[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.
[00:10] Lloyd
    I was kicked out of the hero's party,
[00:12] Lloyd
    and then I defeated a horde of monsters
[00:14] Lloyd
    with my new allies on a quest
    they accepted from a farm.
[00:18] Lloyd
    However, we realized the quest
    was just a diversion
[00:22] Lloyd
    to lure adventurers away from Ishtar,
[00:25] Lloyd
    so we sped back to warn
    the city of the danger.
[00:28] Lloyd
    Along the way,
[00:29] Lloyd
    we rescued Kureha of the beastfolk,
[00:31] Lloyd
    who was held captive by demons.
[00:34] Lloyd
    They were abusing her magic
    to make monsters go berserk.
[00:39] Lloyd
    After that, I detected a horde
    of them heading for Ishtar.
[00:44] Lloyd
    Without intervention,
    they would destroy the city.
[00:47] Lloyd
    So Kureha and I split off from the group
    to put our plan into motion.
[00:53] Allen
    Every last one of these people
     is completely useless!
[00:58] Allen
    Damn it!
[00:59] Allen
    What's going on here?
[01:00] Allen
    Don't they know they're applying to my party?
[01:06] Allen
    These support mages are even worse
    than that last piece of trash.
[01:11] Allen
    I won't stoop to considering someone
     who can't at least use storage magic.
[01:16] Sheena
    It doesn't appear any
     of the applicants can use it.
[01:19] Miiya
    And it seems they can cast at most
    two enhancement spells simultaneously.
[01:24] Allen
    Tch! Are all supports a
    bunch of incompetent fools?
[01:29] Lina
    Have you ever considered
     that Lloyd was exceptional?
[01:32] Allen
    That piece of trash, exceptional?
[01:34] Allen
    You're joking, right?
[01:38] Lulu
    What do we do?
[01:39] Lulu
    Just go without a support for now?
[01:41] Allen
    Well...
[01:46] Allen
    Enter!
[01:48] Knight
    Pardon me, Hero!
[01:50] Allen
    The knights, eh? What do you need?
[01:53] Knight
    We received word from troops
     patrolling the forest.
[01:57] Knight
    As we speak,
[01:58] Knight
    a horde of monsters is advancing on Ishtar!
[02:01] Knight
    They number over ten thousand!
[02:05] Knight
    We're establishing defensive lines now.
[02:08] Knight
    We'd like to ask your aid in defeating them.
[02:15] Allen
    Sure thing.
[02:16] Allen
    Leave this to your hero, Allen.
[02:19] Knight
    Goodness!
[02:20] Knight
    That's reassuring to hear!
[02:22] Knight
    I'll let everyone know!
[02:24] Knight
    Excuse me!
[02:29] Sheena
    Are you sure about this, Allen?
[02:32] Allen
    This is a request handed down from the king.
[02:34] Allen
    No way I could turn that down.
[02:37] Allen
    Besides, it's a good opportunity.
[02:39] Allen
    We'll show off here and demonstrate
    to the populace how strong I am!
[04:19] Sign
    Episode 6
[04:19] Sign
    Lloyd Frees Them.
[04:27] Lloyd
    I knew there'd be another horde.
[04:30] Claire
    That's an incredible number of monsters.
[04:33] Lloyd
    It's the size of the group approaching Ishtar.
[04:36] Lloyd
    No, maybe even larger.
[04:39] Lloyd
    If a pack this big joins the attackers,
[04:41] Lloyd
    Ishtar won't stand a chance.
[04:45] Lloyd
    It's a good thing our party split up.
[04:49] Lloyd
    We have to wipe out this horde somehow.
[04:53] Claire
    Lloyd...
[04:56] Claire
    Is possible to stop the monsters
    without hurting them?
[05:01] Claire
    These creatures are just being manipulated.
[05:05] Claire
    They were forced into this by
    the power the demons stole from me.
[05:08] Claire
    I never wanted this conflict!
[05:11] Claire
    I don't want to harm these creatures further!
[05:17] Lloyd
    You really care about the monsters, don't you?
[05:22] Claire
    Yes.
[05:23] Lloyd
    All right.
[05:24] Lloyd
    I'll think of a way to free the horde
    with as little harm as possible.
[05:29] Claire
    You mean it?
[05:30] Lloyd
    It's always best to resolve
     things without killing.
[05:33] Claire
    Thank you so much!
[05:36] Lloyd
    Kureha, can you send the monsters back
    to their homes with your magic?
[05:42] Claire
    Good question.
[05:43] Claire
    Given how many there are, I'm not sure.
[05:46] Lloyd
    I can supplement your mana
    and augment your spell.
[05:50] Lloyd
    Would that be enough?
[05:55] Claire
    I'm on board.
[05:56] Claire
    I'll try it.
[06:20] Lloyd
    Kureha?
[06:22] Claire
    My spell was blocked.
[06:24] Lloyd
    Blocked?
[06:25] Claire
    There's something in the forest.
[06:28] Allen
    You're the adventurers
    participating in this fight?
[06:32] Allen
    You look weaker than I expected.
[06:34] Adventurers
    Wha?!
[06:36] Adventurers
    What was that, you bastard?!
[06:36] Sheena
    Apparently all the A-rank and higher
     adventurers are out right now.
[06:40] Allen
    So these are all B-rank or lower.
[06:43] Allen
    Yeah, they sure look like it.
[06:47] Allen
    Well, they'll do for meat shields at least.
[06:50] Allen
    Just do your best not to drag me down.
[06:52] Adventurer
    This bastard keeps insulting us!
[06:55] Adventurer
    Calm down!
[06:56] Adventurer
    We're dealing with the hero!
[06:59] Allen
    Great, so they're dumb and weak.
[07:02] Adventurers
    What'd you say?!
[07:04] Urgo
    That's enough of that.
[07:07] Adventurer
    The guild branch director!
[07:08] Urgo
    We are here to face the monsters.
[07:11] Urgo
    We haven't the time
     to fight amongst ourselves.
[07:14] Urgo
    Isn't that right?
[07:17] Allen
    Hmph.
[07:18] Allen
    Listen up, adventurers!
[07:20] Allen
    I'll let you in on my plan.
[07:23] Allen
    First, our mages will unleash
    their most powerful spells!
[07:27] Allen
    Make it a big, showy blast!
[07:29] Allen
    I expect each of you to take out
     at least ten that way.
[07:32] Allen
    Then myself, the knights, and our fighters
    will clash with the monsters and buy time!
[07:38] Allen
    Once the mages recover enough mana,
    they'll fire another round of spells.
[07:42] Allen
    We'll keep repeating that.
[07:44] Allen
    It should be more than enough
    against a bunch of monsters.
[07:48] Adventurer
    Is he being serious?
[07:50] Allen
    What? Got something to say?
[07:53] Adventurer
    Um, I'm a mage myself,
[07:55] Adventurer
    but I can't use magic that powerful.
[07:58] Adventurer
    Felling even one is the most
    I can do with my best shot.
[08:01] Adventurer
    Taking out a horde's impossible.
[08:03] Allen
    Don't be ridiculous!
[08:04] Allen
    All of you should be able to pull that off!
[08:07] Miiya
    I'm not confident either.
[08:09] Allen
    Miiya?
[08:10] Allen
    What are you saying?
[08:12] Miiya
    The power of my spells
    has dropped off recently.
[08:15] Miiya
    I can't use magic like I did before.
[08:18] Allen
    Huh?!
[08:20] Allen
    Why would you keep quiet
    about something so important?!
[08:22] Miiya
    I'm not the only one who's out of sorts.
[08:26] Miiya
    Lulu and Sheena are feeling it too.
[08:28] Miiya
    Even Lina.
[08:30] Allen
    Since when?
[08:32] Lulu
    Since Lloyd left, I think.
[08:35] Allen
    Are you shitting me?!
[08:37] Allen
    You've all been deceiving me?!
[08:39] Lina
    No one's deceived you.
[08:41] Allen
    Huh?!
[08:42] Lina
    You're the only one who
    didn't pick up on it, Allen.
[08:45] Lina
    Because you've grown complacent as a hero
[08:48] Lina
    and haven't done any training in a while.
[08:51] Allen
    Wha?!
[08:52] Adventurer
    What does she mean?
[08:53] Adventurer
    He hasn't been training?
[08:56] Allen
    Lina, how dare you?!
[08:57] Lina
    You aren't fit to call yourself a hero.
[09:00] Allen
    Why, you—
[09:02] Allen
    Screw you!
[09:06] Lina
    Get out already.
[09:07] Allen
    H-How are you...
[09:12] Allen
    Wh-What?
[09:16] Allen
    Damn it!
[09:18] Allen
    Don't blame me for whatever happens!
[09:21] Sheena
    Allen! Please wait!
[09:25] Adventurer
    That's what the hero's like?
[09:27] Adventurer
    He's nothing like the rumors say.
[09:29] Adventurer
    What'll we do about the monster horde?
[09:31] Adventurer
    All we can do is run.
[09:34] Lina
    Stay calm, everyone!
[09:37] Adventurer
    Lina?
[09:38] Adventurer
    You're staying?
[09:40] Lina
    Yes. I'll be leaving Allen's party.
[09:43] Lina
    Please let me fight alongside all of you.
[09:46] Adventurer
    Of course!
[09:47] Adventurer
    You're worth a hundred men!
[09:51] Lina
    If you don't mind, I already have a proposal.
[09:55] Lina
    Do any of you know a man named Lloyd?
[09:59] Claire
    That's what's responsible.
[10:01] Lloyd
    That magistone is...
[10:03] Claire
    You're familiar with it?
[10:05] Lloyd
    Yeah, I found one in a different spot.
[10:08] Claire
    That magistone is imbued with an evil
    power that's interfering with my spell.
[10:14] Lloyd
    So we just need to nullify it?
[10:16] Claire
    Yes.
[10:17] Claire
    Though, given the size of the horde,
[10:19] Claire
    there are probably multiple magistones.
[10:21] Claire
    Unless we deal with all of them,
[10:24] Claire
    I won't be able to control
    the monsters with my spell.
[10:28] Lloyd
    So we need to find the other magistones too.
[10:31] Lloyd
    Can you detect them?
[10:33] Claire
    I can sense them somewhat
    once we're close enough,
[10:36] Claire
    but not over distances like this.
[10:38] Lloyd
    Okay, then we should be able to do this.
[10:41] Claire
    Right?
[10:42] Claire
    Huh?!
[10:43] Claire
    We can do it?
[10:45] Lloyd
    Yeah.
[10:48] Claire
    Huh? What's this?
[10:50] Lloyd
    I've expanded your senses
[10:52] Lloyd
    so we can find the magistones.
[10:54] Lloyd
    It's a combination of
    Telepathy and search magic.
[10:57] Claire
    Incredible!
[11:03] Claire
    What is this?
[11:05] Lloyd
    Concealment magic.
[11:07] Claire
    Huh?
[11:11] Lloyd
    Now we can get close to the magistones
    without the monsters noticing us.
[11:15] Lloyd
    The spell breaks with heavy
     impact, so tread lightly.
[11:19] Lloyd
    Um...
[11:21] Lloyd
    What's the matter?
[11:22] Claire
    Lloyd, just who on earth are you?
[11:26] Lloyd
    No one shady.
[11:28] Claire
    No, I don't mean it like that...
[11:53] Lloyd
    Good. Let's keep nullifying
    the magistones like this.
[11:56] Claire
    Yes!
[12:09] Aide
    Is this really the right thing to do?
[12:13] Urgo
    Worried?
[12:17] Urgo
    I understand how you feel.
[12:19] Urgo
    Our lives will depend on him, after all.
[12:27] (Flashback) Adventurer
    Lloyd?
[12:28] (Flashback) Lina
    That's right.
[12:29] (Flashback) Lina
    The cornerstone of the hero's party
[12:32] (Flashback) Lina
    wasn't Allen the hero or Sheena the saint.
[12:37] (Flashback) Lina
    It was Lloyd the white mage!
[12:40] (Flashback) Adventurer
    Huh? A white mage?
[12:41] (Flashback) Adventurer
    Lloyd?
[12:42] (Flashback) Adventurer
    No way. He was just a support, right?
[12:45] (Flashback) Adventurer
    Then why did you guys kick him out?
[12:48] (Flashback) Lina
    We were all blinded by the hero's title.
[12:52] (Flashback) Lina
    We grew overconfident
    in our strength without realizing
[12:55] (Flashback) Lina
    it was all thanks to Lloyd's support magic,
[12:58] (Flashback) Lina
    so we kicked him out.
[13:01] (Flashback) Urgo
    The way the hero's party used
    to fight was impressive to watch.
[13:05] (Flashback) Urgo
    You're saying that was the work
     of this Lloyd fellow?
[13:09] (Flashback) Lina
    Precisely.
[13:10] (Flashback) Adventurer
    Whoa!
[13:11] (Flashback) Adventurer
    Wow!
[13:13] (Flashback) Adventurer
    Seriously?
[13:15] (Flashback) Lina
    We might be able to turn things
     around with Lloyd's help.
[13:18] (Flashback) Lina
    Does anyone here know where he is?
[13:21] (Flashback) Urgo
    He's not in town right now.
[13:23] (Flashback) Lina
    What?!
[13:24] (Flashback) Urgo
    I keep tabs on every adventurer
    registered with the guild.
[13:29] (Flashback) Urgo
    Lloyd should be out on a monster-slaying
     quest with an S-rank party.
[13:34] (Flashback) Urgo
    The trip alone will take them a few days.
[13:38] (Flashback) Lina
    No, Lloyd will be able to shorten their
    travel time with his support magic.
[13:43] (Flashback) Lina
    It's possible...
[13:45] (Flashback) Lina
    Are all of you willing to bet on Lloyd?
[13:50] Urgo
    Everyone agreed to Lina's proposal,
[13:53] Urgo
    but they're all anxious.
[13:56] Urgo
    We all want to protect our
    friends, family, and loved ones.
[14:01] Urgo
    At last, they've come!
[14:06] Lina
    Everyone!
[14:07] Lina
    Prepare for battle!
[14:08] Lina
    Archers, fire!
[14:13] Lina
    Shields up next!
[14:14] Lina
    Don't falter!
[14:15] Lina
    Just push the enemy back in the moat!
[14:18] Lina
    Mages, fire!
[14:20] Mages
    Fireball!
[14:23] Mages
    Aqua Wave!
[14:29] Urgo
    The stream will both wash away
     the monsters and deepen the moat.
[14:34] Urgo
    We'll keep this up,
[14:36] Urgo
    and then...
[14:37] Urgo
    As long as we can hold out until the S-rankers
    and Lloyd the white mage return,
[14:42] Urgo
    we have a chance.
[14:57] Others
    Phew.
[14:59] Yui
    Just a little farther to Ishtar.
[15:01] Yui
    Can you all keep running?
[15:03] Cross
    This is nothing.
[15:05] Daggas
    We have Lloyd's support magic helping us.
[15:08] Silica
    He must be doing everything he
    can to save Ishtar right now too.
[15:13] Silica
    So we can't afford to rest.
[15:16] Yui
    That's right.
[15:18] Yui
    Let's hurry, everyone!
[15:19] Three
    Yeah!
[15:21] Lloyd
    This is the last magistone.
[15:25] Lloyd
    High wolves, blood panthers...
[15:29] Lloyd
    They're all fearsome monsters.
[15:31] Lloyd
    Let's do this quick.
[15:33] Claire
    Yes.
[15:49] Lloyd
    What's going on here?
[15:51] Claire
    I was careless.
[15:52] Claire
    High wolves and blood
    panthers hate each other.
[15:55] Claire
    I think they've chosen to fight instead
    of returning to the forest.
[16:00] Lloyd
    Kureha!
[16:07] Claire
    Your concealment magic!
[16:18] Lloyd
    I'm your opponent!
[16:28] Lina
    That's it!
[16:29] Lina
    Just keep holding out!
[16:31] Messenger
    Report! I have a report!
[16:32] Messenger
    Severe damage to the right flank!
[16:35] Messenger
    Our line's been breached!
[16:36] Lina
    What?!
[16:40] Adventurer
    At this rate, the front line will—
[16:43] Adventurer
    It can't be...
[16:45] Adventurer
    There're still more coming?!
[16:52] Adventurer
    That spell was...
[16:55] Urgo
    They made it!
[16:59] Urgo
    The S-rank adventurers are here!
[17:10] Lloyd
    I can dodge them with my
    physical enhancement magic,
[17:14] Lloyd
    but it's only a matter of time!
[17:18] Claire
    Lloyd...
[17:20] Claire
    He's only fleeing and not attacking.
[17:24] (Flashback) Lloyd
    You really care about the monsters, don't you?
[17:29] Claire
    Is he doing that for my sake?
[18:13] Lloyd
    That was incredible.
[18:14] Lloyd
    What was that?
[18:15] Claire
    I just persuaded them
    to return to the forest.
[18:19] Lloyd
    You persuaded them?
[18:21] Claire
    Yes.
[18:22] Claire
    My magic doesn't manipulate monsters.
[18:24] Claire
    It lets me convey my thoughts to them.
[18:27] Lloyd
    You saved me.
[18:29] Lloyd
    I really owe you.
[18:30] Claire
    That's my line.
[18:32] Claire
    Thank you so much, Lloyd.
[18:38] Lloyd
    I don't really follow,
[18:40] Lloyd
    but now the monsters are free.
[18:43] Claire
    We should head to Ishtar too!
[18:45] Claire
    Yes!
[18:52] BGV
    Firestorm!
[18:55] BGV
    Firestorm!
[18:57] Silica
    Firestorm!
[19:04] Footsoldier
    The front line won't hold!
[19:06] Archer
    I'm running out of arrows!
[19:07] Archer
    Bring some over here!
[19:08] Mage
    We're running out of mana potions!
[19:10] Cross
    Things here are definitely...
[19:12] Silica
    They're bad, aren't they?
[19:14] Adventurer
    There's too many enemies!
[19:17] Lina
    Don't give up!
[19:18] Lina
    If we can hold out,
    we have a shot at victory!
[19:29] Lina
    Are you okay?!
[19:30] Adventurer
    Lina, look out!
[19:42] Adventurer
    Lina!
[19:43] Adventurer
    Lina!
[19:55] Urgo
    We've reached our limit...
[19:57] Urgo
    We can do no more.
[20:36] Adventurer
    Wh-What?
[20:39] Adventurer
    The monsters are leaving?
[20:43] Daggas
    Looks like he made it in time.
[20:46] Yui
    Yeah!
[20:48] Yui
    It's her and Lloyd!
[20:54] Lloyd
    Kureha...
[20:55] Claire
    I'm okay.
[20:56] Claire
    I just used my power a bit too much.
[21:00] Lloyd
    I see.
[21:04] Lloyd
    I can't believe you could communicate
     with so many monsters.
[21:07] Lloyd
    Your magic is wonderful.
[21:10] Claire
    You're one to talk, Lloyd.
[21:13] Claire
    I wouldn't be able to project my song
    across such a vast battlefield alone.
[21:19] Claire
    What kind of support magic did you use?
[21:21] Lloyd
    I just layered several casts of Mana
    Consumption Reduction and Magic Power Boost.
[21:27] Claire
    "Just"?
[21:30] Lloyd
    I may have supported you, sure,
[21:33] Lloyd
    but there's no question that it was
    your power that saved the monsters.
[21:40] Claire
    Lloyd...
[21:43] Claire
    It's Claire.
[21:46] Claire
    My real name's actually Claire.
[21:53] Lloyd
    You hid that for a reason, didn't you?
[21:55] Claire
    Yes.
[21:56] Lloyd
    I'll ask you more about it later.
[22:05] Lloyd
    We have to put an end to this battle first!
