[00:00] Lloyd
    My name is Lloyd.
[00:02] Lloyd
    I'm a white mage specialized
    in support magic.
[00:05] Lloyd
    When adventuring, I focus
    on assisting others in combat.
[00:09] Lloyd
    I'm heading to some farmland
    with the party that took me in
[00:12] Lloyd
    in order to help them defeat monsters,
[00:15] Lloyd
    though I still lack power.
[00:17] Lloyd
    But if I can still prove useful somehow,
[00:20] Lloyd
    then I want to help them.
[00:22] Lloyd
    I need to train myself even more.
[00:33] Lloyd
    That powlurk procession was clearly unusual.
[00:37] Lloyd
    It was like the entire pack
    was heading somewhere.
[00:41] Lloyd
    Perhaps we ought to be
    a degree more cautious.
[00:45] Yui
    Lloyd?
[00:46] Yui
    Lloyd!
[00:48] Yui
    Listen, Lloyd...
[00:50] Yui
    Are you keeping watch solo again tonight?
[00:52] Lloyd
    Yeah, that was my plan.
[00:54] Silica
    You'll ruin your health doing this
    so many nights in a row.
[00:58] Silica
    We can take shifts like normal.
[01:00] Lloyd
    No, I'm fine.
[01:02] Lloyd
    I want you all to conserve your stamina
     in case something happens.
[01:06] Yui
    But that leaves you to just...
[01:08] Lloyd
    I'm used to all-nighters.
[01:10] Lloyd
    Besides, I'm still green.
[01:13] Lloyd
    This is about all I can do to help.
[01:15] Yui
    That's not true!
[01:17] Yui
    You're an important—
[01:19] Silica
    Yui.
[01:20] Yui
    Silica...
[01:22] Silica
    Lloyd, if it ever gets to be too tough,
     you'll tell us, won't you?
[01:27] Lloyd
    Yeah, roger that.
SIGN    Episode 4
SIGN    Lloyd Gives Support.
[03:30] Lloyd
    Phew.
[03:32] Lloyd
    Nothing amiss.
[03:33] Yui
    Lloyd, what are you doing?
[03:36] Lloyd
    I was using search magic to see
    if there are any monsters nearby.
[03:39] Yui
    Search?
[03:41] Yui
    You can use magic like that too?!
[03:43] Lloyd
    It's nothing impressive.
[03:45] Lloyd
    I can't search very wide
     of an area, after all.
[03:48] Lloyd
    Though it's better than nothing.
[03:51] Lloyd
    I plan to cast it at regular intervals
[03:54] Lloyd
    to make sure our surroundings are safe.
[03:56] Lloyd
    That should help prevent any
    surprise attacks from monsters.
[04:00] Yui
    That's incredibly helpful.
[04:02] Yui
    But doesn't that put too much
    of the burden on you?
[04:05] Lloyd
    No, it's not a problem.
[04:07] Yui
    Really?
[04:09] Lloyd
    Yeah.
[04:12] Yui
    Th-Then, hey, is there
    anything we can do to help?
[04:16] Lloyd
    Not particularly.
[04:20] Yui
    I see.
[04:30] Yui
    I wonder if Lloyd doesn't trust us...
[04:34] Yui
    He's great to have around,
    since he can do anything,
[04:38] Yui
    but it's kinda sad that he can't count on us.
[04:41] Yui
    Especially now that we're friends.
[04:44] Silica
    That's just how it is.
[04:45] Silica
    Everyone goes at their own speed.
[04:48] Yui
    What?
[04:49] Silica
    We weren't that close at first either, right?
[04:54] Silica
    We're where we are now because
     of all the time we've spent together.
[04:58] Silica
    There must be a reason for the discrepancy
    between his ability and self-esteem,
[05:01] Silica
    not to mention why he works so hard.
[05:04] Silica
    Wouldn't you agree?
[05:06] Yui
    Lloyd is a big mystery
    when you think about that.
[05:10] Yui
    He knows so little about the world,
    yet so much about other stuff.
[05:13] Yui
    I wonder what kind of life
    he lived before now.
[05:16] Silica
    I'm sure he'll tell us
    about it himself one day.
[05:21] Silica
    Until then, I think we should just
    take it easy without rushing him.
[05:26] Yui
    I see.
[05:28] Yui
    You're right.
[05:29] Yui
    Thanks, Silica.
[05:31] Silica
    It's nothing.
[05:32] Silica
    Besides, the truth may be way
    different from what I'm imagining.
[05:37] Silica
    Lloyd is pretty unusual.
[05:45] Daggas
    Hard at work, eh?
[05:47] Lloyd
    Daggas.
[05:48] Daggas
    There's something I'd like your help with.
[05:51] Daggas
    Could you come with me?
[05:52] Lloyd
    I don't mind,
[05:54] Lloyd
    but then no one would be...
[05:55] Cross
    Go on.
[05:57] Cross
    I'll take watch.
[06:02] Cross
    Now then, what's going to happen there?
[06:07] Daggas
    There. It's complete.
[06:10] Lloyd
    Daggas, what's this?
[06:12] Daggas
    It's a specially made clapper.
[06:14] Daggas
    If a monster approaches,
     they'll make noise and let us know.
[06:18] Lloyd
    I see. That's convenient.
[06:21] Daggas
    It is. So get some rest tonight, Lloyd.
[06:25] Lloyd
    I appreciate your kindness,
    but that isn't necessary.
[06:27] Daggas
    This is how we used to sleep
    before you joined the party.
[06:32] Daggas
    Don't put yourself out.
[06:33] Lloyd
    But still...
[06:35] Lloyd
    If I'm asleep, I can't cast search magic.
[06:38] Lloyd
    I should keep watch.
[06:38] Daggas
    Lloyd, is it that you can't trust us?
[06:42] Lloyd
    I mean, I don't doubt the
    functionality of the clapper.
[06:46] Lloyd
    I just think it's better to be
    extra cautious so we're certain.
[06:49] Daggas
    That's not what I mean.
[06:53] Daggas
    I'm asking if you can't trust us.
[06:56] Lloyd
    What?!
[06:57] Lloyd
    Of course I trust you!
[06:59] Daggas
    Yet you keep handling scouting
     and night watch all by yourself,
[07:03] Daggas
    without involving us.
[07:05] Daggas
    You can see why someone might take
     that as a sign you think us untrustworthy.
[07:10] Lloyd
    No way...
[07:12] Lloyd
    I just...
[07:14] (Flashback) Merlin
    You're still inexperienced.
[07:16] (Flashback) Allen
    You're useless. Not to mention an eyesore.
[07:20] Lloyd
    If I don't work hard,
[07:23] Lloyd
    I'll just cause problems for everyone else.
[07:25] Daggas
    Then go ahead and cause us problems.
[07:27] Lloyd
    Huh?
[07:28] Daggas
    Why do you think we formed
    a party in the first place?
[07:31] Daggas
    So we could handle things together
    that we couldn't on our own.
[07:35] Daggas
    It's a given we'll cause
    problems for each other.
[07:39] Daggas
    You should rely on your friends more, Lloyd.
[07:42] Lloyd
    Rely on you...?
[07:44] Daggas
    That's right.
[07:45] Lloyd
    I-I never even considered that.
[07:50] Daggas
    What kind of environment
    have you been in so far?
[07:52] Lloyd
    But, I mean, are you sure that's all right?
[07:55] Lloyd
    For someone lacking power
    like me to rely on others?
[07:59] Daggas
    No one in this party thinks
     you lack power, Lloyd.
[08:06] Lloyd
    Daggas...
[08:08] Daggas
    Now go back and get some rest.
[08:10] Daggas
    Morning comes early.
[08:21] Lloyds
    Friends, huh?
[08:33] Lloyd
    Yui.
[08:34] Yui
    Good morning, Lloyd.
[08:36] Lloyd
    Yeah, good morning.
[08:39] Lloyd
    Say, um...
[08:45] Lloyd
    W-Would you help me draw some water?
[08:55] Yui
    Yeah, of course!
[09:07] MagicSoldier
    Reporting.
[09:09] MagicSoldier
    We've finished setting up magistones
    at the designated coordinates.
[09:13] Michelle
    I see.
[09:16] Michelle
    Now the path has been opened.
[09:20] Michelle
    What about the high-rank adventurers
    operating out of Ishtar?
[09:24] Soldier
    The damage wreaked by the monsters we
    collected has swamped them with quests,
[09:28] Soldier
    so most of them are out of the city.
[09:30] Michelle
    So we successfully lured them away.
[09:34] Soldier
    All that remain are a few low-rank
    adventurers and the hero's party.
[09:39] Michelle
    I was hoping we could
    keep them away from the city,
[09:43] Michelle
    but the hero only acts upon
    requests from the nation.
[09:46] Michelle
    We'll have to accept it.
[09:48] Michelle
    In fact, it'll be interesting to see
    how the hero's party fares on their own.
[09:55] Michelle
    Go inform our client:
[09:58] Michelle
    "It's time."
[10:00] Soldier
    As you command, Lord Michelle.
[10:14] Yui
    Something's wrong with this forest.
[10:18] Daggas
    I agree.
[10:19] Silica
    True.
[10:20] Silica
    It's far too unnatural.
[10:22] Cross
    We haven't seen a single monster
[10:25] Cross
    since we entered this neck of the woods.
[10:28] Cross
    It'd be one thing if this was the main road,
[10:30] Cross
    but it's usually impossible
    not to sense something this deep in.
[10:36] Yui
    Hey.
[10:38] Yui
    Are you doing anything
    with your magic, Lloyd?
[10:40] Lloyd
    No.
[10:41] Lloyd
    I'm using my search magic periodically,
[10:44] Lloyd
    but that doesn't do anything
    to keep monsters away.
[10:46] Yui
    I see.
[10:48] Daggas
    Then what exactly is going on here?
[10:51] Lloyd
    I'll try expanding my search area a bit.
[11:00] Yui
    Lloyd, did you learn anything?
[11:03] Lloyd
    I confirmed a pack of monsters
    roughly ten kilometers ahead.
[11:07] Others
    Huh?!
[11:08] Cross
    That direction puts them around the
    farm we're heading to now, doesn't it?
[11:13] Lloyd
    Yeah, to be specific they're—
[11:15] Yui
    H-Hold on a second!
[11:17] Yui
    Ten kilometers? You're able
    to search everything in that range?
[11:21] Lloyd
    Yeah, and?
[11:22] Yui
    The other day, you said you
    couldn't search a large area!
[11:25] Lloyd
    Yeah.
[11:26] Lloyd
    Ten kilometers isn't very far at all.
[11:29] Yui
    Wh-Wh-Wh-Wha...
[11:31] Silica
    That's ten times the range
    of the average person.
[11:35] Lloyd
    S-Still, expanding the search area
    drastically increases mana consumption,
[11:41] Lloyd
    so it's not very convenient.
[11:43] Yui
    That's not the issue here!
[11:45] Daggas
    Yui, I understand how you feel,
[11:47] Daggas
    but this isn't the most pressing thing.
[11:49] Cross
    Your heart won't hold out if you
    keep letting Lloyd rock you.
[11:53] Silica
    That's true.
[11:54] Silica
    For now, let's head to the location.
[11:58] Lloyd
    Did I say something bad?
[12:03] Lloyd
    It looks certain that the pack of monsters
    is at the farm that issued the quest.
[12:08] Yui
    I'd heard that there were lots,
[12:11] Yui
    but this many is abnormal.
[12:30] Lloyd
    This isn't right.
[12:31] Yui
    Yeah.
[12:33] Yui
    I've never seen such a
    large pack of high wolves.
[12:37] Lloyd
    No, not that.
[12:39] Yui
    Huh?
[12:40] Lloyd
    This is the only location my search
    magic detected any monsters.
[12:44] Lloyd
    So then where have all
    the other monsters gone?
[12:47] Silica
    Good question.
[12:49] Silica
    The forest should be full
    of other powerful monsters,
[12:52] Silica
    so it's hard to imagine this is
     the result of natural competition.
[12:56] Cross
    There weren't any signs
    of fighting in the woods.
[13:00] Daggas
    I find it hard to believe monsters would
    abandon their territory for no reason.
[13:04] Lloyd
    Where's the current owner of this farm?
[13:07] Yui
    Uh, I heard they were
    wounded by a high wolf
[13:11] Yui
    and evacuated to their son's house in the city.
[13:14] Lloyd
    I see.
[13:15] Lloyd
    I was hoping to ask a few questions
    to find some clues about what's going on.
[13:20] Cross
    Hey!
[13:21] Cross
    Look at that!
[13:23] Yui
    At what?
[13:26] Cross
    That there! Right over there!
[13:28] Cross
    That black, creepy stone-like thing!
[13:30] Yui
    I can't see anything!
[13:32] Silica
    Our eyes aren't as good as yours.
[13:36] Lloyd
    I can't see anything either.
[13:38] Lloyd
    In that case...
[13:51] Lloyd
    There it is.
[13:52] Yui
    Huh?!
[13:53] Lloyd
    That certainly is strange.
[13:55] Yui
    You can see it too, Lloyd?
[13:57] Lloyd
    I used enhancement magic
    to improve my vision.
[14:00] Lloyd
    Should I cast it on everyone?
[14:01] Yui
    Please!
[14:07] Yui
    Hmm...
[14:10] Yui
    Just as Cross said, that's one creepy stone.
[14:13] Daggas
    Is it some kind of magistone?
[14:15] Silica
    I'm concerned about that
    black mist hanging around it.
[14:18] Lloyd
    That's likely a portion of its mana.
[14:21] Lloyd
    But this sensation...
[14:24] Lloyd
    It's the mana of beastfolk.
[14:25] Yui
    Of beastfolk?
[14:27] Lloyd
    I heard this from my master.
[14:30] Lloyd
    She mentioned some beastfolk can use
    an unusual spell to command monsters.
[14:35] Yui
    So you think this magistone also
    has the power to do that?
[14:41] Lloyd
    Don't tell me—
[14:46] Lloyd
    I just picked up something
    with my search magic.
[14:48] Lloyd
    Another horde is now headed this way.
[14:51] Yui
    What?!
[14:52] Daggas
    What can you tell us?
[14:54] Lloyd
    It's a jumble of all kinds of monsters.
[14:57] Lloyd
    Easily over a thousand of them.
[15:01] Lloyd
    That magistone is likely the cause.
[15:03] Lloyd
    It probably has the power to lure monsters.
[15:06] Yui
    But why would anyone do that?
[15:09] Lloyd
    Is someone trying to get rid of us?
[15:12] Lloyd
    No, this is too roundabout for that.
[15:15] Lloyd
    They're likely after something else.
[15:18] Cross
    We should fall back for now, right?
[15:21] Yui
    No!
[15:22] Yui
    They'll ruin the fields!
[15:24] Cross
    You wanna go head-to-head
    with over a thousand monsters?!
[15:27] Yui
    W-Well...
[15:29] Daggas
    I'm also doubtful we can escape.
[15:32] Silica
    If the monsters catch us
     and we clash near the town,
[15:37] Silica
    the residents may end up as collateral damage.
[15:41] Lloyd
    Let's engage.
[15:43] Lloyd
    I have a plan.
[15:46] Lloyd
    First, we do something
    about that magistone.
[15:49] Lloyd
    Can you shoot it, Cross?
[15:50] Cross
    Hmm...
[15:52] Cross
    It's pretty far away.
[15:54] Cross
    I think I can hit it,
[15:56] Cross
    but I'm not sure I can break it.
[15:58] Lloyd
    That's plenty. I'm counting on you.
[16:01] Cross
    S-Sure.
[16:09] Lloyd
    I'll provide support
    to make up for firepower.
[16:30] Cross
    Whoa!
[16:32] Cross
    What did you do to my arrow?
[16:33] Cross
    That was incredible force!
[16:35] Lloyd
    I just cast enhancement magic
    on you, your bow, and your arrows.
[16:41] Cross
    You can enhance people and
    weapons at the same time?!
[16:45] Lloyd
    That's just standard, isn't it?
[16:47] Cross
    No, it's not...
[16:49] Lloyd
    Besides, all I did was
    apply enhancement magic.
[16:53] Lloyd
    It was your skill that scored a hit
    at this distance in one shot.
[16:57] Cross
    Y-Yeah!
[16:59] Cross
    This is throwing me off.
[17:01] Yui
    Hey! Everyone, look!
[17:03] Yui
    The high wolves are...
[17:05] Lloyd
    Shattering the magistone
    restored their natural ferocity.
[17:10] Lloyd
    They won't wipe each other out,
[17:12] Lloyd
    but this should reduce their numbers.
[17:14] Yui
    Incredible...
[17:15] Yui
    Did you know this would happen?
[17:18] Lloyd
    It was obvious the monsters were being
    manipulated by the magistone, yeah.
[17:22] Lloyd
    I was hoping that would
    stop the horde as well.
[17:28] Lloyd
    But it doesn't look like that's happening.
[17:45] Yui
    Here they come!
[17:46] Daggas
    There are so many of them!
[17:51] Yui
    Lloyd!
[17:53] Lloyd
    Not yet.
[17:58] Yui
    Hey! Is it time yet?!
[18:00] Lloyd
    Just a little more.
[18:09] Lloyd
    Now!
[18:10] Lloyd
    Silica!
[18:13] Silica
    Firestorm!
[18:24] Yui
    Wow, the flames...
[18:25] Daggas
    They're much stronger than normal.
[18:28] Yui
    Lloyd, what did you do to Silica?
[18:31] Lloyd
    I just cast the enhancement spells Magic
    Power Boost and Mana Consumption Reduction.
[18:36] Lloyd
    Oh, was that not enough?
[18:37] Yui
    Th-That's all, huh?
[18:42] Lloyd
    Silica, can you keep going?
[18:44] Silica
    I'm good for another five.
[18:46] Lloyd
    Good. Once that's finished,
    please switch to wind magic.
[18:51] Lloyd
    Cross, sorry for the wait.
[18:53] Cross
    It's about time.
[18:54] Cross
    The flames enhanced by wind magic
     are burning the monsters and forest.
[18:59] Cross
    This smoke should make it rather
    hard for flying monsters to see, too.
[19:03] Lloyd
    Now, here we go.
[19:04] Cross
    Yeah, if you'd please.
[19:10] Lloyd
    Can you hear me, Cross?
[19:12] Cross
    So this is Telepathy, huh?
[19:14] Cross
    Wow, I can hear your words
    directly in my head.
[19:18] Lloyd
    Okay, I'm going to share the monsters'
    positions revealed by my search magic.
[19:25] Lloyd
    Well, can you see them?
[19:26] Cross
    Perfectly!
[19:28] Cross
    Now it doesn't matter
    if there's smoke or not!
[19:36] Lloyd
    Everything's going smoothly so far.
[19:39] Lloyd
    Silica!
[19:40] Lloyd
    We're entering the final phase!
[19:42] Silica
    Got it!
[19:43] Silica
    But I'm almost completely out of mana.
[19:45] Lloyd
    Not an issue.
[19:46] Lloyd
    Take my hand.
[19:47] Silica
    Huh?
[19:55] Silica
    Is this...
[19:56] Silica
    Mana Transfer?!
[20:03] Silica
    Lloyd!
[20:05] Silica
    I just gave you too much mana at once.
[20:08] Silica
    More importantly, hurry!
[20:10] Silica
    A-All right!
[20:11] Silica
    Lluvia!
[20:30] Lloyd
    That should prevent any wildfires.
[20:33] Silica
    Yes.
[20:34] Silica
    But now I'm... really out of mana...
[20:40] Daggas
    Whoa there.
[20:43] Daggas
    You did well.
[20:44] Yui
    Get some rest, Silica!
[20:46] Yui
    We'll go make quick work of the leftovers.
[20:49] Silica
    Please don't push yourself too hard.
[20:52] Yui
    Man, I don't want to hear
    that from you right now.
[20:55] Yui
    And you, Lloyd!
[20:57] Yui
    You're really incredible!
[20:58] Yui
    I can't believe you devised
    a strategy like this!
[21:01] Lloyd
    It's nothing that impressive.
[21:03] Lloyd
    I only did what any support member would.
[21:06] Yui
    You're giving us that again?
[21:08] Yui
    Well, whatever.
[21:09] Yui
    Leave the rest to us!
[21:12] Lloyd
    Yeah, I'm counting on you.
[21:21] Lloyd
    I can't believe I'm worn out after this.
[21:25] Lloyd
    I really do still have a long way to go.
[23:04] Yui
    Lloyd's enhancement magic
    really is incredible.
[23:10] Daggas
    We're done exterminating the monsters.
[23:12] Cross
    Good work.
[23:14] Yui
    Silica, how are you feeling?
[23:16] Silica
    I'm fine.
[23:17] Silica
    I've gotten a good bit of rest.
[23:19] Lloyd
    Yui, let's hurry back to town.
[23:21] Yui
    Huh?!
[23:22] Yui
    But we're all exhausted.
[23:24] Yui
    Is there some reason we need to hurry?
[23:27] Lloyd
    If my conjecture is correct,
[23:30] Lloyd
    then the person behind this
[23:32] Lloyd
    is after Ishtar.
[23:33] Group
    Huh?
[23:35] Lloyd
    We've all been duped.
