[01:34] Merlin
    The royal capital really is gorgeous.
[01:38] Sign
    Episode 10
[01:38] Sign
    Lloyd Fights.
SIGN    That's concerning.
SIGN    What do you mean, you weren't able to crush a single rural town on the frontier?
[01:54] Grist
    Truly, this brings me great shame.
[01:58] NDL
    Now then, what became of the beastwoman?
[02:01] Grist
    Well...
[02:03] Grist
    We've yet to locate her.
[02:06] NDL
    You're one of my Four Great Generals.
[02:08] NDL
    Perhaps I expected too much of you.
[02:11] NDL
    You said you could create an incredible army
    of monsters that bends to our will, no?
[02:16] NDL
    That was to be our trump card
    for invading the continent.
[02:19] NDL
    Do you understand that?
[02:21] Grist
    I'm very well aware.
[02:24] NDL
    Then I wish you would produce results.
[02:27] NDL
    If you fail me again,
    it will cost you your position.
[02:31] Grist
    Understood. I shall take that to heart.
[02:39] Grist
    Damn it!
[02:41] Grist
    How am I even supposed to search
    for that woman without any clues?!
[02:47] Michelle
    You appear to be troubled.
[02:50] Grist
    You bastard!
[02:52] Grist
    Bold of you to show your face
     before me so brazenly!
[02:55] Michelle
    I haven't received my payment yet, after all.
[02:58] Grist
    Enough of your jesting!
[03:01] Michelle
    That woman...
[03:03] Michelle
    She's en route to the capital.
[03:05] Michelle
    She's being guarded by S-rank
    adventurers rather than the knights.
[03:11] Grist
    And why do you know that?
[03:14] Michelle
    Because I needed to restore my good name.
[03:19] Michelle
    If you'd like, I can help you steal her back.
[03:24] Grist
    You really are a jester to the end.
[03:28] Yui
    Okay, next question!
[03:31] Yui
    They say a cynical person gets their
    braids in a twist, and what else?
[03:36] Cross
    Their nose!
[03:36] Silica
    Fingers!
[03:37] Daggas
    Knees!
[03:38] Lloyd
    Uh, what do you call down there again...?
[03:40] Yui
    Down where, exactly?
[03:53] Cross
    Just a rabbit?
[04:00] Lloyd
    It's all right.
[04:01] Lloyd
    No demons in the area.
[04:03] Daggas
    I see.
[04:06] Silica
    Shall we take a load off?
[04:19] Yui
    What?
[04:20] Lloyd
    Nothing.
[04:22] Lloyd
    I was just thinking everyone looks
    like they've grasped something new.
[04:25] Yui
    R-Really?
[04:26] Lloyd
    Yeah.
[04:27] Lloyd
    When we all jumped to act earlier,
[04:30] Lloyd
    you all felt brimming with confidence.
[04:32] Yui
    What about you, Lloyd?
[04:34] Lloyd
    I've done all I can for now,
[04:38] Lloyd
    but frankly, I'm still worried.
[04:40] Lloyd
    I at least need to avoid
     dragging you guys down.
[04:44] Yui
    Hey, your bad habits
    are rearing their head again.
[04:46] Lloyd
    Huh?
[04:47] Yui
    Don't you think you should
    have more self-confidence?
[04:51] Lloyd
    Self-confidence?
[04:53] Lloyd
    Back then was...
[04:54] Lloyd
    But still, I could be better.
[04:57] Claire
    Lloyd.
[04:58] Claire
    I think the power you possess
    is more incredible than anyone else's.
[05:02] Lloyd
    No, compared to my master, I'm...
[05:06] Silica
    I trained hard when we were in town
    because I'm trying to catch up to you, Lloyd.
[05:12] Lloyd
    Catch up to me?
[05:13] Cross
    Same.
[05:14] Cross
    Thanks to you, I realized I have room to grow.
[05:18] Daggas
    Ever since you joined this party,
[05:20] Daggas
    we've all felt it.
[05:23] Daggas
    "If I don't do something,
     I'll become reliant on Lloyd."
[05:27] Yui
    To be self-confident is
    to appreciate your true strength.
[05:32] Lloyd
    My true strength?
[05:35] Yui
    If you undervalue yourself,
[05:38] Yui
    you'll never draw out your full potential.
[05:40] Yui
    And if you can't appreciate
     your true strength,
[05:42] Yui
    then you'll never get any better.
[05:45] All
    Yeah.
[05:47] Lloyd
    R-Really?
[05:48] Yui
    Really.
[05:50] Lloyd
    All right.
[05:51] Lloyd
    I'll do my best to be more self-confident.
[05:53] Sign
    Pfft!
[05:54] Yui
    I swear, that's just like you.
[06:11] Merlin
    You're sure living fancy, aren't you?
[06:15] Soldier
    Halt!
[06:16] Soldier
    Only those with proper authorization
    can pass beyond here!
[06:25] Merlin
    Good work, men.
[06:39] Merlin
    What an awfully elaborate facade.
[06:46] Merlin
    Here, is it?
[06:56] Merlin
    I guess I should at least show some manners.
[07:01] Lowen
    Merlin! I knew it was you!
[07:04] Merlin
    It's been a long time, Lowen.
[07:07] Lowen
    Indeed, since our battle with the demon lord.
[07:13] Merlin
    How did you know it was me?
[07:15] Lowen
    I could smell your mana.
[07:18] Merlin
    Ah, right, you're able
    to discern that by scent.
[07:22] Lowen
    Indeed. The particulars of yours are—
[07:24] Merlin
    No, telling me won't mean anything.
[07:27] Merlin
    I don't have the senses
    of your unique special ability.
[07:31] Lowen
    Hmm, well, it's quite a nice smell.
[07:35] Lowen
    Right now, the demon lord's son
    reigns at the top of the magocracy.
[07:41] Merlin
    He inherited it?
[07:43] Lowen
    The magocracy's been lying
    low ever since our battle.
[07:47] Lowen
    The previous lord's power was far too great.
[07:51] Merlin
    The emperor must trust you a lot
[07:55] Merlin
    to let you hide your
    research lab in the castle.
[07:58] Lowen
    Well, this is just how things turned out when
    I tried studying and mimicking your magic.
[08:04] Merlin
    I don't have any magic worth studying.
[08:09] Lowen
    What are you saying?
[08:11] Lowen
    You can cast spells without incantations,
[08:14] Lowen
    and you developed the technique
    to use storage magic without a staff.
[08:20] Lowen
    All by applying your analysis
    of how ancient magic works.
[08:24] Merlin
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
[08:28] Merlin
    I'm no researcher, after all.
[08:30] Lowen
    Is that...
[08:31] Merlin
    I want you to look at it.
[08:33] Merlin
    See if this half of a grimoire still
    retains the power to seal the demon lord.
[08:39] Lowen
    What?!
[08:40] Lowen
    You can't mean the demon lord is returning!
[08:43] Merlin
    I'm just considering possibilities.
[08:45] Merlin
    Never hurts to be prepared.
[08:48] Lowen
    Very well.
[08:50] Yui
    Once we're through this forest,
    we'll reach the town of Schwerz.
[08:54] Daggas
    It's a little over a day
    from there to the capital.
[08:57] Yui
    We're not far now!
[08:58] Yui
    So let's stay sharp!
[09:00] Claire
    The sun will be setting soon.
[09:03] Silica
    Won't we be attacked by monsters
    if we're in the forest at night?
[09:07] Cross
    If that happens,
[09:08] Cross
    can't we just use that spell of Claire's?
[09:11] Claire
    What? But I might not cast it in time
    if we're caught by surprise.
[09:16] Cross
    Really?
[09:18] Lloyd
    I'll try expanding my search magic.
[09:24] Lloyd
    That's odd.
[09:25] Lloyd
    Something's interfering?
[09:26] Both
    Huh?!
[09:28] Cross
    What's with this mist?
[09:30] Cross
    It's steadily growing thicker.
[09:32] Daggas
    We'll get lost at this rate.
[09:34] Silica
    I'll blow it away with magic.
[09:36] Silica
    Storage!
[09:38] Silica
    Huh? What gives?
[09:40] Lloyd
    It's because of this mist!
[09:42] Lloyd
    It's interfering with our mana!
[09:44] Yui
    Is this some monster's doing?
[09:46] Claire
    No, I've never heard
    of a monster capable of this.
[09:49] Lloyd
    Yeah, this is likely the work...
[09:52] Lloyd
    of demons.
[09:54] Yui
    But won't they be unable
    to detect us in this mist too?
[09:58] Lloyd
    We have no idea what monsters
     we may run into, though.
[10:01] Daggas
    I guess that leaves us but one recourse.
[10:04] Lloyd
    Yeah! Let's flee to Schwerz.
[10:07] Lloyd
    Quickly now!
[10:09] Lowen
    I've taken a look.
[10:11] Merlin
    Your verdict?
[10:12] Lowen
    There's still mana in it.
[10:14] Lowen
    Though it's the remnants of Sybil's power.
[10:18] Merlin
    I see.
[10:19] Merlin
    Then it seems this was Sybil's last will.
[10:23] Lowen
    What do you mean?
[10:25] Merlin
    Do you remember Lloyd?
[10:28] Lowen
    The boy from back then?
[10:30] Lowen
    I heard he secluded himself
    deep in the mountains with you.
[10:34] Merlin
    One day, Lloyd happened
    to touch this grimoire.
[10:39] Merlin
    He was compatible with it too.
[10:41] Merlin
    Lloyd has the potential to be a chosen one.
[10:45] Lowen
    Like you and Sybil?
[10:48] Merlin
    Yes.
[10:49] Lowen
    Still, it's no easy task
    to reach such heights, right?
[10:53] Lowen
    He'd have to master the essence
    of a class and transcend it.
[10:59] Merlin
    But knowing that was a possibility,
[11:02] Merlin
    I wanted him to grow more
    powerful than even Sybil was.
[11:06] Merlin
    So I constantly assigned him
    tasks beyond his ability.
[11:11] Merlin
    Although...
[11:15] Merlin
    Raising a child's nothing like handling magic.
[11:19] Merlin
    I wasn't able to understand how the boy felt.
[11:23] Merlin
    Lloyd left.
[11:25] Merlin
    And right now, he's escorting the empire's
    kidnapped princess back to the capital.
[11:32] Lowen
    Did you come to see him?
[11:34] Merlin
    We've never been apart for this long before...
[11:38] Merlin
    I long to hear his voice again.
[11:52] Yui
    There's no one here?
[11:55] Lloyd
    I can faintly make out buildings.
[11:57] Lloyd
    Silica.
[11:59] Lloyd
    I'll enhance your mana directly.
    Ready your staff.
[12:01] Silica
    R-Right.
[12:03] Silica
    Storage!
[12:06] Silica
    Wind Area!
[12:14] Grist
    All according to plan.
[12:21] Claire
    Grist!
[12:23] Yui
    Who's that?
[12:24] Claire
    The man who kidnapped me.
[12:27] Lloyd
    One of the demon lord's Four Great Generals.
[12:29] Grist
    We still have plenty of use for that woman.
[12:32] Grist
    So we'll be taking her back!
[12:43] Lloyd
    Daggas, guard Claire!
[12:45] Daggas
    Yeah!
[12:46] Daggas
    Storage!
[12:47] Lloyd
    Cross!
[12:51] Cross
    On it!
[12:52] Yui
    Storage!
[12:59] Yui
    Here we go!
[13:04] Lloyd
    Don't use Burst!
[13:06] Lloyd
    It'll hit all of us!
[13:07] Silica
    Right!
[13:08] Silica
    Fireball!
[13:15] Cross
    So that's your play?
[13:16] Cross
    But guess what?!
[13:37] Yui
    Why didn't that—
[13:39] Grist
    Take this!
[13:42] Yui
    Your back...
[13:43] Yui
    is wide open!
[13:51] Yui
    What's going on here?
[13:52] Grist
    You think you can cut me with that?!
[13:57] Lloyd
    Mana armor!
[13:59] Yui
    Huh?! What's that?!
[14:00] Lloyd
    He's protecting himself
    with the mana he's emitting.
[14:04] Grist
    So you saw through me, hmm?
[14:06] Grist
    I see! You must be the savior of Ishtar.
[14:14] Grist
    Die!
[14:15] Silica
    Everyone, get down!
[14:16] Silica
    Burst!
[14:20] Cross
    Whoa.
[14:23] Lloyd
    Did we get him?
[14:24] Cross
    Behind you!
[14:27] Grist
    Is that all you've got?
[14:30] Grist
    Then playtime's over!
[14:34] Yui
    No way!
[14:36] Yui
    Lloyd!
[14:53] Lloyd
    This is...
[14:58] Therion
    I'm not handing Claire over to any demons.
[15:09] Michelle
    This is bad.
[15:11] Michelle
    I need to increase the mist.
[15:13] Will
    Watching from on high, all by yourself?
[15:16] Michelle
    Who are you?
[15:17] Will
    Just a passerby.
[15:20] Will
    Though that's an obvious lie, isn't it?
[15:23] Michelle
    A friend of those adventurers, then?
[15:28] Will
    The mist is getting in the way,
    so I came to cut off the source.
[15:32] Michelle
    Think you can?
[15:36] Will
    Well, seeing through your tricks
[15:39] Will
    is easier than a piece of cake.
[15:42] Will
    Oh, or was that condescending?
[15:46] Michelle
    Trying to act superior?
[15:48] Michelle
    Well, whatever.
[15:50] Michelle
    Either way, I need you to die.
[15:59] Therion
    I was never counting on you to begin with,
[16:01] Therion
    but are the lot of you damn adventurers
    a bunch of nobodies?
[16:07] Claire
    Therion!
[16:09] Therion
    Well, I guess I'll let you off
    the hook since Claire's safe.
[16:14] Lloyd
    You know him?
[16:15] Claire
    Yes!
[16:16] Claire
    This is my childhood friend,
    Therion, the Ice Crystal Hero.
[16:20] Group
    He's a hero?!
[16:22] Lloyd
    Are you the emissary the empire
    sent to collect Claire?
[16:26] Therion
    Huh? Hell no!
[16:28] Therion
    I'm here because I can't entrust
    her to you nobody adventurers.
[16:32] Claire
    That's not a nice thing to say!
[16:37] Yui
    That reminds me...
[16:38] Yui
    I heard rumors that the
    Ice Crystal Hero is ill behaved.
[16:43] Therion
    Yeah, the Sacred Nation refuses
    to recognize me as a hero.
[16:47] Therion
    Well, not that I give a damn about the title.
[16:52] Claire
    Oh! You've held on to that, have you?
[16:57] Yui
    What's up with the bag? It looks awfully old.
[17:00] Claire
    I made it.
[17:02] Claire
    I gave it to him as a birthday
    present when we were young.
[17:05] Yui
    It's handmade? Hmm!
[17:08] Therion
    Huh?! You got something to say?! Come on!
[17:10] Claire
    Stop!
[17:11] Claire
    You're being rude to them.
[17:15] Therion
    Looks like you've been spared!
[17:18] Lloyd
    His attitude's completely different.
[17:20] Lloyd
    Why the one-eighty?
[17:30] Therion
    You're all in my way!
[17:35] Therion
    You're a tough guy, huh?!
[17:46] Therion
    Tch!
[17:48] Grist
    Not only are you using
    magic without a chant,
[17:50] Grist
    you're using your own body in place
     of a staff and you're not freezing.
[17:56] Grist
    You're no ordinary beastfolk, are you?
[17:58] Therion
    I'm physically resistant to ice magic.
[18:04] Therion
    Have been since birth.
[18:05] Grist
    You're resistant?
[18:06] Therion
    Enough talk!
[18:08] Therion
    Even if I explain,
[18:10] Therion
    you're just going to die anyway!
[18:14] Grist
    Futile!
[18:15] Grist
    I've still got more than this!
[18:29] Grist
    Tch!
[18:31] Yui
    Us too!
[18:33] Silica
    Yeah!
[18:34] Therion
    Stay out of this!
[18:35] Both
    Huh?
[18:35] Therion
    I'll defeat that bastard!
[18:37] Therion
    So you all get back!
[18:39] Silica
    You don't have to say it like that.
[18:41] Both
    Right?
[18:49] Michelle
    I thought you might be a
    somewhat entertaining opponent,
[18:52] Michelle
    but it seems I expected too much.
[18:55] Will
    Why go and write me off like that?
[18:59] Michelle
    How did you escape that?!
[19:00] Will
    I told you.
[19:02] Will
    Seeing through your tricks is easier
    than a piece of a cake for me.
[19:09] Will
    Did you eliminate it with a potion?
[19:13] Will
    Just who are you?!
[19:16] Will
    Merely an insignificant alchemist
    who came to get rid of this mist.
[19:20] Michelle
    An alchemist?
[19:22] Michelle
    Don't tell me you're the legendary alchemist!
[19:27] Therion
    Come on, come on! What's the matter?!
[19:29] Therion
    You'll never defeat me if all you do is run!
[19:35] Grist
    How irritating!
[19:37] Therion
    What's the matter?!
[19:38] Therion
    You want to get beaten to death like this?!
[19:41] Claire
    He's not usually quite so foulmouthed,
[19:44] Claire
    but he seems rather angry.
[19:47] Therion
    Come on, come on, come on!
[19:48] Therion
    The thought of seeing you eat it soon—
[19:51] Therion
    Come on, come on!
[19:52] Therion
    —has me hyped up!
[19:54] Therion
    Come on!
[19:58] Yui
    I think I can understand why
    he isn't recognized as a hero.
[20:03] Cross
    It's hard to believe he is one.
[20:06] Daggas
    The way he fights is so chaotic,
    we can't even step in to help!
[20:13] Lloyd
    Why isn't he fighting back?
[20:17] Lloyd
    What's that?
[20:20] Lloyd
    Something bad's coming!
[20:21] Lloyd
    Stay alert!
[20:22] Therion
    Huh?
[20:25] Therion
    Don't you dare order me around!
[20:28] Grist
    Time to finish this!
[20:33] Lloyd
    It's compressed mana!
[20:34] Lloyd
    Everyone, take cover!
[20:36] Yui
    Huh?
[20:36] Lloyd
    Hurry!
[20:37] Daggas
    Jump!
[20:38] Daggas
    Hurry!
[20:39] Yui
    All right!
[20:42] Yui
    What about you?!
[20:43] Daggas
    Storage!
[20:44] Daggas
    You take cover!
[20:45] Daggas
    I'll be fine with this shield!
[20:48] Yui
    Got it!
[20:49] Cross
    Hurry, hurry!
[20:52] Lloyd
    Therion?!
[21:07] Will
    I wasn't expecting such an ace up his sleeve.
[21:10] Will
    I might have slightly underestimated
    the Four Great Generals.
[21:15] Will
    He ran away.
[21:35] Lloyd
    Right!
[21:39] Lloyd
    Thank goodness.
[21:41] Lloyd
    They're alive.
[21:42] Lloyd
    But where are Claire and Therion?
[21:49] Lloyd
    Claire!
[21:50] Grist
    I'll be taking the woman back.
[22:06] Lloyd
    Claire!
