[00:07] Therion
    Stop, damn it!
[00:23] Therion
    That bastard! I'll get him!
[00:26] Therion
    I'll kill him for sure!
[02:00] Lloyd
    My name is Lloyd.
[02:01] Lloyd
    I'm a white mage specialized
    in support magic.
[02:04] Lloyd
    When adventuring, I focus
    on assisting others in combat.
[02:08] Lloyd
    I was taken in as an orphan by my master,
    Merlin, who trained me in magic.
[02:14] Lloyd
    When I tired of that life,
[02:16] Lloyd
    I left home without a word.
[02:18] Lloyd
    Though I was kicked from the
    hero's party for my lack of power,
[02:22] Lloyd
    I got scooped up by an S-rank adventurer.
[02:26] Lloyd
    We've defeated the monsters
    at this farm per our quest,
[02:30] Lloyd
    but I've got a feeling there's
    more to this incident...
[02:34] Lloyd
    If my conjecture is correct,
[02:37] Lloyd
    then the person behind this is after Ishtar.
[02:42] Lloyd
    We've all been duped!
[02:45] Sign
    Episode 5
[02:45] Sign
    Lloyd to the Rescue.
[02:53] Lloyd
    This quest itself was most likely a trap.
[02:58] Yui
    What do you mean?
[03:03] Lloyd
    Sending high-rank adventurers out on quests
[03:06] Lloyd
    gets them away from Ishtar,
[03:08] Lloyd
    and the monsters delayed our return.
[03:12] Yui
    You're saying this was
    to compromise Ishtar's defenses?
[03:16] Cross
    But Ishtar has the hero,
    not to mention the knights.
[03:19] Cross
    The city can't fall that easily, yeah?
[03:23] Lloyd
    That is true, but...
[03:25] Daggas
    The more I think about it,
    the less I can discount Lloyd's hunch.
[03:30] Cross
    Maybe he's right.
[03:31] Cross
    That magistone was strange.
[03:34] Silica
    Then right now, Ishtar's...
[03:40] Yui
    To be safe, let's hurry back to Ishtar!
[03:43] Daggas
    Yeah!
[03:44] Lloyd
    All right.
[04:03] Lloyd
    Okay, let's go.
[04:06] Cross
    Whoa! He's fast!
[04:08] Yui
    Hold up, Lloyd!
[04:09] Yui
    Huh?!
[04:10] Yui
    What is this?!
[04:11] Daggas
    My body feels so light!
[04:17] Yui
    What's going on?!
[04:18] Lloyd
    I just enhanced everyone's speed.
[04:21] Cross
    At it again, huh?
[04:24] Lloyd
    Let's hurry!
[04:32] Grist
    How carefree.
[04:36] Michelle
    Well, if it isn't our great client.
[04:38] Grist
    Stop calling me that.
[04:43] Michelle
    But calling you Great General Grist...
[04:45] Michelle
    is a bit too formal, wouldn't you say?
[04:49] Grist
    You're always joking around.
[04:53] Michelle
    So it's started, has it?
[04:55] Grist
    Yeah. Our vanguard is descending on Ishtar.
[04:59] Michelle
    I see.
[05:00] Grist
    The plan is proceeding smoothly.
[05:02] Michelle
    And I'm sure it will succeed.
[05:06] Michelle
    Thanks to that girl.
[05:09] Grist
    Yeah.
[05:10] Grist
    We'll make her serve us
    in the future to come as well.
[05:15] Michelle
    She's an extremely intriguing individual.
[05:19] Michelle
    There's great value to be had from using her.
[05:23] Grist
    I don't know what you're thinking,
[05:26] Grist
    but people call you the
    demon lord's right hand,
[05:29] Grist
    so I at least have faith in your skills.
[05:33] Michelle
    Well, I'm happy as long as I get paid.
[05:39] Grist
    Hmph.
[05:41] Grist
    You really are a frivolous man.
[05:59] (Flashback) Michelle
    This should be enough potions.
[06:03] (Flashback) Michelle
    Now then, it's time to borrow your power.
[06:28] Cross
    We've made good headway, haven't we?
[06:32] Daggas
    We should be back in Ishtar
    in no time at this pace.
[06:38] Silica
    But isn't this taking
    a big toll on you, Lloyd?
[06:41] Lloyd
    Huh?
[06:42] Silica
    I've heard it requires a lot of mana
    to maintain enhancement magic.
[06:47] Lloyd
    Yeah, that's probably true for anyone
    who isn't used to using it continuously.
[06:52] Lloyd
    Once you get the hang of it,
[06:54] Lloyd
    you can cut down the mana
    consumption quite a bit.
[06:58] Silica
    Once you get the hang of it?
[07:00] Silica
    Are you saying you have, Lloyd?
[07:03] Lloyd
    Well, using it a ton
    kind of forces you to adapt.
[07:09] Lloyd
    Long ago, my master dumped me
    in the woods far from civilization
[07:12] Lloyd
    and made me find my way home
     by myself as training.
[07:17] Lloyd
    Defeating monsters is tough for a white mage.
[07:21] Lloyd
    So running was the most I could do.
[07:23] Lloyd
    I had to cast all kinds of
    enhancement magic just to survive.
[07:30] Lloyd
    It was hell.
[07:33] Yui
    You've sure been through a lot, huh?
[07:35] Lloyd
    I mean, I was just inexperienced.
[07:38] Lloyd
    I'm sure it's a common training exercise.
[07:42] Lloyd
    My master was always fussing at me...
[07:46] (Flashback) Merlin
    You should be able to do it faster.
[07:48] (Flashback) Merlin
    Again!
[07:50] Lloyd
    Though that proved to be good instruction.
[07:53] Yui
    Hang on, hang on.
[07:54] Yui
    Lloyd, I'm pretty sure your training
    was anything but normal.
[07:58] Lloyd
    Huh?
[07:59] Silica
    She's right!
[08:01] Silica
    That's not common at all.
[08:03] Lloyd
    It's not?!
[08:05] Lloyd
    So that didn't even measure
    up to a typical regimen?
[08:09] Silica
    Lloyd?
[08:11] Lloyd
    I see. I should've known.
[08:13] Lloyd
    I certainly haven't trained enough.
[08:16] Silica
    Huh?
[08:17] Lloyd
    No wonder you're S-rank adventurers.
[08:20] Lloyd
    You're on a whole other level.
[08:21] Silica
    Excuse me?
[08:22] Yui
    What are you talking about?
[08:24] Lloyd
    I'll train even harder
[08:26] Lloyd
    and work hard to support you all.
[08:30] Yui
    He's getting the wrong idea again.
[08:32] Silica
    I'm afraid so.
[08:37] Daggas
    Okay, let's go.
[08:45] Yui
    What is it?
[08:46] Lloyd
    My search magic.
[08:49] Yui
    Right.
[08:50] Yui
    We still need to stay on our toes.
[09:14] Silica
    This speed enhancement really is incredible!
[09:17] Yui
    Uh-huh!
[09:18] Yui
    We're running several times faster than
    normal without even getting winded!
[09:26] Yui
    Ow!
[09:30] Cross
    Why'd you suddenly stop?
[09:33] Lloyd
    I'm sensing something with my search magic.
[09:35] Daggas
    Monsters?
[09:36] Lloyd
    No, not that.
[09:38] Silica
    A hunter pursuing their prey, perhaps?
[09:41] Lloyd
    Maybe, but...
[09:45] Lloyd
    What's this?
[09:46] Lloyd
    I've got a bad feeling.
[09:47] Yui
    Lloyd?
[09:50] Lloyd
    Sorry, you guys go on ahead to Ishtar.
[09:53] Both
    Huh?!
[09:54] Lloyd
    I'll be right behind you
    once I check this out.
[09:56] Yui
    Hold on!
[09:57] Yui
    You're worried about what
    you're sensing, aren't you?
[10:00] Yui
    So we're coming with you!
[10:02] Lloyd
    No, I'm just going to check it out.
[10:05] Yui
    But you don't know what it might be,
[10:07] Yui
    and you can't fight alone
    if something happens, right?
[10:10] Lloyd
    That's true...
[10:13] Silica
    We're all in this party together!
[10:15] Cross
    It's only natural to help each other, right?
[10:17] Daggas
    Yeah!
[10:26] Soldier
    Failure isn't an option.
[10:30] Soldier
    We shall display our might once more.
[10:40] Yui
    It's in this hut?
[10:41] Lloyd
    Yeah.
[10:42] Lloyd
    I can sense it clearly
    now that we're closer.
[10:45] Lloyd
    There are demons up ahead.
[10:47] Lloyd
    With a plus one.
[10:48] Yui
    Demons?
[10:49] Yui
    From the magocracy?!
[10:51] Lloyd
    Yeah.
[10:53] (Flashback) Daggas
    Beyond those steep mountains
    lies the magocracy.
[10:56] (Flashback) Lloyd
    The nation of demons...
[10:58] (Flashback) Daggas
    Yeah.
[10:59] (Flashback) Daggas
    They're lying low for now,
[11:01] (Flashback) Daggas
    but who knows when they'll make another
    play at conquering the continent?
[11:04] (Flashback) Lloyd
    That's their goal...
[11:08] Lloyd
    Demons are supposed to be
    strictly prohibited from
[11:11] Lloyd
    entering the continent's three major nations.
[11:14] Cross
    Why are you talking like
    you just remembered that?
[11:17] Yui
    Members of the magocracy have
    been leading invasions forever.
[11:20] Yui
    That doesn't faze you?
[11:22] Lloyd
    Er, I... don't have any memories
     from when I was little.
[11:29] Lloyd
    By the time my master took me in,
     the war was over.
[11:34] Silica
    Are you a war orphan, then?
[11:38] Yui
    I'm sorry for suggesting you didn't care.
[11:40] Lloyd
    It's fine. Don't worry about it.
[11:44] Lloyd
    Anyway, if demons have invaded,
    then the situation is bad.
[11:48] Cross
    Yeah.
[11:49] Cross
    We'll need to report to the knights
    once we're back in Ishtar.
[11:52] Lloyd
    I'd like to gather a bit more information
    before we report this, though.
[11:57] Cross
    Isn't that too dangerous?
[12:00] Lloyd
    It is dangerous, but...
[12:02] Lloyd
    I'm sensing the same mana from
     that magistone near the demons.
[12:06] Yui
    Huh?
[12:07] Daggas
    So they might be connected to whoever
    had that horde attack the farm.
[12:13] Lloyd
    Plus, if they are after Ishtar, then...
[12:17] Lloyd
    I think it's well worth the risk.
[12:21] Yui
    Let's go.
[12:23] Silica
    Yui...
[12:24] Yui
    Come on. They might be after Ishtar, right?
[12:28] Yui
    If we let them go now, they could escape,
[12:31] Yui
    and we can't let demons run free!
[12:33] Yui
    Let's do something about this!
[12:38] Yui
    Yeah!
[12:41] Yui
    Huh?
[12:41] Yui
    What?
[12:43] Cross
    You sound like a leader, you know?
[12:45] Yui
    Wh-What are you saying?
[12:47] Daggas
    You're right.
[12:48] Daggas
    This might lead to a resolution
    for the incident.
[12:51] Daggas
    Let's go.
[13:07] Cross
    There's no one here.
[13:31] Cross
    There's no one here.
[13:39] Lloyd
    Underground?
[13:41] Lloyd
    Right here!
[13:43] Yui
    They're below?
[13:44] Daggas
    Then there has to be an entrance somewhere.
[13:47] Lloyd
    I think we can bypass looking for it.
[13:49] Daggas
    Huh?
[13:50] Lloyd
    You're able to use earth magic, right?
[13:53] Silica
    Yes.
[13:54] Lloyd
    Good.
[14:06] Silica
    Sand Pit!
[14:23] Soldier
    Who are you?
[14:24] Yui
    That's our line.
[14:26] Yui
    What are you all doing in this nation?
[14:28] Yui
    What are you plotting?
[14:47] Lloyd
    One more time, Silica!
[14:49] Silica
    Right! Here I go!
[14:52] Silica
    Sand Pit!
[15:01] Daggas
    Leave this to me!
[15:06] Yui
    You're not getting away!
[15:10] Yui
    It won't open!
[15:11] Cross
    Not on my watch!
[15:19] Yui
    I'm not out of breath at all.
[15:21] Cross
    Well done.
[15:22] Yui
    Thanks for the backup, Cross.
[15:24] Cross
    It was nothing.
[15:26] Lloyd
    Only one remaining.
[15:46] Yui
    Hold it right there!
[15:52] Lloyd
    Yui! Go around and cut him off!
[15:54] Yui
    Roger that!
[15:57] Yui
    Cross! Go right!
[15:59] Cross
    Got it!
[16:03] Lloyd
    There's a powerful magic
    signature inside that cocoon!
[16:06] Lloyd
    Surround them!
[16:07] Daggas
    Okay!
[16:07] Silica
    Right!
[16:12] Yui
    I told you, you're not getting away.
[16:22] Lloyd
    Surrender.
[16:24] Lloyd
    I have questions for you.
[16:26] Soldier
    I have nothing to tell you people!
[16:28] Soldier
    Eat this!
[16:47] Lloyd
    One of the beastfolk?
[16:54] Yui
    We weren't able to get
    anything out of the demons.
[16:58] Daggas
    So this girl's the only one
    who knows what was going on.
[17:02] Silica
    As beastfolk, she's probably
    from the Forres Empire.
[17:06] Cross
    I don't think she'll be doing
    any talking in that state.
[17:09] Daggas
    Can you heal her?
[17:11] Lloyd
    I'll try.
[17:16] Lloyd
    Heal.
[17:19] Silica
    Lloyd, even your healing magic is incredible!
[17:23] Yui
    Seriously. You even cured
    Silvie's magistone transformation.
[17:27] Lloyd
    Well, I've made some improvements to it.
[17:30] Yui
    You improved a spell?!
[17:32] Yui
    Listen, most adventurers
    aren't capable of that.
[17:36] Lloyd
    Huh?
[17:36] Silica
    Being able to tweak magic
    at all is impressive!
[17:40] Lloyd
    Really?
[17:41] Lloyd
    My master often forced me to help her do it.
[17:44] (Flashback) Merlin
    I'm creating a spell to stop aging!
[17:47] (Flashback) Merlin
    Come help me improve healing magic!
[17:50] (Flashback) Merlin
    I've come up with new enhancement magic!
[17:53] (Flashback) Lloyd
    Wh-What?
[17:56] Lloyd
    That said, my master's eccentric.
[17:59] Yui
    I think that's putting it lightly.
[18:09] Yui
    Are you all right?!
[18:11] Yui
    What were you doing there?
[18:13] Yui
    Are you hurt?
[18:13] Yui
    How are you feeling?
[18:15] Yui
    What's your name?
[18:16] Claire
    U-Um...
[18:18] Yui
    Hmm? What's that?
[18:20] Claire
    C-Claire, uh...
[18:22] Yui
    Kureha?
[18:24] Claire
    Huh?
[18:25] Yui
    So your name's Kureha?
[18:27] Claire
    S-Sure.
[18:29] Yui
    Listen, Kureha,
[18:31] Yui
    why were you being held
    captive by those demons?
[18:34] Claire
    W-Well...
[18:37] Lloyd
    We're adventurers.
[18:39] Lloyd
    We received a quest to protect
    a farm from a horde of monsters,
[18:42] Lloyd
    but I sensed beastfolk mana there.
[18:49] Lloyd
    I've heard there are some
[18:51] Lloyd
    who can use magic to command monsters.
[18:57] Lloyd
    That was your power, wasn't it?
[19:04] Claire
    That's right.
[19:06] Claire
    It was my magic.
[19:16] Sign
    Work of Nature
[19:16] Knight
    What?
[19:19] Knight
    Stay there.
[19:21] Knight
    Hey, be careful!
[19:24] Knight
    What is this?
[19:37] Knight
    This is bad! Run!
[19:49] Lloyd
    Kureha, your magic lets you command monsters?
[19:54] Claire
    Yes.
[19:56] Lloyd
    I see.
[19:57] Lloyd
    I'm surprised it's really true.
[20:00] Lloyd
    The power to manipulate monsters
[20:03] Lloyd
    could be extremely dangerous,
    depending on how it's used.
[20:08] Lloyd
    The demons made you do it, didn't they?
[20:12] Claire
    Yes.
[20:14] Claire
    They forced me to.
[20:20] Daggas
    So the demons captured Kureha in order
    to use monsters in their forces.
[20:26] Lloyd
    This clears things up.
[20:28] Lloyd
    Ishtar is being attacked by the magocracy.
[20:31] Daggas
    Yeah.
[20:32] Daggas
    If they seize control of the city,
[20:34] Daggas
    it'll be that much easier
    to invade the continent.
[20:37] Silica
    Which is why they waited until its
    defenses were compromised.
[20:42] Yui
    There's a chance Ishtar's already...
[20:46] Lloyd
    Let's get back as fast as possible.
[20:50] Lloyd
    I'm sorry for making you run.
[20:54] Claire
    No, I'd be in more trouble
    if you left me behind.
[21:00] Cross
    We should be able to see Ishtar soon.
[21:02] Daggas
    I hope we make it in time.
[21:05] Lloyd
    Hang in there a bit longer.
[21:07] Claire
    Thank you.
[21:14] Claire
    What's the matter?
[21:16] Lloyd
    A horde of monsters.
[21:17] Claire
    Huh?!
[21:18] Yui
    Headed toward Ishtar?
[21:20] Lloyd
    Yeah.
[21:20] Lloyd
    But that's not all.
[21:22] Lloyd
    There's a rather large army behind them.
[21:25] Yui
    Lloyd, what do we do?
[21:31] Lloyd
    Kureha, I'd like to borrow your power.
[21:34] Kureha
    My power?
[21:36] Lloyd
    You guys go warn the city
    and prepare for battle.
[21:41] Yui
    But...
[21:42] Lloyd
    One person can't be in two places at once.
[21:45] Lloyd
    You need friends for that.
[22:01] Lloyd
    I'm counting on you guys!
