[01:38] Sign
    Lloyd Is Aware He Lacks Power
[01:48] Merlin
    Teleportation is convenient,
    but it's nauseating.
[01:51] Will
    I did design this compound for me, you know.
[02:00] Merlin
    There they are!
[02:05] Will
    I see them.
[02:16] Yui
    What should we do?
[02:17] Cross
    It's blocking our way.
[02:20] Silica
    Air Press!
[02:27] Daggas
    This is bad!
[02:28] Daggas
    What do we do?!
[02:35] Lloyd
    Everyone, against the wall!
[02:37] Yui
    Huh?!
[02:41] Lloyd
    Put your equipment away!
[02:42] Daggas
    Huh?
[02:43] Lloyd
    I'm releasing my gravity magic!
[02:45] Yui
    Got a plan, I take it?
[02:47] Yui
    Storage!
[02:48] Silica
    Storage!
[02:49] Cross
    Storage!
[02:50] Daggas
    Storage!
[02:54] Lloyd
    Here we go!
[02:58] Lloyd
    Everyone, run!
[03:03] Therion
    That's what you were up to.
[03:04] Therion
    Let's go!
[03:28] Lloyd
    Time to escape!
[03:30] Therion
    On it!
[03:47] Lloyd
    Here he comes!
[03:51] Lloyd
    Jump!
[03:52] Cross
    That's reckless!
[03:53] Daggas
    We have no choice!
[03:54] Therion
    Ready?
[03:55] Claire
    Yes!
[04:03] Lloyd
    Therion! Ice!
[04:04] Therion
    I know!
[04:17] Cross
    I thought I was going to die.
[04:19] Daggas
    Don't relax just yet.
[04:21] Silica
    Storage!
[04:29] Silica
    Lloyd!
[04:30] Silica
    Enhance my magic!
[04:32] Lloyd
    Okay!
[04:36] Lloyd
    Don't cast it too soon.
     The timing has to be just right.
[04:41] Silica
    Right.
[04:51] Lloyd
    Now!
[04:52] Silica
    Air Press!
[04:56] Lloyd
    Everyone, jump off!
[05:00] Yui
    Come on, Silica!
[05:01] Silica
    Y-Yeah!
[05:06] Cross
    Heck yeah!
[05:07] Yui
    We're safe!
[05:09] Daggas
    Silica! You did it!
[05:10] Silica
    Yes, somehow or other.
[05:13] Lloyd
    I knew you could, Silica.
[05:15] Silica
    Only thanks to you.
[05:17] Lloyd
    I just cast some enhancement magic.
[05:19] Cross
    There. There it is.
[05:21] Cross
    That's a nice gag you've got going.
[05:24] Yui
    It's become his running joke.
[05:30] Therion
    This guy...
[05:33] Therion
    I've always fought alone.
[05:37] Therion
    Teaming up is for the weak.
[05:40] Therion
    It's easier for me to fight by myself.
[05:43] Therion
    That's what I thought.
[05:47] Therion
    But...
[05:48] Therion
    What is it about Lloyd?
[05:51] Claire
    I don't know. He's a mysterious man.
[05:59] Yui
    Oh no!
[06:14] Claire
    Those monsters were still inside.
[06:18] Therion
    It's not your fault, Claire.
[06:20] Claire
    But...
[06:25] Cross
    No way.
[06:27] Yui
    It's still alive?
[06:41] Cross
    How's that possible?!
[06:43] Yui
    I can't believe it!
[06:47] Lloyd
    Everyone, to the forest!
[06:58] Merlin
    Over there?
[07:00] Merlin
    What are they talking about?
[07:02] Lloyd
    Is everyone all right?
[07:04] Cross
    What on earth is that monster?
[07:06] Yui
    I can't believe those different species
    of monsters fused together...
[07:10] (Flashback) Michelle
    This is—
[07:11] (Flashback) Michelle
    Are the monsters resonating
    with that woman's spell?
[07:15] Lloyd
    Claire, your ancient magic.
[07:18] Claire
    Huh?
[07:19] Lloyd
    That power called out to the demon
    lord's wellspring of vitality.
[07:23] (Flashback) Grist
    Give me the wellspring of vitality.
[07:27] (Flashback) Grist
    Give it to me!
[07:30] (Flashback) Michelle
    The demon lord...
[07:31] (Flashback) Michelle
    is seeking a vessel?
[07:34] Lloyd
    The awakened wellspring of vitality
[07:36] Lloyd
    wants a body for the demon lord's
     revival, so it absorbed those monsters.
[07:40] Claire
    Oh no!
[07:41] Daggas
    So why is that thing coming after us?
[07:45] Lloyd
    I don't know.
[07:50] Daggas
    Is it searching for us?
[07:52] Yui
    Maybe it's still chasing Claire.
[07:56] Claire
    Me?
[07:57] Yui
    Well, he's been transformed,
    but that thing's still Grist, right?
[08:04] Lloyd
    Meaning his mind is still in there?
[08:07] Cross
    An "I ain't going down like this" deal?
[08:15] Daggas
    Could we hide Claire with concealment magic?
[08:18] Lloyd
    No.
[08:19] Lloyd
    That might get us out of this,
[08:20] Lloyd
    but the chimera would still pursue her.
[08:22] Therion
    Then we have to kill it!
[08:30] Silica
    Is there any way we can save the monsters?
[08:41] Lloyd
    Let's have Claire sing again.
[08:45] Lloyd
    Use a song to convey your wish
    to the wellspring of vitality
[08:49] Lloyd
    for the monsters to return to normal.
[08:52] Yui
    Convey her wish?
[08:54] Therion
    What are you talking about?
[08:56] Lloyd
    I'll amplify that power,
[08:59] Lloyd
    and if we then send it to the chimera,
[09:01] Lloyd
    it should restore the monsters.
[09:04] Therion
    I doubt such a thing is even possible!
[09:07] Lloyd
    We can do it.
[09:08] Lloyd
    Trust me.
[09:14] Lloyd
    We have to do something about the chimera.
[09:17] Lloyd
    Please lend me your strength.
[09:29] Claire
    All right.
[09:31] Lloyd
    Thank you.
[09:45] Lloyd
    Let's go.
[09:46] Claire
    Yes.
[09:47] Merlin
    Don't do it, Lloyd!
[09:49] Lloyd
    Master?
[10:01] Merlin
    Don't do it, Lloyd!
[10:04] Lloyd
    Master?
[10:05] Lloyd
    What are you doing here?
[10:07] Merlin
    We can talk later.
[10:09] Merlin
    You musn't touch ancient magic!
[10:12] Lloyd
    I know.
[10:13] Merlin
    You don't know anything!
[10:15] Merlin
    Ancient magic is taboo.
[10:17] Merlin
    It's far too dangerous for anyone who can't
    use it to be involved in casting it!
[10:21] Lloyd
    But if I work together with Claire,
[10:24] Lloyd
    we can make good use of her ancient magic.
[10:32] Lloyd
    After leaving you and meeting
    everyone here, I finally understood.
[10:40] Merlin
    Everyone here?
[10:44] Lloyd
    If I'd remained ignorant of my own power,
[10:46] Lloyd
    I never would have dreamed
    I could pull this off.
[10:50] Merlin
    I thought I taught you
     never to grow overconfident!
[10:53] Lloyd
    This isn't overconfidence.
[10:55] Merlin
    What?
[10:56] Lloyd
    I believe I can do this because
     I know the extent of my power.
[11:02] Lloyd
    Which is also how I know how hard
    it will be to surpass you, Master.
[11:12] Lloyd
    Let's go!
[11:13] Claire
    Yes!
[11:19] Merlin
    Lloyd's just going to support
    her ancient magic...
[11:22] Merlin
    Our tragedy won't repeat itself.
[11:25] Merlin
    I want to believe that, but...
[11:35] Lloyd
    Therion!
[11:38] Therion
    Take this!
[11:45] Lloyd
    Claire, now!
[11:48] Claire
    Okay!
[12:05] Lloyd
    There it is!
[12:05] Lloyd
    Let's go!
[12:25] Lloyd
    Good!
[12:26] Lloyd
    Keep it up!
[12:34] Therion
    What?!
[12:47] Yui
    They did it!
[12:48] Cross
    It worked!
[12:50] Therion
    Incredible.
[12:55] Lloyd
    One last push!
[13:02] Claire
    Lloyd, thank you so—
[13:10] Merlin
    Backlash from the ancient magic?!
[13:13] Claire
    Lloyd!
[13:14] Yui
    At this rate, Lloyd's...
[13:16] Merlin
    He'll be trapped in there forever!
[13:25] Lloyd
    Where am I?
[13:30] Lloyd
    Did I do it?
[13:35] Lloyd
    What?
[13:36] Lloyd
    What's going on?
[13:39] Sybil
    Your mind and body are being forced apart.
[13:42] Lloyd
    Who are you?
[13:46] Lloyd
    Is this...
[13:48] Lloyd
    due to the ancient magic?
[13:51] Sybil
    Ancient magic...
[13:52] Sybil
    was left behind by the people who
    flourished in times long past.
[13:57] Yui
    What? Where are we hearing this from?
[14:01] Sybil
    They were beings who transcended
    the understanding of man,
[14:05] Sybil
    and they possessed the power
    to freely reshape this world's magic.
[14:09] Merlin
    That's Sybil's voice!
[14:13] Sybil
    Life and death, mankind and beasts,
[14:17] Sybil
    lifeless objects and living things,
    even the flow of time...
[14:21] Sybil
    Eventually they meddled with all of
    this world's established boundaries,
[14:24] Sybil
    going so far as to create magic that
    bent the very laws of reality.
[14:30] Sybil
    However, this power to tamper with
    that which never should have been
[14:34] Sybil
    threw the world into chaos and disorder.
[14:38] Sybil
    They were unable to restrain themselves,
    and the world sped toward ruin.
[14:45] Sybil
    Fearing what their own actions had wrought,
[14:48] Sybil
    they banned the use of their power
    as too great for anyone to wield.
[14:52] Lloyd
    And that's...
[14:53] Lloyd
    ancient magic.
[14:55] Sybil
    However, they also anticipated
    there may come a time
[14:58] Sybil
    when the power to bend the laws
    of the world would be necessary,
[15:02] Sybil
    and so they established inheritors
    of this ancient magic.
[15:06] Lloyd
    Claire.
[15:08] Sybil
    At the same time, should anyone abuse
    this power in the world to come,
[15:13] Sybil
    it would risk plunging
    all into ruin once more.
[15:16] Sybil
    Wary of that possibility,
    they cast a spell upon the entire world
[15:22] Sybil
    to destroy anyone but inheritors
     who would dare use it.
[15:25] Sybil
    It activates when ancient magic is cast,
[15:28] Sybil
    forcing the caster's mana
    to go out of control
[15:30] Sybil
    and leading to their demise.
[15:32] Lloyd
    That reminds me. There was a single person
    who managed to use ancient magic. Was that...?
[15:38] Merlin
    Sybil's last words?
[15:44] Sybil
    I used it in battle against the demon lord.
[15:48] Lloyd
    Huh?!
[15:49] Sybil
    At the time, we'd cornered
    the demon lord in an arduous fight.
[15:55] Sybil
    Victory was within our sight.
[15:58] Sybil
    However, our relief at seeing the end
    we'd so longed for left us vulnerable.
[16:05] Sybil
    Certain of his pending defeat,
[16:07] Sybil
    the demon lord took that chance
     to employ his last resort.
[16:22] Lloyd
    Self-destruction.
[16:24] Merlin
    I wasn't able to predict it.
[16:27] Merlin
    That momentary lapse cost Sybil...
[16:31] Sybil
    It wiped out the city and my comrades.
[16:34] Sybil
    Upon witnessing such catastrophe,
[16:37] Sybil
    I used the taboo ancient magic
    at the cost of my own life.
[16:41] Sybil
    I used its power to bend the
    border between life and death,
[16:44] Sybil
    bringing my friends and the
    people of the city back to life.
[16:55] Lloyd
    What?
[16:56] Sybil
    The boundaries of the world are closing.
[17:01] Merlin
    Sybil...
[17:03] Merlin
    Is it taking Lloyd from me this time?
[17:06] Sybil
    Your presence is delaying the
    restoration of the boundary.
[17:10] Sybil
    You can escape right now.
[17:12] Lloyd
    Escape? How?
[17:30] Lloyd
    Everyone!
[17:33] Yui
    Lloyd's always the one helping us!
[17:36] Yui
    Now it's our turn to help him!
[17:38] Cross
    Lloyd! Come this way!
[17:40] Merlin
    Lloyd!
[17:49] Lloyd
    That's my cue.
[18:14] Merlin
    The tear!
[18:16] Yui
    Lloyd!
[18:24] Lloyd
    Everyone!
[18:25] Yui
    Lloyd!
[18:26] Daggas
    Lloyd!
[18:26] Silica
    Lloyd!
[18:33] Cross
    Lloyd!
[18:36] Yui
    Lloyd!
[18:41] Cross
    Don't worry us like that!
[18:43] Yui
    Jeez! You're our friend, you know!
[18:43] Daggas
    Are you okay?
[18:46] Merlin
    Thank you, Sybil.
[18:55] Yui
    Honestly, that was a shock.
[18:57] Yui
    I never thought your master
     was the great sage Merlin!
[19:01] Yui
    Right?
[19:02] Lloyd
    Sage?
[19:03] Lloyd
    She doesn't seem like one to me.
[19:06] Silica
    What are you talking about?!
[19:08] Yui
    You've been comparing yourself
    to someone in another league.
[19:13] Claire
    Everyone, you have my deepest thanks.
[19:19] Claire
    Are you still waiting for the king?
[19:20] Silica
    Yes...
[19:22] Lloyd
    How long is he going to keep us waiting?
[19:24] Daggas
    Watch what you say!
[19:26] Lloyd
    I just said what I was thinking.
[19:29] Cross
    Honest to a fault, huh?
[19:31] Therion
    Hey, Claire.
[19:34] Claire
    What is it?
[19:35] Therion
    Listen, the bag...
[19:38] Claire
    The bag?
[19:40] Therion
    I lost it back in that town.
[19:44] Claire
    Oh, the present I gave you.
[19:47] Therion
    I'm sorry.
[19:48] Therion
    Please forgive me.
[19:50] Claire
    Well...
[19:55] Claire
    I'll just make you another one then.
[19:58] Therion
    Huh?
[19:59] Therion
    O-Oh, really?
[20:01] Therion
    I-I wasn't trying to demand
    anything like that...
[20:04] Cross
    Honest to a fault, huh?
[20:09] Guard
    His Majesty has arrived.
[20:15] Yui
    We got praised by the king!
[20:18] Cross
    He even gave us a bonus reward.
[20:20] Daggas
    I didn't expect him to provide a mansion
[20:23] Daggas
    so that we could work out of the capital.
[20:26] Silica
    Huh?
[20:27] Silica
    Who's that?
[20:28] Lloyd
    A beastfolk child?
[20:31] Lowen
    How rude! I'm an adult!
[20:34] Lowen
    The smell of your mana
    is similar to Merlin's.
[20:38] Lloyd
    My smell?
[20:39] Lowen
    Not your body odor!
[20:40] Lowen
    What do you take me for, a pervert?!
[20:42] Merlin
    Lowen is a friend of mine.
[20:46] Merlin
    She can distinguish mana by its scent.
[20:48] Lowen
    That's right!
[20:49] Lowen
    Lloyd's is different from yours,
[20:51] Lowen
    but the way you control and
    use it is exactly the same.
[20:55] Lloyd
    What's the matter, everyone?
[20:56] Yui
    I told you, she's the great sage Merlin!
[20:59] Daggas
    She's a member of the legendary party!
[21:01] Silica
    To most adventurers, she's like a god!
[21:06] Cross
    You kept quiet about her being
    your master all this time,
[21:09] Cross
    so don't play dumb now.
[21:12] Cross
    Sages are smart.
[21:14] Merlin
    What will you do now? Come home?
[21:25] Lloyd
    I...
[21:27] Lloyd
    want to keep adventuring.
[21:31] Lloyd
    The king also asked us to stay
    in the capital for a while.
[21:36] Lloyd
    So I want to study all kinds of magic,
[21:39] Lloyd
    not just support magic.
[21:42] Lloyd
    Knowing the composition of spells
[21:43] Lloyd
    should prove useful for generating ideas.
[21:47] Merlin
    I see.
[21:49] Lowen
    You really are just like Merlin.
[21:53] Lloyd
    I am?
[21:59] Lloyd
    I don't know if I like that...
[22:01] Merlin
    Huh?

[22:11] Merlin
    I really put you through the wringer.
[22:13] Will
    It's fine.
[22:15] Will
    It was a request from the
    great Merlin, after all.
[22:19] Merlin
    The threat of the demon lord
     isn't completely gone.
[22:23] Merlin
    There will probably come a day
    when we need Lloyd's power.
[22:28] Will
    That's true.
[22:42] Yui
    This is a real nice mansion, isn't it?
[22:44] Daggas
    What an exceptional reception.
[22:47] Cross
    Still, it's been a chaotic rush of events
     ever since we befriended Lloyd.
[22:52] Silica
    We saved Ishtar and even overcame
    the taboo use of ancient magic.
[22:56] Daggas
    You're incredible.
[22:59] Lloyd
    No, I'm still lacking power.
[23:02] Cross
    Really, that's a nice gag you have going.
[23:05] Yui
    He delivers it so naturally too.
[23:08] Daggas
    No... I think he's being serious.
[23:11] Both
    Huh?
[23:12] Cross
    Just that earnest, huh?!
[23:14] Yui
    Well, that's our Lloyd.
[23:34] Silica
