. I suspect that he is...
[09:01] Lanteveldt
    One more time! I want a rematch!
[09:07] Amit
    Captain Jormungand.
[09:12] Jormungand
    Your Highness?
[09:14] Jormungand
    How may I help you?
[09:20] Amit
    P-Pardon me.
[09:24] Amit
    I knew it! You are wounded!
[09:27] Amit
    Um...
[09:28] Amit
    Take this Murgan salve. It's well-suited
    for Reptilian constitutions.
[09:34] Jormungand
    How did you know? I tried to
    hide it even from my own men.
[09:39] Amit
    Lady Sariphi told me.
[09:42] (Flashback) Sariphi
    His Majesty said that Jormungand's
    swordplay seemed off to him.
[09:47] (Flashback) Sariphi
    He wondered if the captain might be hurt.
[09:51] Jormungand
    The king said that?
[09:53] Amit
    You received that wound
    on the campaign, didn't you?
[09:57] Amit
    That's why you returned the...
[10:01] Amit
    Forgive me.
[10:02] Amit
    I'm so sorry that my amulet failed you.
[10:07] Jormungand
    You're wrong.
[10:09] Jormungand
    I returned your amulet because
    I wished to spare you this distress.
[10:16] Amit
    What?
[10:17] Jormungand
    I blundered in the course of my duty
    and failed to repay your kindness.
[10:25] Jormungand
    As long as I held your amulet, any harm
    I suffered would wound your heart.
[10:30] Jormungand
    And so I returned it to you,
    despite the discourtesy.
[10:37] (Flashback) Sariphi
    So, Amit, this is just my guess,
    but I think Jormungand must have...
[10:45] Amit
    Captain Jormungand, I...
[10:49] Amit
    I have no exceptional talent or strength.
[10:52] Amit
    So I gave you that amulet
    because it was the most I could do.
[10:58] Amit
    You risk your life in battle.
[11:01] Amit
    So from now on, I will risk mine, as well.
[11:06] Amit
    I'll become so strong that
    nothing can shake me.
[11:10] Amit
    So... So...
[11:13] Amit
    Please take this with you once more!
[11:28] Lanteveldt
    Ugh! This sucks!
[11:30] Lanteveldt
    I can't stand it!
[11:31] Clops
    You put up a good fight.
[11:33] Sariphi
    Yes, His Majesty said that you'd
    make a good guard captain.
[11:37] Lanteveldt
    Saying I held my own against an
    injured guy isn't a compliment.
[11:41] Amit
    Um, Lady Sariphi, how could you tell?
[11:46] Sariphi
    Huh?
[11:47] Amit
    That Captain Jormungand returned
    the amulet for my sake, I mean.
[11:53] Sariphi
    Just a hunch. I couldn't be sure.
[11:56] Sariphi
    But if His Majesty had done it,
    I'm sure that would be why.
[12:00] Amit
    My goodness, Lady Sariphi!
[12:03] Lanteveldt
    Ridiculous. You just wanna
    brag about your love life?
[12:06] Lanteveldt
    Still, you've got a real jumble
    of people around you.
[12:10] Lanteveldt
    You've got me, a Hyenian,
    leading your guard.
[12:13] Lanteveldt
    Your friend's a Reptilian princess,
    your servants are Cyclopians,
[12:18] Lanteveldt
    and your holy beast is this thing.
[12:20] Bennu
    Who're you calling "this thing," nincompoop?!
[12:23] Lanteveldt
    And to top it off, the king of
    beasts is marrying a human.
[12:27] Sariphi
    You're right, but I hope that
    all this will be normal someday.
[12:33] Sariphi
    That all of us, no matter the species,
    accept that we're different,
[12:36] Sariphi
    but also the same deep down.
[12:39] Sariphi
    That's what I hope for.
[12:41] Lanteveldt
    Now that's a pie in the sky.
[12:44] Sariphi
    That's true.
[12:46] Sariphi
    Yes, the hatred between beasts and humans
    is more than simple preference.
[12:53] Sariphi
    Even now, I know people out there are
    suffering from wounds that I can't heal.
[13:00] Old Man
    Are you really leaving?
[13:03] Ilya
    Yeah. I hear beasts are snatching kids
    farther east along the border.
[13:10] Ilya
    As a professional beast hunter,
    I can't ignore that.
[13:13] Old Man
    I see. Take care, then.
[13:16] Old Man
    Don't do anything too rash.
[13:18] Ilya
    Thanks for everything, Gramps.
[13:21] Ilya
    See you!
[13:33] (Flashback) Sariphi
    Ilya!
[13:34] (Flashback) Sariphi
    I'll see you again, won't I?
[13:42] Ilya
    Beasts!
[13:43] Beast
    Whoever you are, get out of our way!
[13:51] Ilya
    You won't get away!
[13:57] Ilya
    Hey, kid. Are you hurt?
[14:00] Maalo
    N-No, I'm fine.
[14:03] Maalo
    I've got a hard head!
[14:07] Maalo
    Huh? A human?
[14:11] Maalo
    Th-Thanks, mister. You saved me!
[14:16] Maalo
    I'm Maalo. What's your name?
[14:21] Maalo
    Hey.
[14:21] Ilya
    Stay back!
[14:27] Ilya
    Killing a kid like you is a waste of time.
[14:29] Ilya
    I'll let you go, so disappear.
[14:31] Maalo
    I don't know how to.
[14:33] Ilya
    It means go home! To your own country!
[14:36] Maalo
    I don't know how.
[14:37] Ilya
    What?!
[14:38] Maalo
    I got kidnapped, so I don't
    know the way home.
[14:45] Maalo
    Hey, mister!
[14:47] Maalo
    Are you really going to take me home?!
[14:51] Ilya
    I just told you to follow me
    since I'm headed for the border.
[14:54] Ilya
    And don't walk so close.
[14:56] Maalo
    Okay! I can get home, then.
[14:58] Maalo
    Thanks, mister.
[15:00] Ilya
    Stop calling me that.
[15:02] Ilya
    You're a weird kid. What kind
    of beast thanks a human?
[15:07] Maalo
    Huh? Why wouldn't I?
[15:09] Maalo
    My mom always tells me to say thank you
    when someone does something nice for me.
[15:14] Maalo
    Do humans not say thank you?
[15:18] Maalo
    Hey! Wait for me!
[15:20] Ilya
    What's wrong with this beast?
    He talks like a human.
[15:27] Ilya
    Hey, kid.
[15:31] Ilya
    He's gone?!
[15:32] Ilya
    I barely took my eyes off him.
[15:34] Ilya
    Don't tell me he got kidnapped aga—
[15:39] Maalo
    Ow!
[15:41] Ilya
    Don't wander off, you little brat!
[15:43] Ilya
    I told you to follow me!
[15:45] Maalo
    Mister!
[15:46] Ilya
    Stop that!
[15:47] Ilya
    Not listening is probably
    what got you kidnapped!
[15:50] Maalo
    I'm sorry. It's just...
[15:52] Maalo
    I've never seen such pretty
    flowers and weird bugs before.
[15:56] Maalo
    Do humans always live in places like this?
[16:00] Maalo
    That must be nice.
[16:02] Ilya
    Hey, why did those guys bring you here?
[16:06] Ilya
    Why would beasts kidnap a beast?
[16:08] Maalo
    Huh?
[16:10] Maalo
    Well, uh, lots of kids are
    getting taken lately.
[16:14] Maalo
    First they get sold to humans,
[16:17] Maalo
    then they get "stuffed"
    or put in "freak shows."
[16:20] Ilya
    So the beast kidnappers I
    heard about work for humans?
[16:24] Maalo
    I wonder if "freak shows" are fun...
[16:27] Ilya
    Humans treating beasts like playthings?
[16:30] Ilya
    It's almost like
[16:32] Ilya
    what happened back then.
[16:35] Maalo
    Mister?
[16:37] Maalo
    Are you hurt?
[16:38] Ilya
    Don't touch me!
[16:47] Ilya
    What are you doing?
[16:48] Maalo
    Y-You said not to touch.
[16:52] Maalo
    My mom always rubs me
    when I've got a boo-boo.
[16:57] Maalo
    So I'm rubbing you without touching.
[17:00] Maalo
    Boo-boo, get better!
[17:02] Maalo
    Get better!
[17:03] Maalo
    Get—
[17:05] Human A
    There! There it is!
[17:07] Human A
    I've had it with these beasts
    and their sloppy work.
[17:10] Human A
    They took the money and ran.
[17:13] Ilya
    Humans.
[17:14] Ilya
    Who are you?
[17:16] Human A
    We serve a certain noble personage.
    That's all I can tell you.
[17:20] Human B
    That beast is our prey.
[17:24] Maalo
    ...they get sold to humans...
[17:26] Ilya
    These must be...
[17:27] Human A
    Now, hand it over.
[17:32] Human A
    Hm? That tattoo on your left cheek...
[17:35] Human A
    You must be that wanderer
    who hunts beasts in these parts.
[17:39] Human B
    Are you after this one, too?
[17:42] Ilya
    I'm...
[17:46] Ilya
    not involved.
[17:48] Ilya
    I don't care what happens to him.
[17:50] Human A
    Glad to hear it.
[17:52] Maalo
    Huh?
[17:53] Maalo
    Where are we going?
[17:55] Human B
    To a master who'll take
    real good care of you.
[17:58] Maalo
    What?
[17:59] Maalo
    No! I wanna go home!
[18:02] Maalo
    Stop! Let go of me!
[18:05] Maalo
    I wanna go home!
[18:06] Human B
    Settle down!
[18:07] Maalo
    Stop it! Mom!
[18:12] Ilya
    Why should I care if he lives, dies,
    gets stuffed, or ends up in a freak show?
[18:19] Ilya
    As long as he's out of my hair, then...
[18:21] Maalo
    No! Stop!
[18:22] Human
    Shut your mouth and stop whining!
[18:22] Maalo
    I don't wanna go!
[18:25] Maalo
    Help, mister!
[18:34] Human B
    Wh-What's the big idea?!
[18:35] Human A
    Couldn't resist the money
    this thing'll fetch?!
[18:39] Ilya
    Don't think I'm like you.
[18:42] Ilya
    I hate beasts' guts.
[18:45] Ilya
    But bastards like you,
[18:48] Ilya
    who toy with people's lives,
    piss me off even more.
[18:53] Human B
    What?!
[18:54] Human A
    If you get in our way,
    we'll make you regret it!
[19:03] Ilya
    Don't just stand there!
[19:04] Ilya
    Run for it!
[19:07] Ilya
    Idiot!
[19:10] Maalo
    Don't pick on him!
[19:13] Ilya
    Are you...
[19:14] Human B
    Hey, be careful.
[19:15] Human B
    It's worth nothing if we kill it.
[19:17] Human A
    I know.
[19:29] Ilya
    I'll only say this once.
[19:31] Ilya
    If you value your lives
    more than pocket change,
[19:34] Ilya
    then get lost right now.
[19:37] Human A
    O-Okay, you win!
[19:39] Human A
    You can have that thing!
[19:48] Ilya
    You should've minded your own business.
[19:50] Ilya
    I can't live with being in debt to a beast.
[19:54] Ilya
    But we're even now, got it?
[19:56] Maalo
    I didn't lend you anything.
[19:58] Ilya
    Listen, you...
[20:01] Ilya
    It may be small now, but it'll
    kill humans when it's grown.
[20:05] Ilya
    That's just how they are.
[20:08] Sariphi
    But not all beasts want that.
[20:13] (Flashback) Sariphi
    There are all kinds of beasts.
    Some are nice, and some are scared.
[20:17] Sariphi
    Just like humans.
[20:23] Maalo
    I say it when someone does
    something nice for me.
[20:26] Maalo
    Do humans not?
[20:29] Ilya
    What I mean to say is... thanks.
[20:34] Maalo
    That's the way. You're welcome!
[20:41] Ilya
    I won't change. My hatred
    of beasts will last forever.
[20:46] Ilya
    But, Sariphi...
[20:48] Ilya
    Maybe you had a point, at least
    about the beasts you got to know.
[20:57] Ilya
    Beasts like this little guy.
[21:02] Ilya
    Go on. Cross that mountain,
    and you're in beast country.
[21:05] Maalo
    The sky's normal again!
[21:08] Ilya
    I can't go any farther,
    so figure out the rest yourself.
[21:11] Maalo
    I will! Thank you.
[21:13] Maalo
    Come play with me in
    Ozmargo sometime, mister!
[21:16] Ilya
    If I feel like it.
[21:19] Maalo
    You've got to!
[21:21] Maalo
    See you, mister! Bye-bye!
[21:24] Maalo
    I said, bye-bye!
[21:40] Maalo
    Bye-bye!
[22:50] Rattian A
    We didn't count on the
    Royal Guard getting involved.
[22:53] Rattian A
    But next time...
[22:55] Rattian B
    You know, I hear the Blood Pact Corps in
    Maasya has announced that it's disbanding.
[23:00] Rattian B
    They were the biggest
    anti-monarchist group around there.
[23:04] Rattian A
    Hah! Cowards!
[23:06] Rattian A
    I always knew that it would fall to us,
    the Black Stars, to topple the king!
[23:11] Gleipnir
    You don't change much, either.
[23:14] Rattian A
    Wh-Who goes there?!
[23:15] Rattian B
    Did the king send you?!
[23:18] Gleipnir
    That's right. From now on,
[23:21] Gleipnir
    you're soldiers in His Majesty's service.
[23:26] Jormungand
    The anti-monarchists have
    all gone quiet at once?
[23:29] Anubis
    As if at a signal.
[23:31] Jormungand
    That seems like a blessing, but I wonder.
[23:35] Anubis
    Indeed. Something stinks.
